Isabelle Lightwood Quotes

(Alec gets Clary’s new Fearless rune…)

Alec Lightwood: Mother. Father. There’s something I have to tell you. I’m seeing someone.

Robert Lightwood: Alec, this is hardly the time.

Alec Lightwood: Yes, it is. This is important. You see, I’m not just seeing anyone. I’m seeing a Downworlder. In fact, I’m seeing a war…

(Magnus stops him with a spell, no one notices…)

Maryse Lightwood: Alec!

Alec Lightwood: Wha—what—why am I on the floor?

Izzy Lightwood: That’s a good question. What was that?

Alec Lightwood: What was what? Wait—did I say anything? Before I passed out, I mean.

Jace Herondale: You know how we were wondering if that thing Clary did would work or not? It works all right.

Alec Lightwood: What did I say?

Robert Lightwood: You said you were seeing someone. Though you weren’t clear as to why that was important.

Alec Lightwood: It’s not. I mean, I’m not seeing anyone. And it’s not important. Or it wouldn’t be if I was seeing someone, which I’m not.

Magnus Bane: Alec’s been delirious. Side effect of some demon toxins. Most unfortunate, but he’ll be fine soon.

Izzy Lightwood (about Simon): And now what are we supposed to do?

Raphael Santiago: Bury him.

Jace Herondale: That’s not funny.

Raphael Santiago: It isn’t supposed to be. It is how we are made. We are drained, blooded, and buried. When he digs his own way out of a grave, that is when a vampire is born.

Izzy Lightwood (disgusted): I don’t think I could do that.

Raphael Santiago: Some can’t. If no one is there to help them dig out, they stay like that, trapped like rats under the earth.

Jace: You know how the bonds of family are, my lady. They cling as tightly as vines. And sometimes, like vines, they cling tightly enough to kill.

Seelie Queen: You would betray your own father for the sake of the Clave?

Jace: Even so, Lady.

Seelie Queen (laughs): Who would have thought, that Valentine’s little experiments would turn on him?

Izzy Lightwood: Experiments?

Seelie Queen (to Jace): The Fair Folk are a people of secrets. Our own, and others’. Ask your father, when next you see him, what blood runs in your veins, Jonathan.

Izzy Lightwood: How did you get Magnus to let Jace leave?

Clary Fairchild: Traded him for Alec.

(Isabelle looks mildly alarmed.)

Izzy Lightwood: Not permanently?

Jace Herondale: No. Just for a few hours. Unless I don’t come back. In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy.

Izzy Lightwood: Mom and Dad won’t be pleased if they find out.

Simon Lewis: That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? No, probably not.

Clary Fairchild (to Alec): So Magnus fixed you? Luke said…

Izzy Lightwood: He did! It was so awesome. He showed up and ordered everyone out of the room and shut the door. Blue and red sparks kept exploding out into the hallway from underneath the floor.

Alec Lightwood: I don’t remember any of it.

Izzy Lightwood: Then he sat by Alec’s bed all night and into the morning to make sure he woke up okay.

Alec Lightwood: I don’t remember that, either.

(Says Alec hastily and Izzy smiles)

Clary Fairchild: Do I need any weapons? Do you?

Izzy Lightwood: I’ve got plenty. (shows Clary her anklets) These, for instance. The left one is electrum, which is poisonous to demons, and the right one is blessed iron, in case I run across any unfriendly vampires or even faeries,  faeries hate iron. They both have strength runes carved into them, so I can pack a hell of a kick.

Clary Fairchild: Demon-hunting and fashion. I never would have thought they went together.”

Izzy Lightwood: You’d be surprised.

Clary Fairchild: Isabelle, can I ask you something?

Izzy Lightwood: Sure.

Clary Fairchild: Is Alec gay?

Izzy Lightwood: How did you guess?

Clary Fairchild: I…

Izzy Lightwood: You absolutely can’t tell anyone.

Clary Fairchild: Not even Jace?

Izzy Lightwood: Especially not Jace!

Clary Fairchild: All right. I guess I didn’t realize it was such a big deal.

Izzy Lightwood: It would be to my parents. They would disown him and throw him out of the Clave…

Clary Fairchild: What, you can’t be gay and a Shadowhunter?

Izzy Lightwood: There’s no official rule about it. But people don’t like it. I mean, less with people our age—I think… But the older generation, no. If it happens, you don’t talk about it.
