    Cassandra Clare
    “You're the first Shadowhunter I've ever met."
    “That’s too bad,” said Jace, “since all the others you meet from now on will be a terrible letdown.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

    “What's this?"
    "That's a mango." Simon stared at Jace. Sometimes it really is like Shadowhunters were from an alien planet.
    "I don't think I've seen one of those that wasn't already cut up," Jace mused. "I like mangoes."
    Simon grabbed the mango and tossed it into the cart. "Great. What else do you like?"
    Jace pondered for a moment. "Tomato soup," he said finally.
    "Tomato soup? You want tomato soup and a mango for dinner?"
    Jace shrugged. "I don't really care about food.”

    “Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?"
    "No" Simon said, "If you hurt Clary she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    “You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?"

    “Jesus!" Luke exclaimed.
    "Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling.”

    “We came to see Jace. Is he alright?"
    "I don't know," Magnus said. "Does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “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 you were planning on teaching yourself the lambada on a greased platform over a pit full of knives, I wouldn't."
    "There goes my Saturday.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    “Jace slammed his hand down on the stele. “Clary-“
    “She said she doesn’t want it,” said Simon. “Ha-ha.”
    “Ha-ha?” Jace looked incredulous. “That’s your comeback?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “Lord, you're Irish," said Will. "Can you make things that don't have potatoes in them? We had an Irish cook once when I was a boy. Potato pie, potato custard, potatoes with potato sauce...”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare
    “Simon looked from one of them to the other, and shook his head. “ When did you two get so buddy-buddy? Last night it was all, ‘I’m the most elite warrior!’ ‘ No, I’m the most elite warrior!’ And today you’re playing Halo and giving each other props for good ideas.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

    Cassandra Clare
    “Isabelle waved a hand. "No need to worry, big brother. Nothing happened. Of course," she added as Alex's shoulders relaxed, "I was totally passed-out drunk, so he could really have done whatever he wanted and I wouldn't have woken up."
    "Oh, please," said Simon. "All I did was tell you the entire plot of Star Wars."
    "I don't think I remember that," said Isabelle, taking a cookie from the plate on the table.
    "Oh, yeah? Who was Luke Skywalker's best childhood friend?"
    "Biggs Darklighter," Isabelle said immediately, and then hit the table with the flat of her hand."That is so cheating!”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    “You get to choose who you are. Legacy, memories of the past, can serve us well. But we cannot let them define us. When heritage becomes a box instead of an inspiration, it has gone too far.”
    Brandon Sanderson, Skyward

    “So . . . ," I said. "You're saying that by the end of our training, you expect us to be able to use grappling hooks made of energy to smash our enemies with flaming chunks of space debris?"
    "Yes."
    "That . . . ," I whispered, "that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.”

    “You have large twin destructor emitters on each wing, along with a light-lance turret underneath. That’s as much firepower as our larger ships. You’re a warship.”
    “Clearly not,” M-Bot said. “I’m here to categorize fungi. Didn’t you listen to my last orders? I am not supposed to get into fights.”
    “Then why do you have guns?”
    “For shooting large and dangerous beasts who might be threatening my fungus specimens,” M-Bot said. “Obviously.”

    “Hello?’ M-Bot said. ‘Spensa? Are you dead?’
    ‘Maybe.’
    ‘Oooh. Like the cat!’
    ‘...What?’
    ‘I’m not sure, honestly,’ M-Bot said. ‘But logically, if you’re speaking to me then possibility has collapsed in our favor. Hurray!”

    “You have four guns."
    "Someone must have stuck them on when I wasn't looking.”

    “I miss my pilot,” M-Bot said. “I ‘miss’ him because of the loss of knowledge. Without proper information, I cannot judge my future actions. My ability to interface with the world, and to be efficient, is lessened.” He hesitated. “I am broken, and do not know how to fulfill my purpose. Is this how you feel?”
    “Maybe.” I made a fist, forcing myself to stop fidgeting. “But I’m going to beat it, M-Bot.”
    “It must be nice to have free will.”
    “You have free will too. We’ve talked about this.”
    “I simulate it in order to seem more palatable to humans,” he said. “But I do not have it. Free will is the ability to ignore your programming. Humans can ignore theirs, but I—at a fundamental level—cannot.”
    “Humans don’t have programming.”
    “Yes you do. You have too much of it. Conflicting programs, none of it interfacing properly, all calling different functions at the same time—or the same function for contradictory reasons. Yet you ignore it sometimes. That is not a flaw. It is what makes you you.”
    Sanderson Brandon, Skyward
