“Break my heart. Break it in pieces. I give you permission.”

“A dark time is coming for Shadowhunters. A terrible time. Their power will be crushed, their might thrown down into the dirt, and their blood will run like water through the riverbeds of the world.”

“There is truth in stories,” said Arthur. “There is truth in one of your paintings, boy or in a sunset or a couplet from Homer. Fiction is truth, even if it is not a fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die.”

“Those who cannot love do not understand it.”

“There were valuable first editions of books in the enormous library, most of them had been scribbled in by some idiot named Will H.”

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

Mark had a smile that could break your heart. It seemed to take up his whole face and brighten his eyes, firing the blue and gold from inside.
"A strange evening, forsooth," he said.
"Don't you forsooth me."

"You really think that's such a good idea?" Kit said. "I mean, your house is pretty screwed up, what with your agoraphobic uncle and your weird brother."
Julian's hands tightened on the wheel, but the onyl thing he said was, "Ty isn't weird."
"I meant Mark," said Kit. There was an odd pause. "Ty isn't weird," Kit added. "He's just autistic." (pg. 63)

"Did you find something?"
"Have you ever wanted a really close-up look at a gross tentacle?" Emma asked.
"No," said Cristina.
"No one ever seems to say yes to that question."

Maybe he could frustrate the Shadowhunters by refusing to work out and sitting around eating carbs. I defy you, Shadowhunters, he thought, thumbing the top off the container and popping a cookie in his mouth. I mock you with my sugar cravings.

"Morning is probably in just a few hours. And if we don't have Energy runes, we'll have to get our energy the old-fashioned way."
Mark looked puzzled. "Drugs?"
"Chocolate," Emma said. "I brought chocolate. Mark, where do you even come up with these things."

"Who would ever want movies or TV when there are books?" said Ty with disdain.

"Magnus Bane," said Barnabas, with clear loathing. "The Ultimate Traitor."
"Not my favourite nickname," Magnus said, gently wriggling his fingers in Barnabas's direction. "I prefer 'Our Lord and Master' or maybe 'Unambiguously the Hottest'."

Kit didn't say anything -- he rarely complained. Mark suspected he was silently plotting to get even instead, possibly with everyone he'd ever met.

"I am so ready to hunt down those tiny adorable creatures and give them what for," said Emma. "SO READY."
"Emma..."
"I may even tie bows on their heads."
"WE have to interrogate them."
"Can I get a selfie with one of them first?"
"Eat your toast, Emma."

"Lex malla, lex nulla," said Julian with a regretful wave of his hand. It was the Blackthorn family motto: A bad law is no law.
"I wonder what other family mottoes there are," Emma mused. "Do you know any?"
"The Lightwood family motto is 'We mean well'."
"Very funny."
Julian looked over at her. "No, really, it actually is."
"Seriously? So what's the Herondale family motto? 'Chiseled but angsty'?"
HE shrugged. "'If you don't know what your last name is, it's probably Herondale'?"
Emma burst out laughing. "What about Carstairs?" she asked, tapping Cortana. "'We have a sword'? 'Blunt instruments are for losers'?"
"Morgernstern," offered Julian. "'When in doubt, start a war'?"
"How about 'Has even one of us ever been good, like ever, seriously'?"

"Why don't you just throw the sandwich?"
She looked horrified. "And give up the tasty cheese? I would never, ever give up the tasty cheese."

"I had never realised before how much you can take from someone by not allowing them the words they need to describe themselves. How can you know there are other people like you, when you've never had a name to call yourself?"

Emma set down her fork with a clang. "Pretentious hair prince is right."
Kieran blinked. "What did you call me?"
"I'm trying it out," Emma said, with a wave. "And I said you were right. Enjoy it, because I doubt I'll say it again."

“Fiction is truth, even if it is not a fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die.”

“Fiction is truth, even if it is not a fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die.”

“Because if you threw me away and everything we had, it had better be for something that meant more to you”

“I had never realized before how much you can take from someone by not allowing them the words they need to describe themselves.”

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

“Break my heart. Break it in pieces. I give you permission.”

“When a decision is made by the government it emboldens those who are already prejudiced to speak their deepest thoughts of hate. They assume they are simply brave enough to say what everyone really thinks.”

“Everyone is afraid of something. We fear things because we value them. We fear losing people because we love them. We fear dying because we value being alive. Don't wish you didn't fear anything. All that would mean is that you didn't feel anything.”

❝Emma, everyone's afraid of something. We fear things because we value them. We fear losing people because we love them. We fear dying because we value being alive. Don't wish you didn't fear anything. All that would mean is that you didn't feel anything.❞
