    Cassandra Clare
    “I don't want to be a man," said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead."

    “We came to see Jace. Is he alright?"

    “That does it," said Jace. "I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year."

    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    “Mom. I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like you and me … well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “You see, cuckoos are parasites. They lay their eggs in other birds' nests. When the egg hatches, the baby cuckoo pushes the other baby birds out of the nest. The poor parent birds work themselves to death trying to find enough food to feed the enormous cuckoo child who has murdered their babies and taken their places."

    "It was an analogy."
    "I am not fat.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Isabelle drifted over, Jace a pace behind her. She was wearing a long black dress with boots and an even longer cutaway coat of soft green velvet, the color of moss. "I can't believe you did it!" she exclaimed. "How did you get Magnus to let Jace leave?"
    "Traded him for Alec," Clary said.
    Isabelle looked mildly alarmed. "Not permanently?"
    "No," said Jace. "Just for a few hours. Unless I don't come back," he added thoughtfully. "In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy."
    Isabelle looked dubious. "Mom and Dad won't be pleased if they find out."
    "That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Simon inquired. "No, probably not.”

    “You could have fooled me. Everytime I called you, Luke said you were sick. I figured you were avoiding me. Again."
    "I wasn't. I did want to talk to you. I've been thinking about you all the time."
    "I've been thinking about you, too."
    "I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know."
    "I know. Everytime you almost die, I almost die myself.”

    “Even the Inquisitor's eyebrows shot up when Magnus strode through the gate. The High Warlock was wearing black leather pants, a belt with a buckle in the shape of a jeweled M, and a cobalt-blue Prussian military jacket open over a white lace shirt. He shimmered with layers of glitter. His gaze rested for a moment on Alec's face with amusement and a hint of something else before moving on to Jace, prone on the ground.
    "Is he dead?" he inquired. "He looks dead."
    "No," snapped Maryse. "He's not dead."
    "Have you checked? I could kick him if you want." Magnus moved toward Jace.
    "Stop that!" the Inquisitor snapped, sounding like Clary's third-grade teacher demanding that she stop doodling on her desk with a marker.”

    "Wherever you were.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Something inside Clary cracked and broke, and words came pouring out. 'What do you want me to tell you? The truth? The truth is that I love Simon like I should love you, and I wish he was my brother and you weren't, but I can't do anything about that and neither can you!”

    “I get the feeling," Alec said, and smiled, "she hasn't forgiven me for betraying you, as she sees it."
    "Good girl," said Jace with appreciation.
    "I didn't betray you, idiot."
    "It's the thought that counts.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “She turned back to Jace. "Do you have to be so-," she began, but stopped when she saw his face. It looked stripped down, oddly vulnerable.
    "Unpleasant?" he finishes for her. "Only at days when my adoptive mother tosses me out of the house with instructions never to darken her door again. Usually I'm remarkably good-natured. Try me on any day that doesn't end in y.”

  • #26
    Cassandra Clare
    “Clary screamed out loud as he fell like a stone-
    And landed lightly on his feet just in front of her. Clary stared with her mouth open as he rose up out of a shallow crouch and grinned at her. "If I made a joke about just dropping in," he said, "would you write me off as a cliché?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “Just because you said dragon demons were extinct—"
    "I said mostly extinct."
    Alec jabbed a finger toward him.
    "Mostly extinct," he said, his voice trembling with rage, "is NOT
    EXTINCT ENOUGH."
    "I see," said Jace. "I'll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.' Will that make you happy?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    “Just take the weapon you hold in your hand and drive it through his heart," Valentine's voice was soft. "One simple motion. Nothing you haven't done before."
    Jace met his father's stare with a level gaze. "I saw Agramon," he said. "It had your face."
    "You saw Agramon?" The Soul-Sword glittered as Valentine moved toward his son. "And you lived?"
    "I killed it."
    "You killed the Demon of Fear, but you won't kill a single vampire, not even at my order?"
    Jace stood watching Valentine without expression. "He's a vampire, that's true," he said. "But his name is Simon.”
