And even back then, in that stupid coffee shop, when I saw you sitting on that couch with Simon, even then that felt wrong to me– I should have been the one sitting with you. The one who made you laugh like that. I couldn’t get rid of that feeling. That it should have been me. And the more I knew you, the more I felt it–it had never been like that for me before.

Isabelle looked mildly alarmed. “Not permanently?” “No,” said Jace. “Just for a few hours. Unless I don’t come back,” he added thoughtfully. “In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy.”Isabelle looked dubious. “Mom and Dad won’t be pleased if they find out.” “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?” Simon inquired. “No, probably not.-Cassandra Clare

I’m out of commission.” He pointed at himself – he was wearing blue pajamas with a hole in the sleeve. “Look. Jammies.” “Jace,” Clary said, “this is important.”
“Don’t tell me,” he said. “You’ve got a drawing emergency. You need a nude model. Well, I’m not in the mood. You could always ask Hodge,” he said as an afterthought. “I hear he’ll do anything for a -“”JACE!” she interrupted him, her voice rising to a scream. “JUST SHUT UP FOR A SECOND AND LISTEN, WILL YOU?-Cassandra Clare

52. Clary, Despite everything, I can’t bear the thought of this ring being lost forever, any more then I can bear the thought of leaving you forever. And though I have no choice about the one, at least I can choose about the other. I’m leaving you our family ring because you have as much right to it as I do.I’m writing this watching the sun come up. You’re asleep, dreams moving behind your restless eyelids. I wish I knew what you were thinking. I wish I could slip into your head and see the world the way you do. I wish I could see myself the way you do. But maybe I dont want to see that. Maybe it would make me feel even more than I already do that I’m perpetuating some kind of Great Lie on you, and I couldn’t stand that. I belong to you. You could do anything you wanted with me and I would let you. You could ask anything of me and I’d break myself trying to make you happy. My heart tells me this is the best and greatest feeling I have ever had. But my mind knows the difference between wanting what you can’t have and wanting what you shouldn’t want. And I shouldn’t want you.All night I’ve watched you sleeping, watched the moonlight come and go, casting its shadows across your face in black and white. I’ve never seen anything more beautiful. I think of the life we could have had if things were different, a life where this night is not a singular event, separate from everything else that’s real, but every night. But things aren’t different, and I can’t look at you without feeling like I’ve tricked you into loving me.The truth no one is willing to say out loud is that no one has a shot against Valentine but me. I can get close to him like no one else can. I can pretend I want to join him and he’ll believe me, up until that last moment where I end it all, one way or another. I have something of Sebastian’s; I can track him to where my father’s hiding, and that’s what I’m going to do. So I lied to you last night. I said I just wanted one night with you. But I want every night with you. And that’s why I have to slip out of your window now, like a coward. Because if I had to tell you this to your face, I couldn’t make myself go. I don’t blame you if you hate me, I wish you would. As long as I can still dream, I will dream of you._Jace-Cassandra Clare

And what color do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?Mauve,said Will.-Cassandra Clare

57. What are all these?” Clary asked.”Vials of holy water, blessed knives, steel and silver blades,” Jace said, piling the weapons on the floor beside him, “electrum wire – not much use at the moment but it’s always good to have spares – silver bullets, charms of protetion, crucifixes, stars of David-“”Jesus,” said Clary”I doubt he’d fit.””Jace.” Clary was appalled.-Cassandra Clare

Some things,” Jace said, with his customary crooked smile, “are just too unlikely to dwell upon.-Cassandra ClareMust you go? I was rather hoping you’d stay and be a ministering angel, but if you must go, you must.””I’ll stay,” Will said a bit crossly, and threw himself down in the armchair Tessa had just vacated. “I can minister angelically.” “None too convincingly. And you’re not as pretty to look at as Tessa is,” Jem said, closing his eyes as he leaned back against the pillow.”How rude. Many who have gazed upon me have compared the experience to gazing at the radiance of the sun.”Jem still had his eyes closed. “If they mean it gives you a headache, they aren’t wrong.-Cassandra Clare

63. You could have fooled me. Everytime I called you, Luke said you were sick. I figured you were avoiding me. Again.” “I wasn’t. I did want to talk to you.

67. Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact?” Will demanded with mock horror. “Clearly I have been doing something wrong.

Strange to imagine that, isn’t it a heart ringing but when you touch me that is what it is like: as if my heart is ringing in my chest and the sound shivers down my veins and splinters my bones with joy.Why have I written these words in this book? Because of you. You taught me to love this book where I had scorned it. When I read it for the second time, with an open mind and heart, I felt the most complete despair and envy of Sydney Carton. Yes, Sydney, for even if he had no hope that the woman he loved would love him, at least he could tell her of his love. At least he could do something to prove his passion, even if that thing was to die.

78. I would have chosen death for a chance to tell you the truth, Tessa, if I could have been assured that death would be my own. And that is why I envied Sydney, for he was free.And now at last I am free, and I can finally tell you, without fear of danger to you, all that I feel in my heart.You are not the last dream of my soul.You are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself from dreaming.

Trains are great dirty smoky things,” said Will. “You won’t like it.” Tessa was unmoved. “I won’t know if I like it until I try it, will I?” “I’ve never swum naked in the Thames before, but I know I wouldn’t like it.” “But think how entertaining for sightseers,” said Tessa, and she saw Jem duck his head to hide the quick flash of his grin.-Cassandra Clare

CEASE THAT INFERNAL RACKET! Jem” Jem, rising to his feet, clapped his hands over Will’s mouth. “Do you promise to be quiet?” he hissed into his friend’s ear.Will nodded, blue eyes blazing. Tessa was staring at him in amazement; they all were. She had seen Will many things amused, bitter, condescending, angry, pityingbut never giddy before.Jem let him go. “All right, then.”Will slid to the floor, his back against the armchair, and threw up his arms. “A demon pox on all your houses!” he announced, and yawned.”Oh, God, weeks of pox jokes,” said Jem. “We’re in for it now.-Cassandra Clare

90. Whatever you are physically…male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy–all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.-Cassandra Clare

91. Jace?” “Yeah?” “How did you know I had Shadowhunter blood? Was there some way you could tell?” The elevator arrived with a final groan. Jace unlatched the gate and slid it open. The inside reminded Clary of a birdcage, all black metal and decorative bits of gilt. “I guessed,” he said, latching the door behind them. “It seemed like the most likely explanation.” “You guessed? You must have been pretty sure, considering you could have killed me.”He pressed a button in the wall, and the elevator lurched into action with a vibrating groan that she felt all through the bones in her feet. “I was ninety percent sure.””I see,” Clary said.There must have been something in her voice, because he turned to look at her.

92. But-” Maia, still looking at Alec and Magnus, broke off and rasied her eyebrows. Simon turned to see what she was looking at – and stared. Alec had his arms around Magnus and was kissing him full on the mouth. Magnus, who appeared to be in a state of shock, stood frozen. Several groups of people – Shadowhunters and Downworlders alike – were staring and whispering. Glancing to the side, Simon saw the Lightwoods, their eyes widen, gaping at the display. Maryse had her hand over her mouth.Maia looked perplexed. “Wait a second,” she said. “Do we all have to do that, too?-Cassandra Clare

20. You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?” “A long one?-Cassandra Clare

21. You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me.”She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was, covered in blood and dirt, he was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. “But I don’t want anything else in the world.-Cassandra Clare

22. That does it,” said Jace. “I’m going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year.” “Why?” Isabelle said. “So you can look up ‘fun.’ I’m not sure you know what it means.-Cassandra Clare

23. Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks?”

28. I’ve got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?” “A regrettable choice of words,” muttered Magnus.-Cassandra Clare

31. Investigation?” Isabelle laughed. “Now we’re detectives? Maybe we should all have code names.””Good idea,” said Jace. “I shall be Baron Hotschaft Von Hugenstein.-Cassandra Clare

32. Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited.-Cassandra Clare

33. What’s this?” he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might know what she was doing there. “It’s a girl,” Jace said,recovering his composure. “Surely you’ve seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one.-Cassandra Clare

36. You know,” Gabriel said, “there was a time I thought we could be friends, Will.”

40. Usually I’m remarkably good natured. Try me on a day that doesn’t end in y.-Cassandra Clare

42. There’s plenty of sense in nonsense sometimes, if you wish to look for it.-Cassandra Clare

43. Is standing by the window muttering about blood something he does all the time?” asked Simon.”No,” Jace said. “Sometimes he sits on the couch and does it.-Cassandra Clare

45. Ah, said a voice from the doorway, having your annual everyone thinks Will is a lunatic meeting, are you? It’s biannual, said Jem. And no, this is not that meeting.-Cassandra Clare

53. In the end that was the choice you made, and it doesn’t matter how hard it was to make it. It matters that you did.-Cassandra Clare

54. If you ever meet the man who could take advantage of Isabelle, you’ll have to let me know. I’d like to shake his hand. Or run away from him very fast, I’m not sure which.-Cassandra Clare

55. Is there some particular reason that you’re here?” …”Not this again.””Not what again?” said Clary. “Every time I annoy him, he retreats into his No Mundanes Allowed tree house.” Simon pointed at Jace.-Cassandra Clare

58. So when the moon’s only partly full, you only feel a little wolfy?” “You could say that.” “Well, you can go ahead and hang your head out the car window if you feel like it.” “I’m a werewolf, not a golden retriever.-Cassandra Clare

59. Your friend’s poetry is terrible,” he said. Clary blinked, caught momentarily off guard. “What?” “I said his poetry was terrible. It sounds like he ate a dictionary and started vomiting up words at random. -Cassandra Clare

60. It’s not gray,” Clary felt compelled to point out. “It’s green.” “If there was such a thing as terminal literalism, you’d have died in childhood,” said Jace.-Cassandra Clare

61. Did you ever think that in a past life Alec was an old woman with ninety cats who was always yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off her lawn? Because I do,-Cassandra Clare

64.I thought I’d lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while,” he grunted, “It relaxes me.” “It does? Oh – you’re being sarcastic. That’s a good sign probably. -Cassandra Clare

65. A diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?-Cassandra Clare

68. You’re an idiot.” “I’ve never claimed to be otherwise.-Cassandra Clare

69. Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.-Cassandra Clare

71. You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.-Cassandra Clare

72. Jace shook his blond head in exasperation. “You had to make a crazy jail friend, didn’t you? You couldn’t just count ceiling tiles or tame a pet mouse like normal prisoners do? -Cassandra Clare

73. What do you want?” “Just coffee. Black – like my soul.-Cassandra Clare

74. My rapier wit hides my inner pain.-Cassandra Clare

76. You might want to lie down,” Magnus advised. “I find that it helps when the crushing sense of horrible realization sets in.-Cassandra Clare

83. Have you tried talking to her?” “No. We’ve been punching her in the face repeatedly. What? You don’t think that will work?-Cassandra Clare

84. 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.-Cassandra Clare

85. Well, she’s not responding to my advances,” he observed more brightly than he felt, “so she must be dead.” “Or she’s a woman of good taste and sense.-Cassandra Clare

87. We need to talk. All of us About what we’re going to do now.””I was going to watch Project Runway.-Cassandra Clare

88. I figured all your classes were stuff like Slaughter 101 and Beheading for Beginners.”Jace flipped a page. “Very funny, Fray.-Cassandra Clare

96. It’s the mortal cup Jace, not the mortal toilet bowl.-Cassandra Clare

97. You know, some people think Shadowhunters are just myths. Like mummies and genies.” Kyle grinned at Jace. “Can you grant wishes?”

99. There’s no need to clarify my finger snap,” said Magnus. “The implication was clear in the snap itself.-Cassandra Clare

101. Black hair and blue eyes are my favorite combination.-Cassandra Clare

102. I don’t care,” Clary said. “He’d do it for me. Tell me he wouldn’t. If I were missing-” “He’d burn the whole world down till he could dig you out of the ashes. I know,” Alec said.-Cassandra Clare
