“Not much had changed at Magnus’s since the first time Jace had been there. Jace used an open rune to get through the front door and took the stairs, buzzing Magnus’s apartment bell. It was safer that way because Magnus could be playing video games naked or really anything. Magnus yanked the door open, looking furious. He was wearing a black silk dressing gown, his feet were bare, his dark hair was tangled, “What are you doing here?”

“My,” said Jace, “You’re so unwelcoming.”

“That’s because you’re not welcome.”

“I thought we were friends,” said Jace.

“No, you’re Alec’s friend, Alec was my boyfriend so I had to put up with you. But now he’s not my boyfriend so I don’t have to put up with you.”

“I think you should get back together with Alec,” said Jace.

Magnus looked at him, “And why is that?”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“If Jace was gold, catching the light and the attention, Alec was silver: so used to everyone else looking at Jace that that was where he looked too, so used to living in Jace’s shadow that he didn’t expect to be seen. Maybe it was enough to be the first person to tell Alec that he was worth being seen ahead of anyone in a room, and of being looked at longest.
And silver, though few people knew it, was a rarer metal than gold.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

“The posters bore the words WITH THE PASSING YEARS COMES...IMPOTENCE! Magnus found himself staring at the posters with a sort of absent horror. He looked at Alec and found that Alec could not tear his eyes away either. He wondered if Alec was aware that Magnus was three hundred years old and whether Alec was considering exactly how impotent one might become after that much time.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

“I love you, Cleo," he said, the words finally coming to him, with no effort at all because of how true they were. "I love you so much it hurts."

Magnus almost laughed. "I think you heard me right.”
― Morgan Rhodes, Frozen Tides

“Alec surprised Magnus and the werewolf both by breaking away and lunging at Marcy. Whatever he had been planning, it didn’t work: this time the werewolf’s swipe caught him full in the chest. Alec went flying into a hot pink wall decorated with gold glitter. He hit a mirror set into the wall and decorated with curling gold fretwork with enough force to crack the glass across.
“Oh, stupid Shadowhunters,” Magnus moaned under his breath. But Alec used his own body hitting the wall as leverage, rebounding off the wall and up, catching a sparkling chandelier and swinging, then dropping down as lightly as a leaping cat and crouching to attack again in one smooth movement. “Stupid, sexy Shadowhunters.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

“Also, I kept thinking about Alex Fierro. You know, maybe just a little. Alex was a force of nature, like the snow thunder. She struck when she felt like it, depending on temperature differentials and storm patterns I couldn't possibly predict. She shook my foundations in a way that was powerful but also weirdly soft and constrained, veiled in blizzard. I couldn't assign any motives to her. She just did what she wanted. At least, that's how it felt to me.”
― Rick Riordan, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard

“A girl clutched Magnus’s sleeve and gazed up at him, her false lashes dusted with silver glitter. “Don’t go in,” she whispered. “There’s a monster in there.”
I am a monster, Magnus thought. And monsters are his specialty.
He didn’t say it. Instead he said, “I don’t believe you,” and walked in. He meant it, too: the
Shadowhunters, even Alec, might believe Magnus was a monster, but Magnus didn’t believe it himself. He’d taught himself not to believe it even though his mother, the man he’d called his father, and a thousand others had told him it was true.
Magnus would not believe the girl in there was a monster either, no matter what she might look like to mundanes and Nephilim. She had a soul, and that meant she could be saved.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

'Yes,' Julian said. 'But I'm going to be a monster either way.”

“Ah hayır, Raphael, lütfen beni terk etme," dedi Magnus monoton bir sesle. "O tatlı gülüşünün ışığı olmadan ne yaparım ben? Eğer gidersen kendimi yere atıp ağlarım."
"Öyle mi?" diye sordu Raphael, bir kaşını kaldırıp. "Çünkü bunu yaparsan yanında kalır ve gösteriyi izlerim."
"Çık dışarı," dedi Magnus ona. "Dışarı! Gitmeni istiyorum! Sen buradan ayrıldığında bir parti vereceğim ve sen, partilerden nefret edersin.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“Ne iş yapıyorsunuz?" diye sordu kadın.
"Ivır zıvır," dedi Magnus.
"Modayla ilgileniyor musunuz? Moda sektöründe çalışır gibi görünüyorsunuz."
"Hayır," dedi Magnus. "Ben modanın ta kendisiyim.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“You do not know me if you think I’d hide. I’m in the light. I am free. Where is my beautiful woman? She runs from her heart. Yet you run through my veins. Your fire burns inside me. I run with you.”

“Sen hâlâ sarhoş olmana rağmen, aslında oldukça keyifli bir yemek oldu."
"O noktada ayılmaya başlamış olduğuma eminim," diyerek itiraz etti Magnus.
"Magnus, kendi tabağınla flörtleşmeye çalışıyordun."
"Ben oldukça açık fikirli biriyimdir!"
"Ragnor ise değildir," dedi Catarina. "Bize deney faresi yedirdiğini keşfettiği zaman tabağını alıp başında parçaladı."
"Ve aşkımız böylece sona erdi," dedi Magnus. "Eh, her neyse. Tabakla uzun bir beraberlik yaşamamız zaten mucize olurdu.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“Ama senin derdin eğlenmek değil, değil mi James Herondale?" diye sordu Magnus. "Aslında derdin cehenneme gitmek."
"Belki de cehenneme gitmenin eğlenceli olduğunu düşünüyorumdur." dedi James Herondale ve gözleri tahmin edilemez acılar taşırcasına, cehennem ateşi gibi parladı.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“Güven. Bu tıpkı birinin eline kılıç verip, ucunu kalbine dayamaya benziyor."
"Senden bana güvenmeni istemedim," diye belirtti Magnus nazikçe. "Henüz yeni tanıştık."
"Ah, sana güveneceğim," dedi genç, umursamaz bir tavırla. "Ne fark eder ki? Er ya da geç hepimiz ihanete uğrarız. Ya ihanete uğrarız ya da bir hain oluruz.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“Lily gözlerini Raphael'den ayırmadan Magnus'un yanına sokuldu.
"Ondan hoşlandım," dedi. "Çok acayip olmasına karşın patronluk taslıyor. Ne demek istediğimi anlıyor musun?"
"Üzgünüm. Birinin Raphael'den hoşlandığını duyunca şaşkınlıktan duyma yetimi kaybettim.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

La psique mutilada de nuestro hermano hace de la planificación una tarea imposible pero al fin, aquí estamos. El principio del fin.”
― Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Betrayer
