“I should have warned her about your habit of never doing what you're told." Jace squinted at her. "Are those Isabelle's clothes? They look ridiculous on you." "I could point out that you burned my clothes." -Jace and Clary pg. 63”

“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-”

“... In fact, it wouldn't hurt if you just spent the next few days inside. You can lock yourself in your room like Isabelle." "I'm not gonna do that." "Of course your not," said Jace, "because you live to torture me, don't you?" "Not everything, Jace, is about you," Clary said furiously.

Unless Isabelle makes it.”

“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-”
