I’ve never felt so… light.

I was trying to make you jealous!” Simon screamed, right back. His hands were fisted at his sides. “You’re so stupid, Clary. You’re so stupid, can’t you see anything?”She stared at him in bewilderment. What...

You asked me who I belong to. I belong to you.

As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.

So it’s true what they say about warlocks, then?”Alec gave him a very unpleasant look. “What’s true?””Alexander,” said Magnus coldly, and Clary met Simon’s eyes across the table. Hers were wide, green, and full of...

I hate it when straight guys think all gay guys are attracted to them. I’m not attracted to every guy any more than you’re attracted to every girl.

Magnus reached for Alec, but instead of rising to his feet, he pulled Alec against him, his hand sliding up Alec’s back to knot in his hair. Magnus pulled Alec down and against him, and...

At last he reached out and with a gentle hand, closed Valentine’s eyes.”Ave atque vale, Shadowhunter,” he said.

My rapier wit hides my inner pain.

I’m happy now, Clary. Doesn’t that make a difference?

They’ll probably put that on my gravestone. ‘He Was Heterosexul and Had Low Expectations.

Wait a second,” Clary said.”I never understand why people say that,” Luke said, to no one in particular. “I wasn’t going anywhere.

It was a little sexy, Simon said. He felt much better, having fed, and couldn’t help but poke at Alec a bit. It wasn’t, said Alec. I had some feelings, said Simon.

He seemed only … annoyed. Annoyed, and sweaty, and hot. “Yeah, well,” he said, “the next time you decide to sneak out of our magically warded apartment through a door that shouldn’t really exist, leave...

You know Jace Lightwood?” said Emma.”I– What?””He’s famous,” Emma said with obvious amazement. He’s the best Shadowhunter. The best.

I’ve got the Mark of Cain,” said Simon. “That means nothing can kill me, right?””You can kill yourself,” Magnus said, somewhat unhelpfully. “As far as I know, inanimate objects can accidentally kill you. So if...

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

you can run out of garlic, you can’t really run out of music

Simon turned to Jordan, who was lying down across the futon, his head propped against one of the woven throw pillows. “How much of that did you hear?””Enough to gather that we’re going to a...

Mothers,lock up your daughters, then lock up your maidservants, then lock up yourselves. Lord Montgomery is on the prowl

I didn’t call you because I’m tired of you only wanting me around when you need something. I’m tired of watching you be in love with someone else – someone, incidentally, who will never love...

How she still thought of Max every day and it was like someone had emptied her lungs of air, and she would catch at her heart, afraid she was dying.

Take off your shirt.”Jace raised his eyebrows. “I’m not going to attack you,” she said impatiently. “I can take the sight of your naked chest without swooning.””Are you sure?” he asked, obediently sliding the shirt...

I have a feeling you’re right, Sherwin.”Simon. My name is Simon.

There is no pretending I love you and I will love you until you die. And if there is life after that, I will love you then.

Surely, she was too young to have so many ghosts.

Simon I’ve been trying to call you, but it seems like your phone is turned off. I don’t know where you are right now. I don’t know if Clary’s already told you what happened tonight....

I have not stopped loving her, nor my parabatai; love does not stop when someone dies.

Church was doing what he often did when dropped – lying on his back with all four legs in the air, pretending to be dead in order to induce guilt in his owners.

Magnus’s eyes went back to Alec. They were gold-green, as unreadable as the eyes of the cat he held on his lap. “Not my favorite topic, Smedley.””Simon”, said Simon. “If I’m going to die for...

But they love each other. Isn’t that what love means? That you’re supposed to be there for the other person to turn to, no matter what?

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

There are ways in which we’re so alike. We’re reckless. We don’t think before we act. We’ll do anything for people we love. And I never thought how scary that was for the people who...

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...

As Luke knelt down beside his corpse, Clary couldn’t help but remember what he had said about having loved Valentine once, about having been his closest friend. Luke, she thought with a pang. Surely he...

Wear that scarf,” he said, pointing to a blue cashmere scarf hanging on a peg. “It matches your eyes.”Alec looked at it. Suddenly he was filled with hate – for the scarf, for Magnus, and...

And she wept as well for the others lost in the Dark War, and she wept for her mother and the loss she had endured, and she wept for Emma and the Blackthorns, remembering how...

I’m the one who’s always been there for you… not him!

Because you’re lying to me. And you’re lying to yourself.” Jace’s eyes were blazing, and even though his hands were stuffed into his pockets, she could see that they were knotted into fists.

The morning star isn’t a stat,” Clary said grumpily. It’s a planet. I learned that in astronomy class.””Mundane education is regrettably prosaic,” said Jace.

Though Alec had never seen the occupants of the first floor loft, they seemed to be engaged in a tempestuous romance. Once there had been a bunch of someone’s belongings strewn all over the landing...

Alec is not a bunny rabbit. He’s a shadowhunter.

You shouldn’t do that. Not to your child. You should-carry your own burdens.

True. I’d always hoped that when I finally said ‘I love you’ to a girl, she’d say ‘I know’ back, like Leia did to Han in Return of the Jedi.

Do you remember what I told you that first time at Taki’s? About faerie food?””I remember you said you ran down Madison Avenue naked with antlers on your head”, said Clary, blinking silver drops off...

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...

The cord pulled taut and she rebounded, flying back up before falling again. As her velocity slowed, she opened her eyes and found herself dangling at the end of the cord, about five feet above...

No one blames her.””That never matters,” said Alec. “Not when you blame yourself.

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...

He is not a Herondale. He is a Lightwood. Jace Lightwood. He’s my son.
