Alec Lightwood: Straight people. Why can’t they control themselves?
Alec Lightwood: There’s a Hot Silent Brothers Calendar? Do they sell it?
Alec Lightwood: I did not make a pie for three reasons. One, because I do not have any pie ingredients. Two, because I don’t actually know how to make a pie.

also Alec Lightwood: Take my hands. And take my strength too. Whatever of it you can use to— to keep yourself going.
also Alec Lightwood: It's not like it's one big bad thing. It's a lot of little invisible things. When Magnus and I were traveling, and I'd call from the road, Dad never asked how he was. When I get up to talk in Clave meetings, no one listens, and I don't know if that's because I'm young or if it's because of something else. I saw Mom talking to a friend about her grandchildren and the second I walked into the room they shut up. Irina Cartwright told me it was a pity no one would ever inherit my blue eyes now. It's not like a stab wound you can protect me from. It's a million little paper cuts every day.
