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

But all these were things he could not want, because they were things he could not have, and wanting what you could not have led to misery and madness.

Heroes aren’t always the ones who win,” she said. “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.

Clary stopped dead in her tracks. “Simon?””Oh, God,” said Jace, sounding resigned. “And here I’d actually hoped I’d got hold of something interesting.” -Clary and Jace pg. 114

Well, not in this case. He reached into the Inquisitor and he twisted…” Clary shuddered. “There was a lot of blood.””Like a special bonus for you,” Jace said to Simon.Simon ignored this.

He clung to her more tightly, knotting his hands in her hair, trying to tell her, with the press of his mouth on hers, all the things he could never say out loud: I love...

I know I told you once that whether God exists or not, we’re on our own. But when I’m with you, I’m not.

”Ako je išta naučila iz svega toga,onda je to bilo kako je lako izgubiti sve što si oduvijek mislio da ćeš imati vječno.”-

It’s love, not the Battle of Thermopylae. You don’t have to treat everything like it’s a last stand.

There are worse things,” Magnus observed.

I’d say it’s been nice meeting you all, but, in fact, it hasn’t. It’s been quite awkward, and frankly, the next time I see a single one of you will be far too soon.

Iz,” Alec said tiredly. “It’s not like it’s one big bad thing. It’s a lot of little invisible things. When Magnus and I were traveling, and I’d call from the road, Dad never asked how...

Whatever,” said Ragnor. “Raphael would never date a Shadowhunter.””Of course, why would he, when you two are in looove?” Magnus asked. “‘Oooh, Raphael is always so professional.’ ‘Oooh, Raphael brought up the most interesting points...

Love did not overcome everything. Love did not always endure. All you had could be taken away, love could be the last thing you had, and then love could be taken too.

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...
