"Well, there goes my plan for selling them all on eBay," Clary muttered.

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?'

“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.”
