And now I’m looking at you, ” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before — bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it — but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.Cassandra Clare
You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me." She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was, covered in blood and dirt, he was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen." But I don't want anything else in the world.Cassandra Clare

Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited.Cassandra Clare
What's this?" he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might know what she was doing there." It's a girl, " Jace said, recovering his composure. "Surely you've seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one.Cassandra Clare
I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.Cassandra Clare
You could have fooled me. Everytime I called you, Luke said you were sick. I figured you were avoiding me. Again.""I wasn't. I did want to talk to you. I've been thinking about you all the time."" I've been thinking about you, too."" I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know."" I know. Everytime you almost die, I almost die myself.Cassandra Clare

And next time you're planning to injure yourself to get me attention, just remember that a little sweet talk works wonders.Cassandra Clare
Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name, " Will said. "You can have mine." Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. "Your name?" Will took a step toward her, till they stood face-to-face. Then he reached to take her hand and slid off her glove, which he put into his pocket. He held her bare hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused, and his touch made her shiver. His eyes were steady and blue; they were everything that Will was: true and tender, sharp and witty, loving and kind. "Marry me, " he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.Cassandra Clare

Hearts are breakable, " Isabelle said. "And I think even when you heal, you're never what you were before".Cassandra Clare
He made a sound like a choked laughed before he reached out and pulled her into her arms. She was aware of Luke watching them from the window, but she shut her eyes resolutely and buried her face against Jace's shoulder. He smelled of salt and blood, and only when his mouth came close to her ear did she understand what he was saying, and it was the simplest litany of all: her name, just her name.Cassandra Clare
If there's a thing I've learned in my life it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for don'tCassandra Clare

We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.Cassandra Clare
Now very much against her will, she thought of the way Jace had looked at her then, the blaze of faith in his eyes, his belief in her. He had always thought she was strong. He had showed it in everything he did, in every look and every touch. Simon had faith in her too, yet when he'd held her, it had been as if she were something fragile, something made of delicate glass. But Jace had held her with all the strength he had, never wondering if she could take it--he'd known she was as strong has he was.Cassandra Clare
There is no pretending", Jace said with absolute clarity." I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there's a life after that, I'll love you then." She caught her breath. He had said it-the words there was no going back from.Cassandra Clare

To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.Cassandra Clare

There are memories that time does not erase... Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.Cassandra Clare

I've never minded it, " he went on. "Being lost, that is. I had always thought one could not truly be lost if one knew one's own heart. But I fear I may be lost without knowing yours.Cassandra Clare
Of course he loves me. I’m his sister.”“ Blood isn’t love, ” said Magnus, and his voice was bitter.Cassandra Clare

When you love someone, you don't have a choice. Love takes your choices away.- Clary FrayCassandra Clare

Looking at him now-even if she hadn't been in love with him, that part of her that was her mother's daugher, that loved every beautiful thing for its beauty alone, would still have wanted him.Cassandra Clare
