    “Patch stood over me, and a drop of rain slid from his hair, landing like ice on my collarbone. I felt it slide along my skin, disappearing beneath the neckline of my shirt. His eyes followed the raindrop, and I began to quiver on the inside.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo

    “I watched him pitch the ball at a table neatly lined with six bowling pins, my stomach giving a little flutter when his T-shirt crept up in the back, revealing a stripe of skin. I knew from experience that every inch of him was hard, defined muscle. His back was smooth and perfect too, the scars from when he’d fallen once again replaced with wings—wings I, and every other human, couldn’t see.

    “Five dollars says you can’t do it again,” I said, coming up behind him.

    Patch looked back and grinned. “I don’t want your money, Angel.”

    “Hey now, kids, let’s keep this discussion PG-rated,” Rixon said.

    “All three remaining pins,” I challenged Patch.

    “What kind of prize are we talking about?” he asked.

    “Bloody hell,” Rixon said. “Can’t this wait until you’re alone?”

    Patch gave me a secret smile, then shifted his weight back, cradling the ball into his chest. He dropped his right shoulder, brought his arm around, and sent the ball flying forward as hard as he could. There was a loud crack! and the remaining three pins scattered off the table.

    “Aye, now you’re in trouble, lass,” Rixon shouted at me over the commotion caused by a pocket of onlookers, who were clapping and whistling for Patch. Patch leaned back against the booth and arched his eyebrows at me. The gesture said it all: Pay up.

    “You got lucky,” I said.

    “I’m about to get lucky.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo

    “Patch's eyes were slate black, darker than a million secrets stacked on top of each other. He dropped his gaze to the ring in his hand, turning it over slowly.

    "Swear you'll never stop loving me," I whispered.

    Ever so slightly, he nodded.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo

    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

    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

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

    Cassandra Clare
    “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

  • #8
    Cassandra Clare
    “And I'm suppose to sit by while you date boys and fall in love with someone else, get married...?" His voice tightened. "And meanwhile, I'll die a little bit more every day, watching.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #9
    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
    “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

    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

  • #12
    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

  • #13
    Cassandra Clare
    “Can I help you with something?"
    Clary turned instant traitor against her gender. "Those girls on the other side 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

  • #14
    Cassandra Clare
    “The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    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
    “It wouldn't be my move," Jace agreed. "First the candy and flowers, then the apology letters, then the ravenous demon hordes. In that order.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “You guessed? You must have been pretty sure, considering you could have killed me."
    "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 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

    Cassandra Clare
    “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

    “The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw Jace shoot her a look of white rage - but when she glanced at him, he looked as he always did: easy, confident, slightly bored.
    "In future, Clarissa," he said, "it might be wise to mention that you already have a man in your bed, to avoid such tedious situations."
    "You invited him into bed?" Simon demanded, looking shaken.
    "Ridiculous, isn't it?" said Jace. "We would never have all fit."
    "I didn't invite him into bed," Clary snapped. "We were just kissing."
    "Just kissing?" Jace's tone mocked her with its false hurt. "How swiftly you dismiss our love.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #22
    Cassandra Clare
    “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. I've been thinking about you all the time."
    "I've been thinking about you, too."
    "I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know."
    "I know. Everytime you almost die, I almost die myself.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    “No more rhymes now I mean it!”

    “Anybody want a peanut?”

    “AAHH!”
    William Goldman, The Princess Bride

    Cassandra Clare
    “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

    “Being with you never felt wrong. It's the one thing I did right. You're the one thing I did right.”

    “You're mine, Angel," he murmured, brushing the words across my jawbone as I arched my neck higher, inviting him to kiss everywhere. "You have me forever.”

    “I hung my fingertips on his waistband, tugging him closer.
    Patch buried his face in the curve of my shoulder, his hands flexing over my back. He gave a low groan.
    "I love you," he murmured into my hair. "I'm happier right now than I ever remember being.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo

    Becca Fitzpatrick
    “Patch reached for my hand and pushed my dad's ring off the tip of his finger and into my palm, curling my fingers around it. He kissed my knuckles. "I was going to give this back earlier, but it wasn't finished."

    I opened my palm and held the ring up. The same heart was engraved on the underside, but now there were two names carved on either side of it: NORA and JEV.

    I looked up. "Jev? That's your real name?"

    "Nobody's called me that in a long time.”
    Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo
