    Cassandra Clare
    “We came to see Jace. Is he alright?"
    "I don't know," Magnus said. "Does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “Even the trip throught the Portal had not disarranged Magnus's hair spikes. He tugged on one proudly. "Check it out", he said to Isabelle.
    "Magic?"
    "Hair gel. $3.99 at Ricky's.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    Cassandra Clare
    “Isabelle says the Queen of the Seelie Court has requested an audience with us."
    "Sure," said Magnus. "And Madonna wants me as a backup dancer on her next world tour."
    Alec looked puzzled. "Who's Madonna?"
    "Who's the Queen of the Seelie Court?" said Clary.
    "She is the Queen of Faerie," said Magnus. "Well, the local one, anyway."
    Jace put his head in his hands. "Tell Isabelle no."
    "But she thinks it's a good idea," Alec protested.
    "Then tell her no twice."
    Alec frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"
    "Oh, just that some of Isabelle's ideas are world-beaters and some are total disasters. Remember that idea she had about using abandoned subway tunnels to get around under the city? Talk about giant rats—"
    "Let's not," said Simon. "I'd rather not talk about rats at all, in fact.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “We are Nephilim; we fight our own battles."
    "That's not precisely true, is it?" said a velvety voice. It was Magnus Bane, wearing a long and glittering coat, multiple hoops in his ears, and a roguish expression. Clary had no idea where he'd come from. "You lot have used the help of warlocks on more than one occasion in the past, and paid handsomely for it too."
    Malachi scowled. "I don't remember the Clave inviting you into the Glass City, Magnus Bane."
    "They didn't," Magnus said. "Your wards are down."
    "Really?" the Consul's voice dripped sarcasm. "I hadn't noticed."
    Magnus looked concerned. "That's terrible. Someone should have told you." He glanced at Luke. "Tell him the wards are down.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “And second, keep in mind that you are a weapon. In theory, when you're done with training, you should be able to kick a hole in a wall or knock out a moose with a single punch."
    "I would never hit a moose," said Clary. "They're endangered.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

  • #6
    Cassandra Clare
    “Alec?" Magnus was staring at him. He had dispatched the remaining Iblis demons, and the square was empty but for the two of them. "Did you just- did you just save my life?"
    Alec knew he ought to say something like, Of course, because I'm a Shadowhunter and that's what we do, or That's my job. Jace would have said something like that. Jace always knew the right thing to say. But the words that actually came out of Alec's mouth where quite different- and sounded petulant, even to his own ears. "You never called me back," he said. "I called you so many times and you never called me back."
    Magnus looked at Alec as if he'd lost his mind. "Your city is under attack," he said. "The wards have broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven't called you?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    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

  • #8
    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

  • #9
    Cassandra Clare
    “Jace shook his blond head in exasperation.
    "You had to make a crazy jail friend, didn't you? You couldn't just count ceiling tiles or tame a pet mouse like normal prisoners do?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #10
    Cassandra Clare
    “If you ever meet the man who could take advantage of Isabelle, you’ll have to let me know. I’d like to shake his hand. Or run away from him very fast, I’m not sure which.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #11
    Cassandra Clare
    “I stabbed you. With a massive sword. You caught on fire."
    His lips twitched, almost imperceptibly. "Okay, so maybe our problems aren't like other couples.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    J.K. Rowling
    “Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business.
    Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git.
    Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor.
    Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

    J.K. Rowling
    “Don't talk to me."
    "Why not?"
    "Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret...”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

  • #14
    J.K. Rowling
    “How do you feel, Georgie?" whispered Mrs. Weasley.
    George's fingers groped for the side of his head.
    "Saintlike," he murmured.
    "What's wrong with him?" croaked Fred, looking terrified. "Is his mind affected?"
    "Saintlike," repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. "You see...I'm HOLEY, Fred, geddit?”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    J.K. Rowling
    “Why are they all staring?" demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.
    "Don’t let it worry you," said Ron. "It’s me. I’m extremely famous.”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    J.K. Rowling
    “Why were you lurking under our window?"
    "Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy?"
    "Listening to the news," said Harry in a resigned voice.
    His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.
    "Listening to the news! Again?"
    "Well, it changes every day, you see," said Harry.”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

  • #17
    J.K. Rowling
    “I don't think you should be an Auror, Harry," said Luna unexpectedly. Everybody looked at her. "The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They're working to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using a mixture of dark magic and gum disease.”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    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

  • #20
    Cassandra Clare
    “You're 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.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

  • #21
    Cassandra Clare
    “It's not gray," Clary felt compelled to point out. "It's green."
    "If there was such a thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood," said Jace.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #22
    Cassandra Clare
    “It's a coffee cup."
    She could hear the irritation in her own voice. "I know it's a coffee cup."
    "I can't wait till you draw something really complicated, like the Brooklyn Bridge or a lobster. You'll probably send me a singing telegram.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Look, you can date whoever you want and I will totally support you. I am all about support. Support is my middle name.”
    “So that’s why you never told me your middle name. I figured it was something embarrassing.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

  • #25
    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

    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

  • #27
    Cassandra Clare
    “Jordan doesn't really care about the blood," Simon said now. "His whole thing is about me being comfortable with what I am. Get in touch with your inner vampire, blah, blah."
    Clary slid in next to him onto the bed and hugged a pillow. "Is your inner vampire different from your...outer vampire?"
    "Definitely. He wants me to wear midriff-baring shirts and a fedora. I'm fighting it."
    Clary smiled faintly. "So your inner vampire is Magnus?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

  • #28
    Cassandra Clare
    “I’m really grateful to you for saving us, Maia, and Jace is too, even though he’s so stubborn that he’d rather jam a seraph blade through his eyeball than say so. And don’t you say you hope he does,” she added hastily, seeing the look on the other girl’s face, “because that’s really not helpful.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “What's that you're holding?" he asked, noticing the pamphlet, still rolled up in her left hand.

    "Oh, this?" She held it up. "How to Come Out to Your Parents."

    He widened his eyes. "Something you want to tell me?"

    "It's not for me. It's for you." She handed it to him.

    "I don't have to come out to my mother," said Simon. "She already thinks I'm gay because I'm not interested in sports and I haven't had a serious girlfriend yet. Not that she knows of, anyway."

    "But you have to come out as a vampire," Clary pointed out. "Luke thought you could, you know, use one of the suggested speeches in the pamphlet, except use the word 'undead' instead of--"

    "I get it, I get it." Simon spread the pamplet open. "Here, I'll practice on you." He cleared his throat. "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 the undead are just like you and me." Simon paused. "Well, okay. Possibly more like me than you."

    "SIMON."

    "All right, all right." He went on. "The first thing you need to understand is that I'm the same person I always was. Being undead isn't the most important thing about me. It's just part of who I am. The second thing you should know is that it isn't a choice. I was born this way." Simon squinted at her over the pamphlet. "Sorry, reborn this way.”
    Cassandra Clare
