Cassandra Clare Quote

Iz, Alec said tiredly. It's not like it's one big bad thing. It's a lot of little invisible things. When Magnus and I were traveling, and I'd call from the road, Dad never asked how he was. When I get up to talk in Clave meetings, no one listens, and I don't know if that's because I'm young or if it's because of something else. I saw Mom talking to a friend about her grandchildren and the second I walked into the room they shut up. Irina Cartwright told me it was a pity no one would ever inherit my blue eyes now. He shrugged and looked toward Magnus, who took a hand off the wheel for a moment to place it on Alec's. It's not like a stab wound you can protect me from. It's a million little paper cuts every day.
