Alec Lightwood Quotes

Alec Lightwood: Believe me, I want to live with you, but you were right. Having an outsider live at the Institute, that is against protocol. And how can I expect everyone else to follow the rules, if I don’t follow them myself?

Magnus Bane: I understand. I’ll move out first thing in the morning.

Alec Lightwood: However, there is no protocol that says the head of the Institute has to actually live at the Institute. So, when you find a place, I was hoping that we could… both move in… together.

Magnus Bane: Only if I get my own walk-in closet.

Alec Lightwood: You mean that?

Magnus Bane: Of course. I love you.

Magnus Bane: Freshly squeezed orange juice. And a full glass.

Alec Lightwood: One of the perks of living at the Institute. But, come on, get out of bed. Breakfast stops serving at 9:00 a.m.

Magnus Bane: Alexander, I appreciate the hospitality, but… doesn’t the Clave have rules against Downworlders living here?

Alec Lightwood: Oh, they’re not rules. They’re suggestions. What? You’re not living at the Institute. You’re just visiting for an extended period of time.

Lorenzo Rey: Let me tell you something about being a leader. When a subordinate comes to question your judgment and launches a fireball in your face, it’s your duty to put him in line. Your boyfriend still hasn’t accepted that I’m the High Warlock now. Not him. If I had to break his spirit to teach him that, so be it.

Alec Lightwood: Enjoy this position while it lasts. The Clave doesn’t take kindly to conniving, unethical Downworld… leaders. You will slip up. And when you do, I’ll be waiting there to take you down.

Magnus Bane: I’ve had many, many happy memories in this apartment. But at the end of the day, it’s just a thing. But my magic, it makes me feel alive. Yes, I can do fabulous tricks, jet around the world, help the people I love. But more than that… magic connects me to everything around me. Without magic, I feel like a stranger. The world keeps on going… and it’s like… It’s like I’m not a part of it. It’s like, suddenly, I don’t matter.

Alec Lightwood: Magnus, of course you matter.

Magnus Bane: I know. I know, Alexander. Everyone does. But without magic, I can’t feel it. This apartment is not important. I have you and I have my magic. Truly, that’s enough. Please, try and be happy for me.

Alec Lightwood: Why didn’t you tell me?

Izzy Lightwood: Because… I didn’t want you to look at me the way you’re looking at me now.

Alec Lightwood: Like what?

Izzy Lightwood: Like I’m weak.

Alec Lightwood: I wish I was half as strong as you on your weakest day. What? You can beat anyone or anything.

Izzy Lightwood: Except for this. It’s always gonna be there, like a shadow, just waiting for me to let my guard down.

Alec Lightwood: I did some reading about those mundane groups you go to. This isn’t your fight, it’s ours. No one does this alone. Izzy, look, I know you’ve heard all that before. Just… Please be honest with the people who care about you. Whether it’s vampire venom or uncovering Clave conspiracies… I’m here with you, every step of the way.

Alec Lightwood: This whole mortality thing is gonna take some getting used to.

Magnus Bane: Perhaps more than I realized. I’ve been lucky to live a life relatively free of FOMO. Can’t blame me for wanting to make each moment count.

Alec Lightwood: Of course not. It’s just… the thing about moments is that you’ll miss them if you’re always running after the next one. When I’m 90, I’m not gonna remember the trendy gallery or the amazing Greek food we had if we don’t slow down… and savor moments like these. When I’m staring into the eyes of the man that I love.

Magnus Bane: Of course. Everything I need is right here in front of me. Amazing how a twenty-something pup can teach an old man new tricks.

Alec Lightwood: Please don’t try to make “pup” a thing…
