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 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...

Mothers,lock up your daughters, then lock up your maidservants, then lock up yourselves. Lord Montgomery is on the prowl

Tea. I find that both settles the stomach and concentrates the mind. Wonderful drink, tea.

Look. Jammies.

We have a name,” said Jace. “Magnes B-“”Shut up.” Alec hissed, thwacking Jace with his closed menu. Jace looked injured.”Jesus,” he rubbed his arm. “What’s your problem?

I do not believe you can threaten people into goodness.” – Jem Carstairs

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

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.
