    Cassandra Clare
    “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?" asked Jace.

    "I knew we should have left you a rat.”

    “Well, I’m not kissing the mundane," said Jace. "I’d rather stay down here and rot."

    “You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me."

    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

  • #9
    Cassandra Clare
    “Clary screamed out loud as he fell like a stone-
    And landed lightly on his feet just in front of her. Clary stared with her mouth open as he rose up out of a shallow crouch and grinned at her. "If I made a joke about just dropping in," he said, "would you write me off as a cliché?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “I get the feeling," Alec said, and smiled, "she hasn't forgiven me for betraying you, as she sees it."

    "I didn't betray you, idiot."
    "It's the thought that counts.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #11
    Cassandra Clare
    “Jace slammed his hand down on the stele. “Clary-“
    “She said she doesn’t want it,” said Simon. “Ha-ha.”
    “Ha-ha?” Jace looked incredulous. “That’s your comeback?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #13
    Cassandra Clare

    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #14
    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

  • #15
    Cassandra Clare
    “Romanian? That's impressive," said Jace. "Not many people speak it."
    "Do you?" Sebastian asked with interest.
    "Not really," Jace said with a smile so disarming Simon knew he was lying. "My Romanian is pretty much limited to useful phrases like, 'Are these snakes poisonous?' and 'But you look much too young to be a police officer.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #16
    Cassandra Clare
    “And when I saw him lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, Clary, and there might be not. Either way, we're on our own.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #17
    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

  • #18
    Cassandra Clare
    “Yes," Jace said, "I regret having disobeyed you."
    No! Clary thought, but her heart sank. Was he giving up, did he think it was the only way to save her and Simon?
    Valentine's face softened. "Jonathan-"
    "Especially," Jace said, "since I plan to do it again. Right now.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #19
    Cassandra Clare
    “It doesn't hurt."
    "But my eyes do," said a coolly amused voice from the doorway. Jace. He had come in so quietly that even Simon hadn't heard him; closing the door behind him, he grinned as Isabelle pulled Simon's shirt down. "Molesting the vampire while he's too weak to fight back, Iz?" he asked. "I'm pretty sure that violates at least one of the Accords."
    "I'm just showing him where he got stabbed," Isabelle protested, but she scooted back to her chair with a certain amount of haste.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #20
    Cassandra Clare
    “I'm not an angel, Jace," she repeated. "I don't return library books. I steal illegal music off the internet. I lie to my mom. I am completely ordinary.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #21
    Cassandra Clare
    “You don't believe me?" Jace asked. "Fine. Go ahead. Kiss me right now."
    Alec stared at him in horror.
    "Exactly. Despite my staggering good lucks, you actually don't like me that way.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #22
    Cassandra Clare
    “This could be the last night of our lives, certainly the last even barely ordinary one. The last night we go to sleep and get up just as we always have. And all I could think of was that I wanted to spend it with you."
    Her heart skipped a beat. "Jace-"
    "I don't mean it like that," he said. "I won't touch you, not if you don't want me to. I know it's wrong - God, it's all kinds of wrong - but I just want to lie down with you and wake up with you, just once, just once ever in my life." There was desperation in his voice. "It's just this one night. In the grand scheme of things, how much can this one night matter?"
    ...There was nothing she had ever wanted in her life more than she wanted this night with Jace.
    "Close the curtains, then, before you come to bed," she said. "I can't sleep with this much light in the room.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #23
    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

  • #24
    Cassandra Clare
    “He hadn't spoken a word since they'd left the manor except to snap out directions, telling her which way to turn at a fork in the road, or ordering her to skirt a pothole. Even then she doubted if he would have minded much if she'd fallen into the pothole, except that it would have slowed them down.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #25
    Cassandra Clare
    “I don't want to be a man," said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead."
    "Well," said Luke, "you're doing a fantastic job.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #26
    Cassandra Clare
    “Jesus!" Luke exclaimed.
    "Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling.”
    Cassandra Clare

  • #27
    Cassandra Clare
    “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."
    "Meaning you?"
    "What else?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #28
    Cassandra Clare
    “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

  • #29
    Cassandra Clare
    “Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #30
    Cassandra Clare
    “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 tomorrow. 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, City of Bones
