Book: City of lost souls

Eternity does not allow to forget the bitterness of loss, to accept it.

Sometimes, hope is all you have.

- It was just... She offered and I thought about it, but I couldn't go through with it... I couldn't do that to you.
- But you thought about it. And you never mentioned that to me. Magnus shook his head. - You don't trust me. And never trusted.
- I trust, ' said Alec. - I'll... I'll try. Give me another chance...
"No," replied Magnus. And if you let me, here's my advice: avoid Camille. There is a war, Alexander, and you don't want your loyalty was called into question. Isn't it?

"I remember," he said, ' when we first met, I said I was ninety percent sure that, if you draw a rune on you, it won't kill you? You hit me and asked what it was for the remaining ten percent.
Clary nodded.
I always thought that I was going to kill the demon, he continued Jace. Undead-renegade. In the battle. But in the very first meeting I realized that I would die if I do not kiss you...
Well, in the end you did... You kissed me.
He touched her hair:
- I can never get enough. Even if the rest of my life I will kiss you, this is not enough.

- Clary, you know that now what we... what we almost did in Paris...
But... you mean that we could go to the Eiffel tower?
Hey, come on, huh? Okay, I love you. In General, something else, what we almost did in Paris, has been postponed. If you don't want the expression "Baby, I'm burning up from your kisses" got the literal meaning.
- Now you can't kiss me?
- Well, kissing, probably. And what about all the rest...
She gently smiled.
- Never mind.
- Well, how could I not take the head?.. But it doesn't change who we are for each other. I always felt that in my soul there's a missing piece. This piece is about you, Clary. I once told you that I don't care if God exists or not, we are still one. But with you I'm not alone.

- Welcome to the orphanage of St. Magnus, ' he said and opened his arms. - Rooms over there. Wipe your feet.

- I - Simon, Simon said. - If I am willing to die for all of you, at least you have to remember my name.

He was parabates Jace, and that's all that was needed to Alec: he liked to be a dark star next to someone else's supernova.

You followed me and saved me when everyone else... well, almost all... have given me up, and those who have remained loyal to me, didn't know what to do.

- Tell me what you want? he asked in a whisper, which could not disguise the hoarseness in his voice.
- I just want you to hold me, she said. - While I was sleeping. That's all I want right now.

- I've recently been trying to remember the mortal sins. Greed, envy, gluttony... tediousness, the irony...
Well, I'm pretty sure that irony is not a mortal sin.
And I'm pretty sure that any.
- Lust, she said. - Lust is a mortal sin.
And flogging.
- I would put lust and spanking in the same category.
- And I would spanking allocated separately. So, what have we got? Greed, envy, gluttony, tediousness, irony, lust, and spanking.

- Want to see something specific? Budapest? Paris? The leaning tower of Pisa?
Only if it falls on the head of Sebastian, thought Clary.

- I'm not one of those who faints, looking like you're playing in "Scrabble", - recoiled from him, Clary. And mind you, I don't like dirty jokes.
- Hell, you read my mind. I just wanted to make a joke went.
- I learned something during this time. For example, to read your dirty thoughts.
- So, ninety-five percent of my thoughts.
