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...

How easy it was to lose everything you had always thought you’d have forever.

Actually, she wasn’t a little girl at all, as it turns out, but a midget in a dress with a penchant for violence, who goes by the name of Six-Fingered Nigel.

Maybe that was why she couldn’t cry, she realized, staring dry-eyed at the ceiling. Because what was the point in crying when there was no one there to comfort you? And what was worse, when...

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...

Magnus hoped if he ever went mad like that himself, so mad that he poisoned the very air round him and hurt everyone he came into contact with, that there would be someone ho loved...

Vampires, fey folk, werewolves, Shadowhunters, and demons – these things made sense to Magnus. But the mundane world – it seemed to have no pattern, no form. Their quicksilver politics. Their short lives…

Woolsey bites on occasion

Did you ever think that in a past life Alec was an old woman with ninety cats who was always yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off her lawn? Because I do,

I shall charm him with such force that when I am done, he will be left lying limply on the ground, trying to remember his own name.

Change is no loss, Will. Not always.

If love is great, then it is worth fighting for.

To his children, Will showed the same love he had always shown to her, fierce and unyielding. And the same protectiveness he had only ever showed to one other person: the person James had been...

Wo men shi jie bai xiong di-we are more than brothers, Will.

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...

Hey,” said Jace. who was sitting on an overturned speaker, looking at his cellphone, “do you want to see a photo of Alec and Magnus in Berlin?””Not really,” said Simon. “Magnus is wearing lederhosen.””And yet,...

You’re a public menace. You shouldn’t be allowed out on your own.

I need a bodyguard.”Simon eyed him. “Have you been watching The Bodyguard? Because I am not going to fall in love with you and carry you around in my burly arms.

Isabelle. Simon’s mouth moved to form the shape of her name, pressing it into his pillow. He’d told himself he wasn’t going to think about her, not until he was really getting somewhere in the...
