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

    Cassandra Clare
    “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, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “Don't." Clary raised a warning hand. "I'm not really in the mood right now."
    "That's got to be the first time a girl's ever said that to me," Jace mused.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Don't stop there. I suppose there are also, what, vampires and werewolves and zombies?"
    "Of course there are. Although you mostly find zombies farther south, where the voudun priests are."
    "What about mummies? Do they only hang around Egypt?"
    "Don't be ridiculous. No one believes in mummies.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Even in half demon hunter clothes, Clary thought, he looked like the kind of boy who'd come over your house to pick you up for a date and be polite to your parents and nice to your pets.
    Jace on the other hand, looked like the kind of boy who'd come over your house and burn it down just for kicks.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Clary felt suddenly annoyed. "When the self-congratulatory part of the evening is over, maybe we could get back to saving my best friend from being exsanguinated to death?"
    "Exsanguinated," said Jace, impressed. "That's a big word."
    "And you're a big-"
    "Tsk tsk," he interupted. "No swearing in church.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “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. Her hand cracked across his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put a hand to his cheek, more in surprise than pain. "What the hell was that for?"
    The other ten percent," she said, and they rode the rest of the way down to the street in silence.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “The rat, huddled in the hollow of her palms, squeaked glumly. Delighted, she hugged him to her chest. "Oh poor baby," she crooned, almost as if he really were a pet. "Poor Simon, it'll be fine, I promise-"
    "I wouldn't feel too sorry for him," Jace said. "That's probably the closest he's ever gotten to second base."
    "Shut up!" Clary glared at Jace furiously, but she did loosen her grip on the rat.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #10
    Cassandra Clare
    “You're my sister," he said finally. "My sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you" - he laughed soundlessly and without any humor - "to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what I want to do."
    Clary's breath caught. "You said you just wanted to be my brother from now on."
    "I lied," he said.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #11
    Cassandra Clare
    “Just because you said dragon demons were extinct—"
    "I said mostly extinct."
    Alec jabbed a finger toward him.
    "Mostly extinct," he said, his voice trembling with rage, "is NOT
    EXTINCT ENOUGH."
    "I see," said Jace. "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?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “Well, when I was five, I wanted my mother to let me go around and around inside a dryer with the clothes,” Clary said. “The difference is, she didn’t let me.”
    “Probably because going around and around in a dryer can be fatal,” Jace pointed out, “whereas pasta is rarely fatal. Unless Isabelle makes it.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “This time Magnus answered it, his voice booming through the tiny entryway. "WHO DARES DISTURB MY REST?"
    Jace looked almost nervous. "Jace Wayland. Remember? I'm from the Clave."
    "Oh, yes." Magnus seemed to have perked up. "Are you the one with the blue eyes?"
    "He means Alec," Clary said helpfully.
    "No. My eyes are usually described as golden," Jace told the intercom. "And luminous."
    "Oh, you're that one." Magnus sounded disappointed. If Clary hadn't been so upset, she would have laughed. "I suppose you'd better come up.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Look, I asked you here for a reason. Much as I hate to admit it, vampire, we have something in common."
    "Totally awesome hair?" Simon suggested.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “I'm glad you think this is funny."
    "You're not happy to see me, then?" Jace asked. "I have to say, I'm surprised. I've always been told my presence brightened up any room. One might think that went doubly for dank underground cells.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #16
    Cassandra Clare
    “But that's not what you said when she walked into the room," said Simon quietly. "You said, 'Why didn't you ever tell me I had a brother?'"
    "I know." Clary yanked a blade of grass out of the dirt, worrying it between her fingers. "I guess I can't help thinking that if I'd known the truth, I wouldn't have met Jace the way I did. I wouldn't have fallen in love with him."
    Simon was silent for a moment. "I don't think I've ever heard you say that before."
    "That I love him?" She laughed, but it sounded dreary even to her ears. "Seems useless to pretend like I don't, at this point. Maybe it doesn't matter. I probably won't ever see him again, anyway."
    "He'll come back."
    "Maybe."
    "He'll come back," Simon said again. "For you.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “Yeah, well, you clearly also couldn't be bothered to call me and tell me you were shacking up with some dyed-blond wanna-be goth you probably met at Pandemonium. After I spent the past three days wondering if you were dead."
    "I was not shacking up," Clary said, glad of the darkness as the blood rushed to her face.
    "And my hair is naturally blond," said Jace. "Just for the record."
    Simon, Clary, and Jace, pg. 115”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “But you've never drunk fresh blood. Have you?"
    Simon raised his eyebrows in response.
    "Well, aside from mine, of course," Jace said. "And I'm sure my blood is fan-tastic.
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #19
    Cassandra Clare
    “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

  • #20
    Cassandra Clare
    “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

  • #21
    Cassandra Clare
    “And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?"
    "A long one?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #23
    Cassandra Clare
    “Don't order any of the faerie food," said Jace, looking at her over the top of his menu. "It tends to make humans a little crazy. One minute you're munching a faerie plum, the next minute you're running naked down Madison Avenue with antlers on your head. Not," he added hastily, "that this has ever happened to me.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #24
    Cassandra Clare
    “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.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #25
    Cassandra Clare
    “I was thinking about the first time I ever saw you," he said, "and how after that I couldn't forget you. I wanted to, but I couldn't stop myself. I forced Hodge to let me be the one who came to find you and bring you back to the Institue. 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. I'd always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and not wanted her anymore, but with you the feeling just got stronger and stronger until that night when you showed up at Renwick's and I knew.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #26
    Cassandra Clare
    “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, City of Lost Souls

  • #27
    Cassandra Clare
    “Still I pictured having you for fifty, sixty more years. I thought I might be ready then to let you go. But it's you, and I realize now that I won't be anymore ready to lose you then than I am right now. Which is not at all.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

  • #28
    Cassandra Clare
    “You left me. You made a pet out of me, and then you left me. If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

  • #29
    Cassandra Clare
    “He grinned. It was a wicked grin, the kind that made the blood in Clary's veins run a little faster. "You want to go on a date?"
    Caught off guard, she stammered. "A wh-what?"
    "A date," Jace repeated. "Often 'a boring thing you have to memorize in history class,' but in this case, 'an offering of an evening of blisteringly white-hot romance with yours truly."
    "Really?" Clary was not sure what to make of this. "Blisteringly white-hot?"
    "It's me," said Jace. "Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

  • #30
    Cassandra Clare
    “I've got the Mark of Cain," said Simon. "That means nothing can kill me, right?"
    "You can kill yourself," Magnus said, somewhat unhelpfully. "As far as I know, inanimate objects can accidentally kill you. So if you were planning on teaching yourself the lambada on a greased platform over a pit full of knives, I wouldn't."
    "There goes my Saturday.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls
