I’ve never felt so… light.

Isabelle.It was always Isabelle.

The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop.

What’s the word for a perfectly reasonable fear of annoying idiots?” inquired Jessamine.

You don’t get to decide,” she said, “where I go, or when.””I know.” His voice was ragged. “I’ve always known that about you. I don’t know why I had to fall in love with someone...

I know that.

Oh, come on, Jace,” Clary said. “You can’t wait for perfect behavior from everyone. Adults screw up too. Go back to the Institute and talk to her rationally. Be a man.””I don’t want to be...

She moves fast.

Clary’s eyes widened. She wondered if she was about to be broken up with. If so, she would have a thing or two to say to Jace about his timing, after she drowned him in...

Ljubav ne funkcionira tako.Ne možeš je zatvoriti kao slavinu.

To be together at all. Because otherwise we can’t ever be around each other, not evenjust in the same room, and I can’t stand that. I’d rather have you in my life even as abrother...

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.

But Magnus, he thought. You never told me. Never warned me it would be like this, that I would wake up one day and realize that I was going somewhere you couldn’t follow. That we...

Do you really wish to disobey me, Marbas? Do you wish to anger my father?

This is the deepest wish of my heart?””Sure,” Magnus said.”Your father, proud of you. You, the hero of the hour. Me, loving you. Everyone approving of you.”Alec looked over at Jace.”Okay, what about the Jace...

With a sigh of relief, Clary glanced back over her shoulder. Magnus was standing at the door to the cottage, his arms folded across his chest. Catching her eye, he grinned and dropped one eyelid...

Hello,” Magnus said to the monkey. The monkey did not reply. “I shall call you Ragnor.

Magnus had learned to be careful about giving his memories with his heart. When people died, it felt like all the pieces of yourself you had given to them went as well. It took so...

Will looked horrified. “What kind of monster could possibly hate chocolate?

It’s too late,” she said.”Don’t say that.” His voice was half a whisper. “I love you, Tessa. I love you.

Dear God, I thought she was marrying Gideon. I take it all back.

Father . . . ,” Gabriel began. “Father is a worm.”Will gave a short laugh. He was in gear as if he had just come from the practice room, and his hair curled damply against...

Your honorable father has been impugned. Attack, attack!

–,No te importa siquiera a dónde voy? –dijo él. –,Qué si estoy yendo al Infierno? –Siempre quise ver el Infierno, –dijo Cecily con calma. –,No lo quiere todo el mundo? –La mayoría de nosotros pasamos...

It was good to be here with Jem and Cecily an Charlotte, to be surrounded by their affection, but without her there would always be something missing, a Tessa-shaped part chiseled out of his heart...

If I might ask–,” she began.Will sighed. “You know you’ll ask whether I say it’s all right or not.

Isabelle waved a hand. “No need to worry, big brother. Nothing happened. Of course,” she added as Alex’a shoulders relaxed, “I was totally passed-out drunk, so he could really have done whatever he wanted and...

One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, four for a birth, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret that’s never been told. ~ Simon

The Law is hard, but it’s the Law,” Simon added in disgust. “So freaking what? If the Law is wrong, why not change it? Do you know what the world would look like if we...

I hate it when straight guys think all gay guys are attracted to them. I’m not attracted to every guy any more than you’re attracted to every girl.

Yech,” said Simon.”Don’t ‘yech’ me. You’re the one with the magical spit.

Isabelle looked at him thoughtfully. “Did you seriously jump thirty feet out of a Malachi Configuration? Did he, Alec?””He did,” Alec confirmed. “I’ve never seen anything like it.””I’ve never seen anything like this.” Jace lifted...

Ne.Ja imam visok prag boli.U biti to i nije toliko prag,koliko veliko i lijepo uređeno predvorje.Ali brzo mi postane dosadno.

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...

Hey baby, guess where my warlock mark is?Never works. Trust me. Never works.

We are not our parents, Gabriel. We do not have to carry the burden of their choices or their sins.

Isabelle snorted. “All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you , Simon.””You noticed.” said Simon.”I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual,” added Magnus.”Please never say those words in front of...

Especially the ones in Hyde Park.

Now very much against her will, she thought of the way Jace had looked at her then, the blaze of faith in his eyes, his belief in her. He had always thought she was strong....

Clary shut her eyes. You didn’t say no to an angel, no matter what it had in mind. Her heart pounding, she sat floating in the darkness behind her eyelids, resolutely trying not to think...

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?

Also, I’m sleeping with your mom. Just thought you should know.

You didn’t have to come after me.””Yes, I did,” he said. “You’re far too inexperienced to protect yourself in a hostile situation without me.””That’s sweet. Maybe I’ll forgive you.””Forgive me? Fro what?””Fro telling me to...

Everything changes in my life, and the world stays the same.

Other crack teams get bat boomerangs and wall-climbing powers; we get Aquatruck.

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 not, but I don’t think it matters. Either way we’re...

Surely, she was too young to have so many ghosts.

Tobias loved her more than he’d loved anything—his family, his duty, even himself. There, perhaps, the Herondale blood ran true.

What if everything you believe is wrong and you could still be loved and still be forgiven?

You ought to eat something.” (Simon)”Look who’s talking.” (Jace)”I’m out of blood right now,” (Simon)”Unless you’re offering.” (Simon)”No, thanks. We’ve been down that road before, and I think we’re better off asjust friends.” (Jace)
