Let me say to you what I said once, in an entirely different context to Catherine the Great,” Magnus declared. “My dear lady, you cannot afford me,and also, please leave that horse alone. Good night.

That was what humans did: They left on another messages through time, pressed between pages or carved into rock. Like reaching out a hand through time, and trusting in a phantom hoped-for hand to catch...

Usually I’m remarkably good natured. Try me on a day that doesn’t end in y.

Will has always been the brighter burning star, the one to catch attention — but Jem is a steady flame, unwavering and honest. He could make you happy.

Probably all poisoned by parsnips,” said Will.

He played of love and loss and years of silence, words unsaid and vows unspoken, and all the spaces between his heart and theirs; and when he was done, and he’d set the violin back...

Just when it was getting interesting, too.” And he leaped into the water after his friend.

Will: “You are not really dying, are you?” Jem: “So they tell me.” Will: “I am sorry.” Jem: “No. Don’t be ordinary like that. Don’t say you’re sorry. Say you’ll train with me.” Will: “I’ll...

Algunas veces uno tiene que elegir entre ser amable y honorable, –dijo. –A veces no se puede ser las dos.

Will: ‘Singing the praises of our fair city? We treat you well here, don’t we, James? I doubt I’d have that kind of luck in Shanghai. What do you call us there again?’Jem: ‘Yang guizi...

So basically you’re threatening to turn me into something you can sprinkle on popcorn if I don’t do what you say?

I screwed her over. I didn’t want to see her screwed over by someone else.

None of this is fair. It isn’t fair that part of your life was ripped from you. It’s not fair that you were ripped away from me. I’m so angry Simon.

Simon would have felt both honored and love, except mostly he felt weird, because he had only a few broken fragments of memory that said he knew these people at all, and a whole lifetime...

Simon grinned. “You’ve never heard of Dungeons and Dragons?””I’ve heard of dungeons,” Jace said. “Also dragons. Although they’re mostly extinct.

I got the wrong window at first. Gave your friend in the next cell something of a shock. Attractive fellow, what with the beard and the rags. Kind of reminds me of the street folk...

Oči su joj bile pune nesigurnosti.U njemu se uskomeša nepoznat poriv:poriv da je zagrli i kaže joj da je sve u redu.Nije to učinio.Prema njegovu iskustvu,stvari su rijetko kada bile u redu.

How rude. Many who have gazed upon me have compared the experience to gazingat the radiance of the sun.”Jem still had his eyes closed. “If they mean it gives you a headache, they aren’t wrong.

The figure in the doorway ducked; the brick hit the wall, and Luke straightened up and looked at her curiously. I hope when we’re married, that’s not the way you greet me every day when...

One can love two children. But your heart can be given romantic love to only a single other, said Woolsey.

Henry,” said Charlotte, who appeared to have recovered from her shock, “if you set yourself on fire deliberately, I will institute divorce proceedings. Now sit down and eat your supper. And say hello to our...

I am dramatic,” said Will. “If i had not been a Shadowhunter, i would have had a future on the stage.

She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?

Investigation?” Isabelle laughed. “Now we’re detectives? Maybe we should all have code names.””Good idea,” said Jace. “I shall be Baron Hotschaft Von Hugenstein.

I don’t do what I’m told, but I might do what you want if you ask me nicely.

I can’t believe he didn’t have the dignity and presence of mind just to get drunk and pass out in some gutter,” said Jace. “I must say, I’m disappointed in the little fellow.

What?” Jace was still staring at her as if she’d told him she’d found one of the Silent Brothers doing nude cartwheels in the hallway.

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.

Jace said that the cast of Gilligan’s Island could do something anatomically unlikely with themselves.

Shapes began to appear in the mist as it thickened. Clary saw herself and Simon as children, holding hands, crossing a street in Brooklyn,; she had barrettes in her hair and Simon was adorably rumpled,...

Tessa: Are all vampires like that? Cold like that?Charlotte: Many of them have been alive a long time. They don’t see things the way we do.

Whatever you are physically…male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy–all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those...

I knew a girl, once, immortal like me-“”And she was with someone mortal?” said Alec. “What happened?””He died,” Magnus said. There was a finality to the way he said it that spoke of a deeper...

The funny thing about mundies,” Jace said, to nobody in particular, “is how obsessed with magic they are for a bunch of people who don’t even know what the word means.”I know what it means,”...

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.

Yes…and I’m worried that if you get into the habit of making out with your instructors, you’ll wind up making out with him too.””Don’t be sexist. They could find me a female instructor.””In that case,...

Magnus reached for Alec, but instead of rising to his feet, he pulled Alec against him, his hand sliding up Alec’s back to knot in his hair. Magnus pulled Alec down and against him, and...

If you insist on disavowing that which is ugly about what you do,” said Magnus, still looking at Alec, “you will never learn from your mistakes.

Clary, Despite everything, I can’t bear the thought of this ring being lost forever, any more then I can bear the thought of leaving you forever. And though I have no choice about the one,...

Isabelle and Jace had left the topic of dead Shadowhunters behind and had moved on to something Jace apparently found even more horrifying__Isabelle’s date with Simon.”I can’t believe he took you to an actual restaurant.”...

But how do they get inside?””They fly,” Jace said, and indicated the upper floors of the building.[…]”We don’t fly,” Clary felt impelled to point out.”No,” Jace agreed. “We don’t fly. We break and enter.” He...

My heart is your heart,” he said. “My hands are your hands.

Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort.

You had — so much love, and so much forgiveness, and so much faith. So I started to think that maybe I was worth that faith. That I didn’t have to be perfect; I had...

Alec remembers my name,” said Simon, and he set the bottle back down.

Shouldn’t we stand back to back or something?” “What? Why?” “I don’t know. In movies that’s what they do in this kind of… situation.

Those of you who are mortal, you burn so fiercely. And you fiercer than most, Will. I will not ever forget you.”.

I am brave,” Will said…”Yes, you are,” Magnus said, and kissed him. It wasn’t the most dramatic kiss, but Will failed his free arm as if a bee had landed on him; Magnus had to...

The Clave would let you do anything you wanted. Look, everyone loves you.” He gestured out at the room full of Shadowhunters. They were all cheering as Robert spoke, some of them wiping away tears....

Magnus, remember what happened the last time you tried to tango. Your shoe flew off and nearly killed someone.””It was a metaphor. He’s a Shadowhunter, he’s a Lightwood, and he’s into blonds. He’s a dating...
