    Cassandra Clare
    “Clary?” Jace tilted his head to the side, studying her face. “You do—you still love me, don’t you?”

    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    Cassandra Clare
    “I don’t want to be Nephilim,” said Jace. “I want to be something else. Stronger, faster, better than human. But different. Not subservient to the Laws of an angel who couldn’t care less about us. Free.” He ran his hand through a curl of her hair. “I’m happy now, Clary. Doesn’t that make a difference?”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    Cassandra Clare
    “There are some things you never forget. The runes of the Book are more than illustrations. They become part of you. Part of your skin. Being a Shadowhunter never leaves you. It’s a gift that’s carried in your blood, and you can no more change it than you can change your blood type.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    “I am a man" he told her, "and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone woman, and bring me something brown.”

    “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

    “I know it's wrong - God, it's all kinds of wrong - but I just want to lie down with you and wake up with you, just once, just once ever in my life.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Clary,

    Despite everything, I can't bear the thought of this ring being lost forever, any more then I can bear the thought of leaving you forever. And though I have no choice about the one, at least I can choose about the other. I'm leaving you our family ring because you have as much right to it as I do.
    I'm writing this watching the sun come up. You're asleep, dreams moving behind your restless eyelids. I wish I knew what you were thinking. I wish I could slip into your head and see the world the way you do. I wish I could see myself the way you do. But maybe I dont want to see that. Maybe it would make me feel even more than I already do that I'm perpetuating some kind of Great Lie on you, and I couldn't stand that.
    I belong to you. You could do anything you wanted with me and I would let you. You could ask anything of me and I'd break myself trying to make you happy. My heart tells me this is the best and greatest feeling I have ever had. But my mind knows the difference between wanting what you can't have and wanting what you shouldn't want. And I shouldn't want you.
    All night I've watched you sleeping, watched the moonlight come and go, casting its shadows across your face in black and white. I've never seen anything more beautiful. I think of the life we could have had if things were different, a life where this night is not a singular event, separate from everything else that's real, but every night. But things aren't different, and I can't look at you without feeling like I've tricked you into loving me.
    The truth no one is willing to say out loud is that no one has a shot against Valentine but me. I can get close to him like no one else can. I can pretend I want to join him and he'll believe me, up until that last moment where I end it all, one way or another. I have something of Sebastian's; I can track him to where my father's hiding, and that's what I'm going to do. So I lied to you last night. I said I just wanted one night with you. But I want every night with you. And that's why I have to slip out of your window now, like a coward. Because if I had to tell you this to your face, I couldn't make myself go.
    I don't blame you if you hate me, I wish you would. As long as I can still dream, I will dream of you.

    _Jace”

    Cassandra Clare
    “But-" Maia, still looking at Alec and Magnus, broke off and rasied her eyebrows. Simon turned to see what she was looking at - and stared.
    Alec had his arms around Magnus and was kissing him full on the mouth. Magnus, who appeared to be in a state of shock, stood frozen. Several groups of people - Shadowhunters and Downworlders alike - were staring and whispering. Glancing to the side, Simon saw the Lightwoods, their eyes widen, gaping at the display. Maryse had her hand over her mouth.
    Maia looked perplexed. "Wait a second," she said. "Do we all have to do that, too?”

    “I have a fetish for damsels in distress.”
    “Don’t be sexist.”
    “Not at all. My services are also available to gentlemen in distress. It’s an equal opportunity fetish.”

    “It's not funny, Jace," Alec interrupted, starting to his feet. "Are you just going to let her stand there and call me names?"

    "Yes," Jace said kindly. "It'll do you good-- try to think of it as endurance training.”

    “And quit baring your fangs at me. It's making me nervous."

    "Good," Simon said. "if you want to know why, it's because you smell like blood."
    "It's my cologne. Eau de Recent Injury." Jace raised his left hand.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “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 grant, or they would already have been granted. And perhaps people were supposed to find these things for themselves.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “I am a man, and men do not drink pink drinks. Now, be gone, woman, and fetch me something brown." Jace said.
    "Brown?" said Isabelle.
    "Yes. Brown. It's a manly color. See? Alec is wearing it." Jace said.
    "Well, it was black but it faded." Alec said.
    "Well, I can always fix it up with something sparkly," Magnus said, holding a sparkley headband.
    "Resist the urge, Alec, resist the urge." Simon said.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “Look. I don’t want to push you into anything, but do you maybe want to —” “Call Magnus? Look, that’s a dead end, I know you’re trying to be helpful, but —”
    “—kiss me?” Jace finished.
    Alec looked as if he were about to fall off his chair. “WHAT? What? What?”
    “Once what would do.” Jace did his best to look as if this were the sort of
    suggestion one made all the time. “I think it might help.”
    Alec looked at him with something like horror. “You don’t mean that.”
    “Why wouldn’t I mean it?”
    “Because you’re the straightest person I know. Possibly the straightest
    person in the universe.”
    “Exactly,” Jace said, and leaned forward, and kissed Alec on the mouth.
    The kiss lasted approximately four seconds before Alec pulled forcefully
    away, throwing his hands up as if to ward Jace off from coming at him again.
    He looked as if he were about to throw up. “By the Angel,” he said. “Don’t
    ever do that again.”
    “Oh yeah?” Jace grinned, and almost meant it. “That bad?”
    “Like kissing my brother,” said Alec, with a look of horror in his eyes.
    “I thought you might feel that way.” Jace crossed his arms over his chest.
    “Also, I’m hoping we can just gloss over all the irony in what you just said.”
    “We can gloss over whatever you want to,” Alec said fervently. “Just don’t kiss me again.”

    “She supposed they were imperfections, those marks, but they didn't feel that way to her; they were a history, cut into his body: the map of a life of endless war.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but it's the way you live your life that matters. And the people you know. Valentine was Hodge's friend, and I don't think Hodge really had anyone else in his life to challenge him or make him be a better person. If I'd had that life, I don't know how I would have turned out. But I didn't. I have my family. And I have you.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    “You don't get it, Clary. You don't understand what it's like to live always at war, to grow up with battle and sacrifice. I guess it's not your fault. It's just how you were brought up-”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “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 sure which.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    “Why not? Do you like him?” Magnus’s eyes gleamed. “He seems to like you. I saw him going for your hand out there like a squirrel diving for a peanut.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “Valentine whirled. Clary, lying half-conscious in the sand, her wrists and arms a screaming agony, stared
    defiantly back. For a moment their eyes met—and he looked at her, really looked at her, and she
    realized it was the first time her father had ever looked her in the face and seen her. The first and only
    time.
    “Clarissa,” he said. “What have you done?”
    Clary stretched out her hand, and with her finger she wrote in the sand at his feet. She didn’t draw runes.
    She drew words: the words he had said to her the first time he’d seen what she could do, when she’d
    drawn the rune that had destroyed his ship.
    MENE MENE TEKEL UPSHARIN.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “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 think about is yourself! But there's a war now, or there will be, and I don't have time or the inclination to follow around after you, trying to make sure you don't get us killed! Go home, Clary. Go home!”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Cassandra Clare
    “Really? Are you going to ask him to be your partner?" Isabelle asked. "It's like cotillion, this partners business, except with killing."
    "So, exactly like a cotillion," said Simon.”
    Cassandra Clare
