Cassandra Clare

“No, i mean enterprising." said Will. "When I mean morally deficient, I say,`Now, that is something i would have done´”

“we are not here just because we have nowhere else; we need nowhere else, because we have the Institute, and those who are in it are our family.”

“You know when most girls say they want a big rock, they dont mean, you know, literally a big rock."-Clary to Jace, pg.313-”

“She was afraid you'd freak out? Start seeing demons in the White House?"... "There are demons in the White House?""I was kidding," said Jace. "I think."-Jace & Clary”

“Anything?" She laughed. "Like what kind of anything did you want?""Well, when I was five, I wanted to take a bath in spaghetti."-Clary & Jace, pg.310-”

“What are you doing here anyway?""'Here' as in your bedroom or 'here' as in the great spiritual question of our purpose here on this planet?"-Clary & Jace, pg.306-”

“How are you feeling?""Like someone massaged me with a cheese grater."-Clary & Simon, pg.297-”

“This one incident I will not allow you to shrug off!""I wasn't planning to," Jace said. "I can't shrug anything off. My shoulder's dislocated."-Hodge & Jace, pg.296-”

“My mother always told me if I rode a motorcycle with a boy, she'd kill me."...She couldn't hear him laugh, but she felt his body shake. "She wouldn't say that if she knew me," he called back to her confidently. "I'm an excellent driver."-Clary & Jace, pg.289-”

“Jace threw himself against the door. It didn't budge. He cursed. "My shoulder will never be the same. I expect you to nurse me back to health."-Jace to Clary, pg.284-”

“Jace whistled. "Raphael is really having an exceptionally bad night."-Jace, pg.283-”

“Raphael snapped, "This isn't funny.""That's why no one's laughing."-Raphael & Jace, pg.272-”

“The missing stairs baffled Clary. What did vampires have against stairs?-Clary, pg.266-”

“Right. Vampires. But how do they get inside?""They fly" ..."We dont fly," Clary felt impelled to point out."No," Jace agreed. "We dont fly. We break and enter." ..."Flying sounds like more fun."-Clary & Jace, pg.258-”

“Jesus," said Clary."I doubt he'd fit (in the wooden box).""Jace." Clary was apalled.-Clary & Jace, pg.255-”

“Clary wondered how many boyfriends she'd turned into rats by accident.-Clary to Isabelle, pg.245-”

“You on your way out?"Jace nodded. "Dont want to overstay our welcome.""What welcome?" Magnus asked. "I'd say is was a pleasure to meet you, but it wasn't. Not that you aren't all fairly charming, and as for you-" He dropped a glittery wink at Alec, who looked astounded. "Call me?"-Magnus & Jace, pg.243-”

“A sarcastic blond genie with a bad attitude.”

“We cant go around picking up every pile of dust in the place just in case it turns out to be Gregor in the morning."-Pg.242-”

“Why mundanes always insist on taking responsibility for things that aren't their fault is a mystery to me. You didn't force that cocktail down his idiotic throat."-Jace, pg.241-”

“If you run into a psychic wall face-first, do you wind up with psychic bruises?-Clary, pg.239-”

“I'm memorable, its true."-Magnus, pg.229-”

“She set you down on the floor and you started ranging around, picking things up, pulling my cats tail- you screamed like a banshee when the cat scratched you, so I asked your mother if you were part banshee. She didn't laugh."-Magnus to Clary, pg.228-”

“You like the party?""Is it in honor of anything?""My cat's birthday.""Oh." She glanced around. "Where's your cat?""I dont know. He ran away."-Magnus & Clary, pg.221-”

“Children of the Nephilim," Magnus said. "Well, well. I don't recall inviting you."Isabelle took out her invitation and waved it like a white flag. "I have an invitation. These"--she indicated the rest of the group with a grand wave of her arm--"are my friends."Magnus plucked the invitation out of her hand and looked at it with fastidious distaste. "I must have been drunk," he said. He threw the door open. "Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests." Jace looked at him, "Even if one of them spills something on my new shoes?" "Even then."- 219”

“I'm not sure you're quite sensible of the honor I'm doing you," Jace said. "you'll be the first mundane who has ever been inside the Institute."

“As for this," Magnus said sliding the stele into Jace's jeans pocket, "keep it in your pants, Shadowhunter." - 219”

“I didn't get this dressed up to watch you mess around in the gutter with a bunch of motorcycles.""They are pretty to look at," said Jace. "You have to admit that.""So am I," said Isabelle.”

“I hate it when you answer a question with a question.""No you don't, you think it's charming.”

“Well I'd certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death.”

“Jace, on the other hand, looked like the sort of boy who'd come over to your house and burn it down for kicks.”

“Demon hunting and fashion," Clary said. "I never would have thought they went together.”

“Right, because I'm flat-chested and a midget.”

“If only Simon were here. He could probably bore you to sleep.”

“It's Magnus Bane." He grinned at Alec mockingly. "Rhymes with 'overcareful pain in the ass'.”

“You bled on the Speaking stars ...I bet there's a law somewhere about that.”

“It's so dark," she said lamely. "You want me to hold your hand?"Clary put both her hands behind her back like a small child. "Don't talk down to me.""Well, I could hardly talk up to you. You're too short.”

“Don't screech like that. You'll wake the dead.”

“We love reproducing. Its one of our favorite things.”

“I've met an attractive weasel or two in my time. He looks more like a rat."-pg.170-”

“Suddenly reminded, she clapped a hand over her mouth. "Oh- Simon!""No, I'm Jace," he said patiently. "Simon is the weaselly little one with the bad haircut and dismal fashion sense.”

“Somehow he managed to look cool despite the heat. It made Clary want to smack him.”

“He's got a great sense of humor for a guy who never says anything.”

“Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually, he offered to wake you up himself, but since its five a.m., I figured you'd be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.”

“I dont know," said Simon, "it doesn't sound so bad to me. I'd rather have someone mess around inside my head than chop it off.""Then you're a bigger idiot than you look.”

“Everything we need to know is locked up in your head, under those pretty red curls."Clary reached up to touch her hair protectively. "I dont think-""So what are you going to do?" Simon asked sharply. "Cut her head open to get at it?”

“Why are you such an asshat?""An asshat?" Jace looked as if he were about to laugh.”

“Do you want any soup?""No," said Jace."Do you think Hodge will want any soup?""No one wants any soup.""I want some soup," Simon said."No you dont," said Jace. "You just want to sleep with Isabelle.”

“If you knew how to cook, maybe I would eat.”

“Clary wondered what exactly peanut-fish-olive-tomato soup tasted like.”
