    David Levithan
    “Most dancers find their confidence in dancing. Right is mere millimeters away from wrong. Failure is always louder than success. But there is an accumulation of all the things you don’t do wrong, and it becomes your confidence. You can even get to the point where confidence lasts longer than the dance. Seconds at first. Then minutes. Then maybe it’ll be there when you’re walking into a party, or meeting people after a show. You know you have something desirable, and you know you can move.”
    David Levithan, How They Met, and Other Stories

    Rick Riordan
    “Hey.” [Leo] squeezed her hand, though Hazel sensed nothing romantic in the gesture. “Machines are designed to work.”
    “Uh, what?”
    “I figure the universe is basically like a machine. I don’t know who made it, if it was the Fates, or the gods, or capital-G God, or whatever. But it chugs along the way it’s supposed to most of the time. Sure, little pieces break and stuff goes haywire once in a while, but mostly . . . things happen for a reason. Like you and me meeting.”
    “Leo Valdez,” Hazel marveled, “you’re a philosopher.”
    Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

    "Stealing my stuff!" Leo yelled, and ran for the stairs.”

    Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello

    Cassandra Clare
    “Beati bellicosi. Blessed are the warriors.”
    “Good organization,” said Magnus. “I knew the man who founded it, back in the 1800s. Woolsey Scott. Respectable old werewolf family.”
    Alec made an ugly sound in the back of his throat. “Did you sleep with him, too?”
    Magnus’s cat eyes widened. “Alexander!”
    “Well, I don’t know anything about your past, do I?” Alec demanded. “You won’t tell me anything; you just say it doesn’t matter.”
    Magnus’s face was expressionless, but there was a dark tinge of anger to his voice. “Does this mean every time I mention anyone I’ve ever met, you’re going to ask me if I had an affair with them?”
    Alec’s expression was stubborn, but Simon couldn’t help having a flash of sympathy; the hurt behind his blue eyes was clear. “Maybe.”
    “I met Napoleon once,” said Magnus. “We didn’t have an affair, though. He was shockingly prudish for a Frenchman.”
    “You met Napoleon?” Jordan, who appeared to be missing most of the conversation, looked impressed. “So it’s true what they said 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 an expression that said Uh-oh. “You can’t be rude to everyone who talks to me.”
    Alec made a wide, sweeping gesture. “And why not? Cramping your style, am I? I mean, maybe you were hoping to flirt with werewolf boy here. He’s pretty attractive, if you like the messy-haired, broad-shouldered, chiseled-good looks type.”
    “Hey, now,” said Jordan mildly.
    Magnus put his head in his hands.
    “Or there are plenty of pretty girls here, since apparently your taste goes both ways. Is there anything you aren’t into?”
    “Mermaids,” said Magnus into his fingers. “They always smell like seaweed.”
    “It’s not funny,” Alec said savagely, and kicking back his chair, he got up from the table and stalked off into the crowd.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

    Cassandra Clare
    “Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?'
    Jace said, "Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself."
    ..."At least," she said, "you don't have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland."
    "Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #25
    Cassandra Clare

    Cassandra Clare
    “Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?"
    "If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

  • #30
    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."
    "Well," said Luke, "you're doing a fantastic job.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes
