"'...Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?'
Jace said, "Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself."
..."At least," she said, "you don't have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland."
"Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting.""
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"There is no pretending," Jace said with absolute clarity. "I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then."
— Cassandra Clare (City of Glass)

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the
face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the
oranges you originally asked for."

" "I don't want to be a man," said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teeenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead."
"Well," said Luke, "you're doing a vantastic job.""
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

""Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?"

"If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.""
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

""Jesus!" Luke exclaimed.
"Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling."
"

"'...in fact, don't touch any of my weapons without my permission.'
"Well, there goes my plan for selling them all on ebay," Clary muttered.
"Selling them on what?"
Clary smiled blandly at him, "A mythical place of great magical power.""

"'the cuckoo bird,' she said. 'You see, cuckoos are parasites. They lay their eggs in other birds' nests. When the egg hatches, the baby cuckoo pushes the other baby birds out of the nest. The poor parent birds work themselves to death trying to find enough food to feed the enormous cuckoo child who has murdered their babies and taken their places.'

'Enormous?' said Jace. 'Did you just call me fat?'

'It was an analogy.'

'I am not fat.'

""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 (City of Ashes)

"'We came to see Jace. Is he alright?' -Clary

'I don't know,' Magnus said. 'Does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?'"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

"I'll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.' Will that make you happy?"

"Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited."
— Cassandra Clare

"Jace: Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you’d get dressed up in a nurse’s outfit and give me a sponge bath.
Clary: It was Simon who promised you the sponge bath.
Simon: As soon as I’m back on my feet, handsome.
Jace: I knew we should have left you a rat.
"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"'One of the Silent Brothers is here to see you. Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually he offered to wake you himself, but since it's 5 a.m., I figured you'd be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.' -Jace

'Meaning you?'-clary

'What else?'-jace"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"You wouldn't recognize a cunning plan if it painted itself blue and danced around naked singing 'cunning plans are here again'."
— Cassandra Clare

"'Can I help you with something?'
Clary turned instant traitor against her gender. "Those girls on the otherside of the car are staring at you."
Jace assumed an air of mellow gratification. 'Of course they are,'he said, 'I am stunningly attractive.'"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"Not everything is about you," Clary said furiously.
"Possibly," Jace said, "but you do have to admit that the majority of things are."
— Cassandra Clare (City of Glass)

"Just because you call an electric eel a rubber duck doesn't make it a rubber duck, does it? And God help the poor bastard who decides they want to take a bath with the duckie. (Jace Wayland)"

"Mom. I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like you and me…Well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.
-Simon"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

"‘Well, I’m not kissing the mundane,’ said Jace. ‘I’d rather stay down here and rot.’
‘Forever?’ said Simon. ‘Forever’s an awfully long time.’
Jace raised his eyebrows. ‘I knew it,’ he said. ‘You want to kiss me, don’t you?’
"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

""Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?"
"No" Simon said,"If you hurt Clary she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons"
-Jace Wayland and Simon"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Glass)

"'Don't tell me,' Jace said,'Simon's turned himself into an ocelot and you want me to do something about it before Isabelle makes him into a stole. Well, you'll have have to wait till tomarrow. 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 SECOUND AND LISTEN, WILL YOU?'

He blinked."
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"Clary: So when the moon's only partly full, you only feel a little wolfy?
Luke: You could say that.
Clary:Well, you can go ahead and hang your head out the car window if you feel like it.
Luke: I'm a werewolf, not a golden retriever

""I have a high pain threshold. In fact, it's more of a large and tastfully decorated foyer than a threshold. But I do get easily bored"

""You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?"
""A long one?"
-Alec and Jace (mortal Instruments, City of Glass)"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Glass)

" "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 (City of Ashes)

"'How awfully convenient for you, regardless. And for him. He won't have to worry about you spilling his secrets.'-Inquistor

'Yeah,' Jace said. 'He's terrified I'll tell everyone that he's always wanted to be a ballerina.'"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

"‘I guess it’s true what they say,’ observed Jace. ‘There are no straight men in the trenches.’
‘That’s atheists, jackass,’ said Simon furiously. ‘There are no atheists in the trenches.’

"It means 'Shadowhunters: Looking Better in Black Than the Widows of our Enemies Since 1234.'""
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"'I was ninety percent sure'
'I see' Clary said. There must have been something in her voice because he turned to look at her. Her hand crossed across his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put his hands on his cheek, more in surprise than pain.
'What the hell was that for?'
'The other ten percent'"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"Isabella with her whip and boots and knives would chop anyone who tried to pen her up in a tower into pieces, build a bridge out of the remains, and walk carelessly to freedom, her hair looking fabulous the entire time."
— Cassandra Clare

"Don't sulk. For someone with all the grace and coordination of a pregnant wildebeest, you did great."
— Cassandra Clare

"Isabelle drifted over, Jace a pace behind her. She was wearing a long black dress with boots and an even longer cutaway coat of soft green velvet, the color of moss. "I can't believe you did it!" she exclaimed. "How did you get Magnus to let Jace leave?"

"Traded him for Alec," Clary said.

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.""

"'Your so easy to tease. And yes, your friend is just fine. Well, except that he keeps putting all my things away and trying to clean up. Now I can't find anything. He's compulsive.'

-Magnus"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

"Catching sight of himself in the long mirrors that ran along the walls, he stiffened in shock...His eyes were surrounded by black shadows, his shirt smeared with dried blood and filthy mud...
"Admiring yourself?" The Inquisitor's voice cut through his reverie. "You won't look so pretty when the Clave gets through with you."
"You do seem obsessed with my look...Could it be that you're attracted to me?"
"Don't be revolting...You could be my son.""
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

""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."
-Jace and Clary"

"Edward - I wasn't about to send you off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive.
Bella - So let's say my bad luck did crash the plane. What exactly were you going to do about it?
Edward - Why is the plane crashing?
He was trying to hide a smile now.
Bella - The pilots are passed out drunk.
Edward - Easy. I'd fly the plane.
Of course. I pursed my lips and tried again.
Bella - Both engines have exploded and we're falling in a death spiral toward the earth.
Edward - I'd wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I'd run you back to the scene of the accident, and we'd stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history.
I stared at him wordlessly.
"What?" he whispered."
