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

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
9
Well, I’m not kissing the mundane, " said Jace. "I’d rather stay down here and rot."" Forever?" said Simon. "Forever’s an awfully long time." Jace raised his eyebrows. "I knew it, " he said. "You want to kiss me, don’t you?Cassandra Clare
10
That does it, " said Jace. "I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year."" Why?" Isabelle said." So you can look up 'fun.' I'm not sure you know what it means.Cassandra Clare

Mom. I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like you and me … well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.Cassandra Clare

Isabelle drifted over, Jace a pace behind her. She was wearing a long black dress with boots and an even longer cutaway coat of soft green velvet, the color of moss. "I can't believe you did it! " she exclaimed. "How did you get Magnus to let Jace leave?"" Traded him for Alec, " Clary said. Isabelle looked mildly alarmed. "Not permanently?"" No, " said Jace. "Just for a few hours. Unless I don't come back, " he added thoughtfully. "In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy." Isabelle looked dubious. "Mom and Dad won't be pleased if 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 the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Simon inquired. "No, probably not.Cassandra Clare

I thought I'd lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while, " he grunted, "It relaxes me."" It does? Oh - you're being sarcastic. That's a good sign probably.Cassandra Clare
15
Alec looked at her and shook his head. "How do you manage never to get mud on your clothes?" Isabelle shrugged philosophically. "I'm pure at heart. It repels the dirt.Cassandra Clare

Watching Jace hug Isabelle, she tried to school her features into a happy and loving expression." Are you all right?" Simon asked, with some concern. "Your eyes are crossing.Cassandra Clare
21
Lawful good to lawful evil! " said Simon, pleased." He's quoting Dungeons and Dragons, " said Clary. "Ignore him.Cassandra Clare
22
I can only assume, " said Jace, "that mortal emotions amuse you because you have none of your own.Cassandra Clare
23
Look on the bright side, " said Simon, "If they need a human sacrifice, you can always offer me. I'm not sure the rest of you qualify anyway.Cassandra Clare
24
Then you're aping him. Valentine was one of the most arrogant and disrespectful men I've ever met. I suppose he brought you up to be just like him."" Yes, " Jace said, unable to help himself, "I was trained to be an evil mastermind from a young age. Pulling the wings off flies, poisoning the earth's water supply – I was covering that stuff in kindergarten. I guess we're all just lucky my father faked his own death before he got to the raping and pillaging part of my education, or no one would be safe.Cassandra Clare

You're Valentine's son. I'm sure you're the one the Queen really wants to see. Besides, you're charming. Maybe not at the moment.Cassandra Clare
26
I can't believe he didn't have the dignity and presence of mind just to get drunk and pass out in some gutter, " said Jace. "I must say, I'm disappointed in the little fellow.Cassandra Clare
27
He looked back at her, and when she saw the look on his face, she saw his eyes at Renwick’s, when he had watched the Portal that separated him from his home shatter into a thousand irretrievable pieces. He held her gaze for a split second, then looked away from her, the muscles in his throat working.Cassandra Clare

31
He has fought many battles with us" (Jace) By which you mean one battle" muttered Simon. "Two if you count the one I was a ratCassandra Clare
32
Something inside Clary cracked and broke, and words came pouring out. 'What do you want me to tell you? The truth? The truth is that I love Simon like I should love you, and I wish he was my brother and you weren't, but I can't do anything about that and neither can you!Cassandra Clare
33
Look, it's easy to outsmart a werewolf or a vampire, " Jace said. "They're no smarter than anyone else. But faeries live for hundreds of years and they're as cunning as snakes. They can't lie, but they love to engage in creative truth-telling. They'll find out whatever it is you want most in the world and give it to you–with a sting in the tail of the gift that will make you regret you ever wanted it in the first place." He sighed. "They're not really about helping people. More about harm disguised as help. .Cassandra Clare

Honestly, Clary, if you don't start utilizing a bit of your natural feminine superiority I just don't know what I'll do with you.Cassandra Clare

I brought you some coffee.” he held out the cup but she waved it away.“ I hate that stuff. It tastes like feet.” At that he smiled. “How would you know what feet taste like?”“ I just know.”- Luke and Clary, pg.209-Cassandra Clare

Just take the weapon you hold in your hand and drive it through his heart, " Valentine's voice was soft. "One simple motion. Nothing you haven't done before." Jace met his father's stare with a level gaze. "I saw Agramon, " he said. "It had yourCassandra Clare
43
But sleep didn't come. She could hear Jace's soft piano playing through the walls, but that wasn't what was keeping her awake. She was thinking of Simon, leaving for a house that no longer felt like home to him, of the despair in Jace's voice as he said 'I want to hate you', and of Magnus, not telling Jace the truth: that Alec did not want Jace to know about his relationship because he was still in love with him. She thought of the satisfaction it would have brought Magnus to say the words out loud, to acknowledge what the truth was, and the fact that he hadn't said them - had let Alec go on lying and pretending - because that was what Alec wanted, and Magnus cared about Alec enough to give him that. Maybe it was true what the Seelie Queen had said, after all: Love made you a liar.Cassandra Clare
44
Just because you said dragon demons were extinct–"" I said mostly extinct." Alec jabbed a finger toward him." Mostly extinct, " he said, his voice trembling with rage, "is NOTEXTINCT ENOUGH.""I see, " said Jace. "I'll just have them 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? .Cassandra Clare

She took out a shiny folded pamphlet, the kind they kept stacked in clear plastic stands in hospital waiting rooms. "How to Come Out to Your Parents, " she read out loud. "LUKE. Don't be ridiculous. Simon's not gay, he's a vampire.Cassandra Clare
46
Luke opened the pizza box and, finding it empty, shut it with a sigh." Though you did eat allthe pizza." "I only had five slices, " Simon protested, leaning his chair backward so itbalanced precariously onits two back legs. "How many slices did you think were in a pizza, dork?" Clary wanted toknow. "Less than five slices isn't a meal. It's a snack." Simon looked apprehensively at Luke. "Does thismean you're going towolf out and eat me? .Cassandra Clare
