I’ve never felt so… light.

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.

Simon snorted. “If you ever meet the man who could take advantage of Isabelle, you’ll have to let me know. I’d like to shake his hand. Or run away from him very fast, I’m not...

And maybe I am a monster. I don’t know the answer to that. But what I do know is that even if there’s demon blood inside me, there is human blood inside me as well....

Keep up,” said an irritable voice in her ear. It was Jace, who had dropped back to walk beside her. “I don’t want to have to keep looking behind me to make sure nothing’s happened...

Remember how before, I was talking about Dungeons and Dragons?Vividly, Jace said. It was a dark time.

Isabelle!” he called again. “Let down your raven hair!'”Oh my God,” Clary muttered. “There was something in that blood Raphael gave you, wasn’t there? I’m going to kill him.

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

She hated that little voice inside her head. Like the Seelie Queen, it planted doubts where there shouldn’t be doubts, asked questions that had no answer.

I won’t be just your friend. I love you, Maia. I’m in love with you. I always have been. I always will be. Just being your friend would kill me” – Jordan

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...

Yes, you bit me, yes, I kind of liked it, yes, let’s not talk about it again, said Jace. You’re not a vampire anymore. Focus.

And what about us? Do you want a vampire boyfriend?” He laughed bitterly. “Because I forsee many romantic picnics in our future. You, drinking a virgin piña colada. Me, drinking the blood of a virgin.

Isabelle,” she said, lightening her tone with an obvious effort, “your loyalty to your friend is understandable –“”He’s not my friend.” Isabelle looked over at Jace, who was staring at her in a sort of...

Being a rat? No. First it was disorienting. I was suddenly at ankle-level with everyone. I thought I’d drunk a shrinking potion, but I couldn’t figure out why I had this urge to chew used...

My name is Raphael. Not chico.

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...

Why do you tell me you love me only when you’re drunk or dreaming? she asked. I have awful timing, said Simon

But not, I think, so much as the both of you.

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

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...
