“Don't touch any of my weapons without my permission."
"Well, there goes my plan for selling them all on eBay," Clary muttered.
"Selling them on what?"
Clary smiled blandly at him. "A mythical place of great magical power.”

“He grinned. It was a wicked grin, the kind that made the blood in Clary's veins run a little faster. "You want to go on a date?"
Caught off guard, she stammered. "A wh-what?"
"A date," Jace repeated. "Often 'a boring thing you have to memorize in history class,' but in this case, 'an offering of an evening of blisteringly white-hot romance with yours truly."
"Really?" Clary was not sure what to make of this. "Blisteringly white-hot?"
"It's me," said Jace. "Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort.”

"She shrugged. "Maybe he's lonely. Sebastian can't be the greatest company.""We don't know that. He could be absolutely fantastic at Scrabble," said Magnus.

Jace and Magnus have the best quotes and one liners!!
“Malachi scowled. "I don't remember the Clave inviting you into the Glass City, Magnus Bane.""They didn't," Magnus said. "Your wards are down."
"Really?" the Consul's voice dripped sarcasm. "I hadn't noticed."
Magnus looked concerned. "That's terrible. Someone should have told you." He glanced at Luke. "Tell him the wards are down.”

Haha, I love that quote. Magnus is hilarious.
Another favorite: “Magnus, standing by the door, snapped his fingers impatiently. "Move it along, teenagers. The only person who gets to canoodle in my bedroom is my magnificent self."
"Canoodle?" repeated Clary, never having heard the word before.
"Magnificent?" repeated Jace, who was just being nasty. Magnus growled. The growl sounded like "Get out.”
- Cassandra Clare, City of Bones
“What are all these?" Clary asked."Vials of holy water, blessed knives, steel and silver blades," Jace said, piling the weapons on the floor beside him, "electrum wire - not much use at the moment but it's always good to have spares - silver bullets, charms of protetion, crucifixes, stars of David-"
"Jesus," said Clary
"I doubt he'd fit."
"Jace." Clary was appalled.”
-Cassandra Clare, City of Bones
"What's the point in wasting a perfectly good brick wall when you have someone to throw against it, that's what I always say" Gotta love Isabelle!- City of Fallen Angels
"You're just worried they'll hire a male instructor and he'll be hotter than you."Jace's eyebrows went up. "Hotter than me?"
"It can happen," Clary said. "You know, theoretically."
"Theoretically the planet could suddenly crack in half, leaving me on one side and you on the other side, forever and tragically parted, but I'm not worried about that, either. Some things," Jace said, with his customary crooked smile, "are just too unlikely to dwell upon."

Only Jace could say this and not make me want to punch him!
Quit baring you fangs at me its making me nervous.Good, if u wanna know y its cos u smell like blood.
Oh ya, its my colone. Eau de Recent Injury.

"I don't want to be a man. I want to be an angst ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people.""Well" said Luke "you're doing a fantastic job."
Jace and Luke,City of Ashes
I love "Just because you said dragon demons were extinct-"
"I said mostly extinct"
Alec jabbed a finger towards him.
"Mostly extinct," he said, his voice trembling with rage "is NOT EXTINCT ENOUGH."
"I see." said Jace. "I'll have to 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?"
City of Ashes, Jace and Alec
Any Jace quote will do. I love these:-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

“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.”
― Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw Jace shoot her a look of white rage - but when she glanced at him, he looked as he always did: easy, confident, slightly bored.
"In future, Clarissa," he said, "it might be wise to mention that you already have a man in your bed, to avoid such tedious situations."
"You invited him into bed?" Simon demanded, looking shaken.
"Ridiculous, isn't it?" said Jace. "We would never have all fit."
"I didn't invite him into bed," Clary snapped. "We were just kissing."
"Just kissing?" Jace's tone mocked her with its false hurt. "How swiftly you dismiss our love.”
-
“What are all these?" Clary asked.
"Vials of holy water, blessed knives, steel and silver blades," Jace said, piling the weapons on the floor beside him, "electrum wire - not much use at the moment but it's always good to have spares - silver bullets, charms of protetion, crucifixes, stars of David-"
"Jesus," said Clary
"I doubt he'd fit."
"Jace." Clary was appalled.”
Don't tell me," Jace said, "Simon's turned himself into an ocelot and you want me to do something about it before Isabelle makes him into a stole. Well, you'll have have to wait till tomorrow. I'm out of commission." He pointed at himself - he was wearing blue pajamas with a hole in the sleeve. "Look. Jammies."
"Jace," Clary said, "this is important."
"Don't tell me," he said. "You've got a drawing emergency. You need a nude model. Well, I'm not in the mood. You could always ask Hodge," he said as an afterthought. "I hear he'll do anything for a -"
"JACE!" she interrupted him, her voice rising to a scream. "JUST SHUT UP FOR A SECOND AND LISTEN, WILL YOU?”
"If we're going to the silent city, you might want to her dressed. I mean, I appreciate the bra and panties look, but I don't know if the silent brothers will. There are only a few of them left, and I don't want them to die of excitement."- Jace
“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.""Enormous?" said Jace. "Did you just call me fat?"
"It was an analogy."
"I am not fat.”
I just found this conversation really funny, but anything that comes out of Jace's mouth is PERFECTION.
the door buzzer sounded again. the two boys exchanged a single look before both bolting down the narrow hallway. Jordan got there first. he grabbed for the coat rack that stood by the door, ripped the coats off it, flung the door wide, the rack held above his head like a javelin. on the other side of the door was jace. he blinked. "Is that a coatrack?" Jordan slammed the coat rack on the ground sighed. "if you were a vampire this would've been a lot more useful." "yes," said jace "or just someone with a lot of coats.
"Jesus!" Luke exclaimed. actually, it just me," said Simon "although I have been told the resemblance is startling."
"Let me introduce you to my good friend 'no'."
"What are you doing?" Alec asked."I thought i'd lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while," he(Jace) grunted "It relaxes me."
“It does? Oh-You’re being sarcastic. That’s a good sign probably.”Alec said
-
(Isabelle) “Mom and dad won’t be pleased when 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 a child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang?” Simon inquired “No, probably not”.-
Simon: "Look, did you ask me to come all the way uptown just so you could stare at me like I was something in a petri dish? Next time I'll send you a photo!"
Jace: "And I 'll frame it on my nightstand."
-
Jace: "But you've never drunk fresh blood. Have you?"
Simon raised his own eyebrows in response.
"Well, aside from mine, of course," Jace said, "And I'm sure my blood is Fan-tastic."
[...]
Simon: "There's something wrong with you. Mentally, I mean."
-
Jace( zu Simon): "You're not happy to see me, then?
I'm surprised. I've always been told my presence brightened up any room. One might think that went doubly for dank underground cells."
-
"Not everything, Jace, is about you," Clary said furiously.
"Possibly," Jace said, "but you have to admit that the majority of things are."
-
Jace:"I was trying to go...somewhere [...] but I kept getting pulled back here. I couldn´t stop thinking. About the first time I ever saw you and how after that I couldn´t forget you. I wanted to but I couldn´t stop myself. [....]And even back then, in that stupid coffee shop when I saw you sitting on that couch with Simon even then that felt wrong to me - I should have been the one sitting with you. The one who made you laugh like that. I couldn´t get rid of that feeling. That it should have been me. And the more I knew you the more I felt it - it had never been like that to me before. I´d always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and not wanted her anymore, but with you the feelings just got stronger [....]
There´s no pretending. I love you and will love you until I die and if there´s a life after that I´ll love you then."
-Jace (zu Sebastian): "Waiting for a special occasion to kill me? Chrismas is coming."
-
"Where ist the trust? I think it`s stawberry juice," Isabelle said. "Anyway, it's yummy. Jace?" She offered him the glass.
"I am a man," he told her, "and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone, woman, and bring me something brown."
"Brown?" Isabelle made a face.
"Brown is a manly color," said Jace, and yanked on a stray lock of Isabelle's hair with his free hand. "In fact, look - Alec is wearing it."
Alec looked mournfully down at his sweater. "It was black," he said. "But then it faded."
-
Jace: "You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me."
Jocelyn: It's okay if you want to hang your head out the window.Luke: I'm a werewolf, not a golden retriever.

Clary- "You guessed? You must have been pretty sure considering you could have killed me"Jace- "I was ninety percent sure."
Clary- "I See."
There must have beensomething in her voice because he turned to look at her. Her hand cracked acrossed his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put his hand on his cheeck more in surprise than pain.
Jace- "What the hell was that for?"
Clary- "The other ten percent."
Some of my favorite quotes are:"People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters." (Simon Lewis)
"Heroes aren't always the ones who win. They're the ones who lose, sometimes. But they keep fighting, they keep coming back. They don't give up. That's what makes them heroes."( Clarissa Fairchild)
“It means 'Shadowhunters: Looking Better in Black Than the Widows of our Enemies Since 1234'.” - Jace
