“I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain.”

“Is it ever difficult?” Magnus asked.
“Is what difficult?”
“Sharing your husband’s heart so entirely with someone else,” he said.
“If it were different, it would not be Will’s heart,” Tessa said. “He knows he shares my heart with Jem as well. I would have it no other way—and he would have it no other way with me.”

Tessa: So, Will is no longer allowed to take the trash out at night.
Jem: Why?
Tessa: Because I've caught him trying to train raccoons to fight five times in a row.
Will, arms crossed and pouting: You'll be thanking me when the third raccoon battalion saves your ass.

Herondales
"Herondales." Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. "I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don't carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It's too heavy for even a Herondale to bear.
- City of Heavenly Fire, TMI
“I’ll find you something. Something that says Herondale.” “I could slay with my deadly sense of humor and wicked charm,” said Kit. “Now that says Herondale.” Jace looked pleased
- Queen of Air and Darkness, TDA
Kit’s jaw was still set. Jem knew that look. Herondales were always flames, he thought. They loved and suffered as if they would burn away with the sheer force of their own fire.
- Ghosts of the Shadow Market
The Herondales are a rather infamous line, as you probably know. Many of them heroes, some of them traitors, so many of them brash, wild creatures consumed by their passions, whether it be love or hate.
- Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
Tobias loved her more than he’d loved anything—his family, his duty, even himself. There, perhaps, the Herondale blood ran true.

Tessa: I just caught my toddler baptizing her barbie in the cat's waterbowl. Then, naturally, like one does, sucked all of the water out of the barbie's hair and did a nice refreshed "ahh!" afterwards.

There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.
