    Cassandra Clare
    “Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks?"

    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    Cassandra Clare
    “Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact?" Will demanded with mock horror. "Clearly I have been doing something wrong. Or not something wrong, as the case may be."

    “Jessamine recoiled from the paper as if it were a snake. "A lady does not read the newspaper. The society pages, perhaps, or the theater news. Not this filth."

    “Reparations,” said Jem very suddenly, setting down the pen he was holding.
    Will looked at him in puzzlement. “Is this a game? We just blurt out whatever word comes next to mind? In that case mine is ‘genuphobia’. It means an unreasonable fear of knees.”
    “What’s the word for a perfectly reasonable fear of annoying idiots?” inquired Jessamine.”

    “Will: "Nice place to live, isn't it? Let's hope they left something behind other than filth. Forwarding addresses, a few severed limbs, a prostitute or two ..."

    Cassandra Clare
    “This is about Tessa. I knew it was."
    Will flushed, a wash of color across the pallor of this face. "Not just her."

    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare
    “Do you think Charlotte will let me handle the investigation?"
    "Do you think you can be trusted in Downworld? The gaming hells, the dens of magical vice, the women of loose morals..."
    Will smiled the way Lucifer might have smiled, moments before he fell from heaven. "Would tomorrow be to early to start looking, do you think?
    Jem sighed. 'Do what you like, William. You always do.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #19
    Cassandra Clare
    “I suspect he's sweet on Sophie and doesn't like to see her work too hard.'
    Tessa was glad to hear it. She'd felt awful about her reaction to Sophie's scar, and the thought that Sophie had a male admirer - and a handsome one like that- eased her conscience slightly. 'Perhaps he's in love with Agatha', she said.
    'I hope not. I intend to marry Agatha myself. She may be a thousand years old, but she makes an incomparable jam tart. Beauty fades, but cooking is eternal.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    Cassandra Clare

    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #24
    Cassandra Clare
    “The witchlight made his skin paler, his eyes more intently blue. They were the color of the water in the North Atlantic, where the ice drifted on its blue-black surface like the snow clinging to the dark glass pane of a window.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #25
    Cassandra Clare
    “Jem gave her a wistful look. “Must you go? I was rather hoping that you’d stay and be a ministering angel, but if you must go, you must.”
    “I’ll stay,” Will said a bit crossly, and threw himself down in the armchair Tessa had just vacated. “I can minister angelically.”
    “None too convincingly. And you’re not as pretty to look at as Tessa is,” Jem said, closing his eyes as he leaned back against the pillow.
    “How rude. Many who have gazed upon me have compared it to gazing at the radiance of the sun.”
    Jem still had his eyes closed. “If they mean that it gives you a headache, they aren’t wrong.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    “Charlotte, darling, Henry said to his wife, who was staring at im in gape-mouthed horror. Jassamine, beside her, was wided eyed. Sorry im late. You know, i think i might nearly have the sensor working-
    Will interrupted. Henry, he said, your on fire. You do know that, don't you?

    Oh, yes, Henry said eagerly. The flames were now nearly to his shoulder. I've been working like a man possessed all day. Charlotte, did you hear what i said about the sensor?
    Charlotte dropped her hand from her mouth. Henry! She shrieked. Your arm!

    Henry glanced down at his arm, and his mouth dropped open.
    Bloody hell!”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    Cassandra Clare
    “Well, she's not responding to my advances," he observed more brightly than he felt, "so she must be dead."
    "Or she's a woman of good taste and sense.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #29
    Cassandra Clare
    “Will rolled up his sleeves. "We'll probably have to knock down the door--"
    "Or," said Jem, reaching out and giving the knob a twist, "not."
    The door swung open onto a rectangle of darkness.
    "Now, that's simply laziness," said Will.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    Cassandra Clare
    “Blue does not go with everything," Will told her. "It does not go with red, for instance."
    "I have a red and blue striped waistcoat," Henry interjected, reaching for the peas.
    "And if that isn't proof that those two colors should never be seen together under Heaven, I don't know what is.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
