the infernal devices by cassandra clare ♡

"Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two."

“They say you cannot love two people equally at once, Tessa said. And perhaps for others that is so. But you and Will — you are not like two ordinary people, two people who might have been jealous of each other, or who would have imagined my love for one of them diminished by my love of the other. You merged your souls when you were both children. I could not have loved Will so much if I had not loved you as well. And I could not love you as I do if I had not loved Will as I did.”

Tess, Tess, Tessa. Was there ever a more beautiful sound than your name? +

"Sometimes, when I have to do something I don't want to do, I pretend I'm a character from a book. It's easier to know what they would do."

"Like you are the ocean and he's desperate to drown."

"This is a love story. Twisted and messy. Flawed and screwed up. But it's ours. It's us. I don't know how our story will end. but I know how it will start."

"My name is not Mara Dyer, but my lawyer told me I had to choose something. A pseudonym. I know that having a fake name is strange, but trust me—it’s the most normal thing about my life right now. Even telling you this much probably isn’t smart. But without my big mouth, no one would know that a seventeen-year-old who likes Death Cab for Cutie was responsible for the murders. No one would know that somewhere out there is a B student with a body count. And it’s important that you know, so you’re not next."
