“You ask a lot of questions, don't you?" "My brother always says curiosity is my besetting sin.”

“I don't care what you think. You're not my brother," Clary said. "You're a murderer.""I really don't see how those things cancel each other out," said Sebastian.”

“I’d rather have you in my life even as a brother than not at all—”

“I love you, Clary wanted to say. And, I would do it again. I would always ask for you.”

“You see it, don't you, James? Without Tessa there is nothing for me--no joy, no light, no life. If you loved me, you would let me have her. You can't love her as I do. No one could. If you are truly my brother, you would do this for me.”

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

“You don't believe me?" Jace asked. "Fine. Go ahead. Kiss me right now."Alec stared at him in horror."Exactly. Despite my staggering good lucks, you actually don't like me that way.”
