All my life, since I came to the Institute, you were the mirror of my soul. I saw the good in me in you. In your eyes alone I found grace. When you are gone from me, who will see me like that?

Jem’s knees gave out, and he sank to the trunk at the foot of his bed, still playing. He played Will breathing the name Cecily, and he played himself watching the glint of his own ring on Tessa’s hand on the train from York, knowing it was all a charade, knowing, too, that he wished...

Jordan slammed the coatrack down on the ground and sighed. “if you were a vampire, this would have been a lot more useful.””yes,” said jace. “or, you know, just someone with a lot of coats.

Sed lex, dura lex

And Jessamine-Jessamine was gazing at her in abject horror, like someone who has seen a vision of their own ghost. For a moment Tessa felt a stab of guilt.It lasted only a moment, though. Slowly Jessamine lowered her hand from her mouth, her face still very pale. “Goodness, my nose is enormous,” she exclaimed. “Why...

For that was love, wasnt it–to burn bright in someone else’s eyes?

The Queen gave him a look: special and secretive and shared between the two of them.You warned her about us, the look seemed to say.That we would hurt her, break her as you might break a twig between your fingers. But you, who thought you could not be touched — you are the one who...

Sometimes when she looks at him that way he finds himself almost blushing; a feeling so strange he almost doesn’t recognize it. Jace Wayland doesn’t blush.

One minute you’re munching on 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.

Look. Jammies.

Unpleasant?” he finished for her.”Only on the days when my adoptive mother tosses me out of the house with instructions never to darken her door again. Usually, I’m remarkably good-natured. Try me on any day that doesn’t end in y.

Mother.” Alec’s voice as he interrupted his mother was firm, implacable, and notunkind. “Father. There’s something I have to tell you.” He smiled at them. “I’m seeing someone.”Robert Lightwood looked at his son with some exasperation. “Alec,” he said.”This is hardly the time.””Yes, it is. This is important. You see, I’m not just seeing anyone.”...

He taught me there’s a place on a man’s back where, if you sink a blade in, you can pierce his heart and sever his spine, all at once,’ Sebastian had said. ‘I guess we got the same birthday present that year, big brother,’ Jace thought. ‘Didn’t we?

Magnus glanced at Alec and raised his eyebrows “Boo”, he said. Jace was grinning. “Come on,surely you’ve got a phobia or two. What scares you?” Alec thought for a moment. “Spiders,” he said. Clary turned to Luke. “Have you got a spider anywhere?”Luke looked exasperated. “Why would I have a spider? Do I look like...

I don’t hate you, Jace.””I don’t hate you, either.”She looked up at him, relieved. “I’m glad to hear that—””I wish I could hate you,” he said. His voice was light, his mouth curved in an unconcerned half smile, his eyes sick with misery. “I want to hate you. I try to hate you. It would...

I don’t deserve either her love or this illness. That’s a stupid thing though. Things happen whether you deserve them or not.

Good idea. If you’re going to take on a lair of vampires by yourself, you’d better pray first.

How swiftly you dismiss our love…

Jace laughed, that soft rich sound Clary loved so much. “I’m warning you, that jacket is sexy. The Institute could go up in sexy, sexy flames.

It’s just that you never heard me.

Moj je otac uvijek govorio da je sigurnije biti daleko od ljudi.

Knjige.Mnogo čitam kad sam sam.

No one manages Will.

Whither thou goest, I will go;Where thou diest, will I dieAnd there will I be buried:The Angel do so to me, and more also,If aught but death part thee and me.

Demon pox. There’s always demon pox.

They already think it, so what’s the difference, really?

Dear God, woman,”said Will. “Are there any questions you don’t want to know the answer to?

About twenty paces behind us, in the Council room, is Benedict. If you’d like to go back in there and try kicking him, I recommend aiming upward and a bit to the left—

Well, you needn’t act as if I invented it,” said Will.

I am catastrophically in love with you.

There are more important things than being careful

All of us lost something. Some of us lost everything.

As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.

Yeeeees, tell me eeeeeverything.” I was Marked by a very cute boy with terrible impulse control. I don’t remember because I was basically unconscious but everyone was mad at him when I woke up. The end, love Clary.

People were intrinsically selfish, and many hated the idea of a woman in charge of the Institute. They would not put themselves at risk for her. Only a few weeks ago he would have said the same thing about himself. Now, knowing Charlotte, he realized to his surprise, the idea of risking himself for her...

Zhe shi jie shang, wo shi zui ai ne de. In all the world, you are what I love the most.

Thank you, Codex, because I didn’t know what a knife was.

Tell me about mummies.Mummies exist. The Egyptians mummified people. Mummies that get up out of their cursed tombs and walk around do not exist.Do cursed tombs exist?No. Sometimes you get a tomb guarded by a demon.Zombies?The voudun kind, yes – the braaaaaaaiiiiinnnnnsss kind, no.Oh, oh, I’ve got one. What about a haunted car?Do you count...

—Jem es la mejor parte de mí. —Entonces, ,qué soy yo? —Eres mi debilidad. —Y Tessa es tu corazón.

We will stand bravely with you! Malcolm announced. Catarina looked darkly at him, and he quailed. Well, we will stand bravely near you. Or at least within earshot. Maia gave him a hard look. So no guarantees, basically? Malcolm shrugged. Warlocks are independent. And hard to get hold of. Like cats, but with fewer tails....

I have not stopped loving her, nor my parabatai; love does not stop when someone dies.

Not forever, Tessa thought. They had a long, long time. A lifetime. His lifetime. And she would lose him one day, as she had lost Will, and her heart would break, as it had broken before. And she would put herself back together and go on, because the memory of having had Jem would be...

Magnus didn’t really want this kind of thing this early in the morning – this talk of aching memories and wanting to forget. This conversation needed to end, now.

You could know a man not by what his friends said about him, but by how he treated his servants.

You know,” Cecily said, “you really didn’t have to throw that man through the window.””He wasn’t a man,” Gabriel said, scowling. “He was an Unseelie Court faerie. One of the nasty ones.””Is that why you chased him down the street?””He had no business showing images like that to a lady,” Gabriel muttered, though it had...

Why can’t I go to Idris with you, then?Because it’s not safe for you thereO and it’s safe for me here? I’ve been nearly killed almost a dozen times in the past month.That’s because Valentine has been concentrating on the two Mortal Instruments that were here. He’s going to shift his focus to Idris now....

You really want to know what else it was my mom said about you?” he asked.She shook her head.He didn’t seem to notice. “She said you’d break my heart,” he told her, and left.

La belle Isabelle

Now this,’ said Jace, ‘is a situation.

Ugh,” he said after a few swallows. “Dead blood.” Jace’s eyebrows went up. ” Isn’t all blood dead?” “The longer the animal whose blood I’m drinking has been dead, the worse the blood tastes,” Simon explained. “Fresh is better.” “But you’ve never drunk fresh blood. Have you?” Simon raised his own eyebrows in response. “Well,...
