Everybody in this academy, Shadowhunters and mundanes, people with the Sight and without it, every one of them is looking to be a hero. We are all hoping for it, and trying for it, and...

You know what? Don’t explain. Just—put your clothes on, both of you.

If you knew how to cook, maybe I would eat,” Jace muttered.Isabelle froze, her spoon poised dangerously. “What did you say?”Jace edged toward the fridge. “I said I’m going to look for a snack to...

This one incident I will not allow you to shrug off!””I wasn’t planning to,” Jace said. “I can’t shrug anything off. My shoulder’s dislocated.”-Hodge & Jace, pg.296-

Clary,” he whispered. There was a thump, and she realized he had fallen to his kees by the side of her bed. She didn’t move, but her body tightened. His voice was a whisper. “Clary,...

And Jessamine-Jessamine was gazing at her in abject horror, like someone who has seen a vision of their own ghost. For a moment Tessa felt a stab of guilt.It lasted only a moment, though. Slowly...

We will stand bravely with you! Malcolm announced. Catarina looked darkly at him, and he quailed. Well, we will stand bravely near you. Or at least within earshot. Maia gave him a hard look. So...

You have no idea what it is,” Ty said in a clipped voice. “You can’t say it’s going to be okay. You don’t know.

About twenty paces behind us, in the Council room, is Benedict. If you’d like to go back in there and try kicking him, I recommend aiming upward and a bit to the left—

They’re dead. They’re all dead.

Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited.

Love didn’t make you weak, it made you stronger.

What are all these?” Clary asked.”Vials of holy water, blessed knives, steel and silver blades,” Jace said, piling the weapons on the floor beside him, “electrum wire – not much use at the moment but...

You look lousy,’ he said. Jace blinked. ‘Seems an odd time to start an insult contest, but if you insist, I could probably think up something good.”No I mean it. You don’t look good.”This is...

Henry turned as if to dart out of the room, then swung around and stared at them, a look of confusion passing over his freckled face, as if he had only now had cause to...

You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.

Well I’d certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death.

The door buzzer sounded again. The two boys exchanged a single look before both bolting down the narrow hallway to the door. Jordan got there first. He grabbed for the coatrack that stood by the...

But sleep didn’t come. She could hear Jace’s soft piano playing through the walls, but that wasn’t what was keeping her awake. She was thinking of Simon, leaving for a house that no longer felt...

Simon to die. Jace to live. Jonathon to retune. And you Valentine’s daughter, to be the catalist of it all.

Why not risk your life, if you don’t want to live anyway? Why not risk your life if you’ll never be happy no matter what you do?

Scrawny little mundane bastard.

Until death,” Jem replied gently. “Those are the words of the oath. ‘Until aught but death part thee and me.’ Someday, Will, I will go where none can follow me, and I think it will...

Being sixteen forever sounded good until you really thought about it. Then it didn’t seem like such a great prospect.

Clary- “How to Come Out to Your Parents,” she read out loud. “LUKE. Don’t be ridiculous. Simon’s not gay, he’s a vampire.

Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.

What are you thinking?””Just how different everything down there is now, you know, now that I can see.””Everything down there is exactly the same,” he said. “You’re the one that’s different.

That’s your comeback?

Wait.” Clary was suddenly nervous. “The melted metal-it could be, like, toxic or something.”Maia snorted. “I’m from New Jersey. I born in toxic sludge.

I am with you. I’m not going anywhere.””Is there anything special you want to see? Paris? Budapest? The Leaning Tower of Pisa?”Only if it falls on Sebastian’s head, she thought. “Can we travel to Idris?...

Simon?” she asked. “I have a stupid question.””What is it?””Did you sleep with Isabelle?”Simon made a choking sound. Clary swiveled slowly around to look at him.”Are you okay?” she asked.”I think so,” he said, recovering...

Simon’s band never actually produced any music. Mostly they sat around in Simon’s living room, fighting about potential names and band logos. She sometimes wondered if any of them could actually play an instrument. ‘What’s...

When he let go of Clary, he turned and hugged Jace. Clary watched, tears running down her face.

Belatedly, Clary recalled something. “I thought you guys said only some of the vampire bikes could fly?”…[Jace:]”Only some of them can!” “How did you know this was one of them?” “I didn’t!” he shouted gleefully…

Like a lovely vase that someone has smashed. Only luck and skill can put it back together the way it was before.

They’re still looking at him,” she said to Magnus under her breath. “At Will, I mean.””Of course they are,” said Magnus. His eyes reflected light like a cat’s as they surveyed the room. “Look at...

If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me

Though the color would be fetching on him

I don’t like the rain forest,” Ragnor said sadly.”That’s because you are not open to new experiences in the same way I am!””No, it is because it is wetter than a boar’s armpit and twice...

The rich bought wonderful clothes you recognized. The richest had their pople go to Paris and buy the entire new collection that no one outside of the fashion house has seen.

Magnus, you were trying to flirt with your own plate.””I’m a very open-minded sort of fellow!

Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?””If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.

Jessamine recoiled from the paper as if it were a snake. “A lady does not read the newspaper. The society pages, perhaps, or the theater news. Not this filth.””But you are not a lady, Jessamine—,”...

Requited love is nice, but it doesn’t make much of a ballad.

We’re not just discussing him; we’re chasing him through an ornamental sculpture garden because he’s turned into a worm.

I am leaving, but I am living. I will not be gone from you entirely, Will. When you fight now, I will be still by you. When you walk in the world, I will be...

Life is a book, and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read. I would read them together with you, as many as I can, before I die.

It was Will, filling the doorway with his lanky, broad-shouldred frame. His blue eyes where thunderous. “What are you doing here?” he demanded.So much for the brief peace they had achieved the night before. “I...

If the marriage were valid, she’d be your sister-in-law.

Is this the part where you tell me you’re secretly in love with me? Vampire mojo strikes again.
