If you do not intend to help us,” she said, “then leave this house. Dawn is coming.””I am not a vampire.” Magnus said. “I shall not disappear with the light””You will if I kill you...

Once he asked me what I thought had turned me gay.””I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,” said Simon.

If no one in the entire world cared about you, did you really exist at all?

Excellent. I’ve been told I have a lovely, melodic reading voice.” He flipped the book open to the front page, where the title was printed in ornate script. Across from it was a long dedication,...

Nice work in their, Herondale, setting the place on fire,” Gabriel observed. “Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the...

I take your hand, brother, so that you may go in peace. Will had opened his blue eyes that never lost their colour over all the passing years, and looked at Jem and then Tessa,...

Dear me,” said Will, and he took another bite of his apple. “Is it because I’m better-looking than you?

…If you’d like to go back in there and try kicking him, I recommend aiming upward and a bit to the left–

I can keep a perfectly good eye on Simon, thank you. He’s my neophyte Downworlder to mock and boss around, not yours.

No wonder you and Jace like each other so much. You’re both crazy walking arsenals.

We’ve been here before, haven’t we? Last time you were starving, I gave you my blood. It was a little homoerotic, maybe, but I’m secure in my sexuality.

Sharp are the arrows of a broken heart.

What would you know about it?” he said. “Love, I mean.”Dorothea folded her soft white hands in her lap. “More than you might think,” she said. “Didn’t I read your tea leaves, Shadowhunter? Have you...

Will: Have you ever seen what happens to someone with demon pox? First it lies dormant. One begins to turn yellow and green. Then the swelling sets in -Jem: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS...

Always when Will did something to protect Tessa, Jem thought it was for his sake, not for Will’s. Always Will wished Jem could be entirely right. Each needle prick had it own name. Guilt. Shame....

You had to know a person well to make them laugh like that.

Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you’d get dressed up in a nurse’s outfit and give me a sponge bath?” asked Jace.”It was Simon who promised you...

I guess it’s true what they say,” observed Jace. “There are no straight men in the trenches.””That’s atheists, jackass,” said Simon furiously. “There are no atheists in the trenches.

You have something on your neck. What Looks like a bite mark, what were you doing out all night, anyway? Nothing. I went walking in the park. Tried to clear my head. And ran into...

If I feel the urge to burst into flames, I’ll let you know,” Simon was getting fed up. “Look, did you actually ask me to come all the way uptown just so you could stare...

Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.

I love you, Clary,” he said without looking at her. He was staring out into the church, at the row of lighted candles, their fold reflected in his eyes. “More than I ever–” He broke...

She made an impatient noise. “By the Angel, you don’t know anything about your kid, do you? Do you even really know how vampires are made?””Well, when a mommy vampire and a daddy vampire love...

I learned to play the instruments of war,” he said, “and paint in blood.

Beauty is harsh.

The Herondales are a rather infamous line, as you probably know. Many of them heroes, some of them traitors, so many of them brash, wild creatures consumed by their passions, whether it be love or...

Andwhose fault is that?

There might not be so much of a difference between the side of Light and the side of Dark as you suppose. After all, without the Dark, there is nothing for the light to burn...
