But I do.

There are no other relatives. You and I, we are the last. The last of the Morgensterns. You are the only one left whose blood runs in my veins, too. You are my last chance.

He seems to like you. I saw him going for your hand out there like a squirrel diving for a peanut.

But the person who stepped out of the front door was tall and thin, with short, spiky dark hair. he was wearing a gold mesh vest and a pair of silk pajama pants. He regarded...

Heroes aren’t always the ones who win. They’re the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don’t give up. That’s what makes them heroes.

Wait a second. Do you think that„s likely to be required?

As far as I’m concerned, this is the worst thing that’s happened since I found out why Magnus was banned from Peru.

It’s Simon. He’s missing.””Ah,” said Magnus, delicately, “missing what, exactly?””Missing,” Jace repeated, “as in gone, absent, notable for his lack of presence, disappeared.””Maybe he’s gone and hidden under something,” Magnus suggested. “It can’t be easy...

Niches set back in the walls contained polished marble statues of entwined bodies. Will looked away from them hastily, and then back. It wasn’t as if Magnus seemed to be paying attention to what Will...

Magnus raised his head and looked up and over at Alec; it was a look that made Clary flush and glance away. There was so much love in it, mixed with exasperation and pride and...

But I don’t believe I see Valentine Morgenstern. I hear he has charisma enough to draw birds out of trees and convince them to live under the sea, is tall, devastatingly handsome, and has white-blond...

No matter what the price offered, no Downworlder would fail to listen to a warning against one of the nephilim.

Because Valentine is just WAY MORE AWESOME than me,

Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you’ll kill me?””No” Simon said, “If you hurt Clary she’s quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons.

…We die, we turn, we are reborn as we deserve to be reborn, based on our doings in this world.” Will looked down at his bitten nails. “I will probably be reborn as a slug...

Heroes endure because we need them. Not for their own sakes. If Will …

Jem is my greatest sin.

I mean, is there a chance for me? To have another life after this, a better one?

Those are the words of the oath. ‘Untilaught but death part thee and me.’ Someday, Will, I will go where none canfollow me, and I think it will be sooner rather than later.

It is a very strange thing, to be in love. It changes you.

His blue eyes were very dark…Will’s were the colour of the sky just on the edge of the night…

Oh, good. You’re starting to talk about yourself in the third person. That’s not a sign of impending megalomania or anything.

That’s right. Act like I rejected you. It’s not like you tried to kill me or anything.

Against all odds, the Academy had come to feel like home. A slimy, moldy, dungeonlike home without working toilets, maybe, but home nevertheless. He and George had even named the rats that lived behind their...

Don’t talk.” Alec gestured at him with an expression of vague disgust.”Every time I look at you, I keep remembering coming in here and seeing you draped all over my sister.”Jace sat up.”I didn’t hear...

Maybe I should get my mom something,” he said bitterly. “What says ‘Thanks for throwing me out of the house and pretending I died’?” “Orchids?

Catching sight of himself in the long mirrors that ran along the walls, he stiffened in shock…His eyes were surrounded by black shadows, his shirt smeared with dried blood and filthy mud…”Admiring yourself?” The Inquisitor’s...

unrequitted love amuses me

Don’t screech like that. You’ll wake the dead.” – Jace – The Mortal Instruments – City Of Bones

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...

Iron Sisters also badass at recycling!

Love is a contradiction… Jace to Clary

no one has ever actually referred to me as ‘the master’, or ‘the magister’, either. More’s the pity…

One thing you’ll learn as you get older, Simon, is that when people tell you something unpleasant about themselves, it’s usually true.

to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.

Much better,” he said, and she thought this time that maybe his voice was uneven too.

Alec looked at her and shook his head. “How do you manage never to get mud on your clothes?”Isabelle shrugged philosophically. “I’m pure at heart. It repels the dirt.

Fresh is better. But you’ve never drunk fresh blood. Have you?”Simon raised his eyebrow in response.”Well, aside from mine of course,” Jace said. “And I’m pretty sure my blood is fan-tastic.

We?” Simon looked at him in disbelief. “Are you ever going home?””What, bored with my company already?” “Let me ask you something,” Simon said. “Do you find me fascinating to be around?””What was that?” Jace...

Something inside Clary cracked and broke, and words came pouring out. ‘What do you want me to tell you? The truth? The truth is that I love Simon like I should love you, and I...

Simon!” Clary shouted, and seized his arm. “What?” Simon looked alarmed.”I’m not really sleeping with your mom, you know. I was just trying to get your attention. Not that your mom isn’t a very attractive...

Fu Alec a parlare per primo. “Cos’è?” chiese guardando Clary.”E’ una ragazza” disse Jace. “Sicuramente ti sarà già capitato di vederne qualcuna, Alec. Tua sorella Isabelle, ad esempio

But they love each other. Isn’t that what love means? That you’re supposed to be there for the other person to turn to, no matter what?

He knew Alec enough by now to know the conflicting impulses that warred in him. He was conscientious, the kind of person who believed that the others around him were so much more important than...

You know what the worst thing I can imagine is? Simon had said. Not trusting someone I love.

Because’, she said, ‘your problems are not real problems. You’re dating two beautiful girls at once. Think about it. That’s like…having rock-star problems.”Having rock-star problems may be the closest I ever get to being an...

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...

Maybe they didn’t make vampires out of ugly people. Or maybe ugly people just didn’t want to live forever.

that love is the most powerful force in the world. That love can do anything.

It isn’t against the Law to be an idiot.
