„Shadowhunters. They get in your blood, under your skin. I’ve been with vampires, werewolves, faeries, warlocks like me– and humans, so many fragile humans. But I always told myself I wouldn’t give my heart to a Shadowhunter. I’ve so nearly loved them, been charmed by them– generations of them, sometimes: Edmund and Will and James and Lucie… the ones I saved and the ones I couldn’t. And Clary, too, I loved, for I watched her grow up. But I’ve never been in love with a Shadowhunter, not until Alec. For they have the blood of angels in them, and the love of angels is a high and holy thing.“
