So you’re trying to make her happy despite the fact that the reason she’s unhappy in the first place is you,” said Simon, not very kindly. “That seems contradictory, doesn’t it?””Love is a contradiction,” said...

I’m not sure you’re quite sensible of the honor I’m doing you,” Jace said. “you’ll be the first mundane who has ever been inside the Institute.” “Probably the smell keeps the rest of them away.

Every decision you make, makes you. Never let other people choose who you’re going to be.

There was a time, not so long ago, when Simon Lewis had been convinced that all gym teachers were actually demons escaped from some hell dimension, nourishing themselves on the agonies of uncoordinated youth. Little...

I don’t carol, said Simon. I’m Jewish. I only know the dreidel song.

La amaba lo suficiente para saber que ella estaría mejor sin él.

There was no Jace Wayland more real than the one he saw in her eyes when she looked at him.

Good idea. If you’re going to take on a lair of vampires by yourself, you’d better pray first.

The more beautiful the skin is, the more deadly it is. That’s what Will’s like. All that pretty face and whatnot just hides how twisted up and rotten he is on the inside.

My first album will be titled One Foot in Hell Already.

Oh no, Raphael, please don’t leave me,” Magnus said in a monotone. “Where would I be without the light of your sweet smile? If you go, I will throw myself upon the ground and weep.”...

You see it, don’t you, James? Without Tessa there is nothing for me–no joy, no light, no life. If you loved me, you would let me have her. You can’t love her as I do....

It was as hard to comprehend that your life would never end as it was to comprehend that it would.

Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name,” Will said. “You can have mine.”Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. “Your name?”Will took a step toward her,...

Jace looked as if she had slapped him. “Why are you determined not to believe us?””Because she loves you,” said Valentine.Clary felt the blood drain out of her face.

You’re an idiot.””I’ve never claimed to be otherwise.

Then you’re aping him. Valentine was one of the most arrogant and disrespectful men I’ve ever met. I suppose he brought you up to be just like him.””Yes,” Jace said, unable to help himself, “I...

Jace suggested that the cast of “Gilligan’s Island” could go do something anatomically unlikely with themselves.

Hate is nothing when weighed against survival. (Valentine)

aren’t you, uh… reproducing?”sure, we love reproducing it’s one of our favorite things.

“Jace?” “Yeah?” “How did you know I had Shadowhunter blood? Was there some way you could tell?” The elevator arrived with a final groan. Jace unlatched the gate and slid it open. The inside reminded...

She closed her eyes and jumped. For a moment she felt herself hang suspended, free of everything. Then gravity took over, and she plunged toward the floor. Instinctively she pulled her arms and legs in,...

I promise you, the right man won’t care.

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...

Jessamine blew out her cheeks in exasperation. “I think you ought to let me take poor Tessa into town to get some new clothes. Otherwise, the first time she takes a deep breath, that dress...

You’re a disaster for us, Clary! You’re a mundane, you’ll always be one, you’ll never be a Shadowhunter! You don’t know how to think like we do, think about what’s best for everyone– all you...

Ugh,” he said after a few swallows. “Dead blood.” Jace’s eyebrows went up. ” Isn’t all blood dead?” “The longer the animal whose blood I’m drinking has been dead, the worse the blood tastes,” Simon...

Aline!” Isabelle looked appalled. “You can’t just go around asking people what it’s like to be a vampire.

… We are Nephilim; we fight our own battles.” “That’s not precisely true, is it?” said a velvety voice. It was Magnus Bane, wearing a long and glittering coat, multiple hoops in his ears, and...

I wouldn’t change it,” Simon said. “I wouldn’t give up loving you. Not for anything. You know what Raphael told me? That I didn’t know how to be a good vampire, that vampires accept that...

whereas pasta is rarely fatal. Unless Isabelle makes it.

She could ask for anything, she thought dizzily, anything–an end to pain or world hunger or disease, or for peace on earth. But then again, perhaps these things weren’t in the power of angels to...

He could bring a six-foot tall pink rabbit in a bikini back home with him if he wanted to. It’s not my business. But if you’re asking me if I’ve brought any girls back here,...

And so what? I just killed a demon in my own house, and you’re going to be a dickhead about it because I’m not some spoiled-rotten rich brat like you and your sister?” Alec looked...

Does that mean you agree?”He groaned. “I think it means you crushed my spirit and beat me down.””Fantastic.

Znači,što si muževniji,to manje govoriš?

Having rock-star problems may be the closest I ever get to being an actual rock star.

Isabelle snorted. ‘All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you, Simon.”You noticed’ said Simon.’I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual,’ added Magnus.’Please never say those words in front of my...

But the name Magnus Bane made him think of a towering sort of figure, with huge shoulders and formal purple warlock’s robes, calling down fire and lightning. Not Magnus himself, who was more of a...

Why don’t we talk about your love life? Clary countered.”What about you and Alec?””Alec refuses to acknowledge that we have a relationship, and so I refuse to acknowledge him. He sent me a fire message...

Everyone has the potential to be extraordinary. As long as you have a soul and free will, you can be anything, do anything, choose anything.

To them, as to Magnus, time was like rain, glittering as it fell, changing the world, but something that could also be taken for granted.

It was a very bad idea. It was a terrible idea. It was the worst idea he had ever heard. It was irresistible.

Alex- Alec, if I had given you the impression I had accepted the idea of your death, I can only apologize. I tried to, I thought I had- and yet still I pictured having you...

Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks?” “They ate it too,” Will reminisced....

If no one cares for you at all, do you even really exist?

Dear me. Such harsh truths so early in the morning cannot be good for the digestion.

Marry me,” he said. “Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave...

And if that isn’t proof that those two colors should never be seen together under Heaven, I don’t know what is.

You’re in a charming temper, aren’t you, William?” interrupted Jem,though there was no edge to his voice.
