Chain of Thorns, page 181:

Cordelia: "Thomas helped you? Thomas Lightwood?"

Alastair: "Oh, look, we're here!" *jumps out of moving carriage*

Chain of Thorns, page 405:

Matthew: "I feel like I might be sick."

James: "That's what the city pavement is for. And you're already steadier on your feet."

Matthew: "I really don't know why people say you are the nicer one of the two of us. It is clearly untrue."

James: "No one says that. What they say is that I am the handsomer one."

Matthew: "That is also clearly untrue."

James: "And the better dancer."

Matthew: "James, this terrible habit of lying seems to have come on you suddenly. I am concerned, very concerned-"

Thomas: "I wish that you would stop telling me what the best thing for me is. You tell me over and over that there are all these reasons why you think my loving you would be bad for me."

Alastair: "I didn't say anything about love."

Thomas: "Well, I DID."

Chain of Thorns, page 179:

Alastair: "Look, you need not discuss your feelings about James, Matthew, or whatever other harem of men you may have acquired, with me. I merely want to know if you're all right."

Cordelia: "No, you want to know if either of them has done something awful to me, so you can chase them around, shouting."

Alastair: "I could want both."

Chain of Thorns, page 178:

Alastair: "Your devotion to your family is admirable. I'm sure it is unrelated to your having just run off to Paris with your husband's parabatai.

Cordelia: "I had my reasons Alastair."

Alastair: "I'm sure you did. I wish you'd tell me what they were. Are you in love with Matthew?"

Cordelia: "I don't know."

Alastair: "Are you in love with James, then?"

Cordelia: "Well, we are married."

Alastair: "That's not really an answer. I don't really like James, but on the other hand, I also don't like Matthew very much. So you see, I am torn."

Cordelia: "Well, this must be very difficult for you. I cannot imagine how you will find it within yourself to go on."

"Alastair took the spot after Thomas; as they passed each other, their hands touched lightly. They were always touching- Alastair straightening Thomas's tie, Thomas ruffling Alastair's hair- much to Sona's amusement. Cordelia found it quite sweet."

Chain of Thorns, page 754

"I thought if I was with Cordelia, I would not require the bottle. But it seems it was too late for that. The bottle requires me."  "I require you more," James said. "Math, let me help you."

Chain of Thorns, page 573:

James: "You shouldn't have come, Math."

Matthew: "Whither thou goest."

James: "Not if you're following me into death."

Matthew: "I think you'll find that it's *especially* when I'm following you into death. 'Aught but death part thee and me.' No exceptions for demonic dimension."
