No quiero ser un hombre -replicó Jace-, quiero ser un adolescente dominado por la angustia que no puede enfrentarse a sus demonios interiores y por eso ataca verbalmente a otras personas.

Terrible. I’m already way behind on my quota of witty comments for the day.

I have a plan.” He groaned. “I was afraid of that.””My plans are not terrible.””Isabelle’s plans are terrible.” He pointed a finger at her. “Your plans are suicidal. At best.

I was trying to go… somewhere. But I kept getting pulled back here. I couldn’t stop walking, couldn’t stop thinking. About the first time I ever saw you, and how after I couldn’t forget you....

Get over here. Sheldon’s had an idea.””Who’s Sheldon?”, said Isabelle.

Where am I?” Magnus croaked.”Nazca.””Oh, so we went on a little trip.””You broke into a man’s house,” Catarina said. “You stole a carpet and enchanted it to fly. Then you sped off into the night...

Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made...

That for my father, there was only ever one woman he loved, and it was her for him, or nothing. You are that for me. I love you, and I will only ever love you...

He was Will, in all his perfect imperfection; Will, whose heart was as easy to break as it was carefully guarded; Will, who loved not wisely but entirely and with everything he had.

When I first arrived in London, I so quickly tired of being surrounded by so many people that it was only with great difficulty that I refrained from seizing the next unfortunate who crossed my...

I think if two souls are meant to be together, they will remain together on the Wheel and be together again in the life after this one, whatever happens to us now.

She had fallen asleep with her head on his arm, the clockwork angel, still around her throat, resting against his shoulder just to the left of his collarbone. As she moved away, the clockwork angel...

Iwouldn’t go that far,” muttered Tessa.

It fills me with a sense of peace and well-being.

All that running and getting nowhere, he thought. Story of my life.

Therefore you can never lose hope-hatikva-because if you keep hope alive, it will keep you alive.

My head feels round,” Simon said sadly. “So round.

ーEscribí algo para ti, ーla corrigió con una sonrisa y comenzó a tocar. Ella escuchó emocionada; comenzó lento, sencillo, su control sobre el arco producía un sonido armónico. La melodía la lleno tan fresca y...

Sometimes when she looks at him that way he finds himself almost blushing; a feeling so strange he almost doesn’t recognize it. Jace Wayland doesn’t blush.

You have something on your neck,” he observed.Alec’s hand flew to his throat. “What?””Looks like a bite mark,” said Jace. “What have you been doing all day, anyway?””Nothing.” Beet red, his hand still clamped to...

You can take your Law,” she said in a measured tone, “and shove it right up your-

I was Marked by a very cute boy with terrible impulse control. I don’t remember because I was basically unconscious but everyone was mad at him when I woke up. The end, love Clary.

Few can claim a single angel who guards them. But you can.

Demon pox. There’s always demon pox.

We who are immortal, we are chained to this life by a chain of gold, and we dare not sever it for fear of what lies beyond the drop.

My shoulder will never be the same. I expect you to nurse me back to health.

molesting the vampire while he’s too weak to fight back, iz? jace asked. i’m pretty sure that violates at least one of the accords.

Nerd love. It is a beautiful thing, while also being an object of mockery and hilarity for those of us who are more sophisticated.
