Endless hope, endless disappointment.
[Jem] looked from Will to Tessa and raised his silvery eyebrows. A miracle, he said. You got him to speak.Just to shout at me, really, said Tessa. Not quite loaves and fishes.
You're a disaster for us, Clary! You're a mundane, you'll always be one, you'll never be a Shadowhunter! You don't know how to think like we do, think about what's best for everyone-- all you think ab...
You had to know a person well to make them laugh like that.
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.
Will: Nice place to live, isn't it? Let's hope they left something behind other than filth. Forwarding addresses, a few severed limbs, a prostitute or two ...Jem: Indeed. Perhaps, if we're fortunate,...
Will is… difficult, Jem said. But family is difficult. If I didn’t think the Institute was the best place for you, Tessa, I wouldn’t say it was. And one can build one’s own family. I know you feel inh...
What's the point in wasting a perfectly good brick wall when you have someone to throw against it, that's what I always say.
There was an electric anger in his gaze, and a sort of challenge that made Simon long to hit him with something heavy. Like a pickup truck.

She opened her mouth to answer, but he was already kissing her. She had kissed him so many times—soft gentle kisses, hard and desperate ones, brief brushes of the lips that said good-bye, and kisses t...
People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but it's the way you live your life that matters. And the people you know. Valentine was Hodge's friend, and I don't thin...
One of the Silent Brothers is here to see you. Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually he offered to wake you himself, but since it's 5 a.m., I figured you'd be less cranky if you had something nice to...
It's all right to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.
Isabelle was holding an umbrella. It was clear plastic, decorated with decals of colorful flowers. It was one of the girliest things Simon had ever seen, and he didn’t blame Alec for ducking out from...
I was even a little glad that if it wasn’t going to be me she wanted, it was going to be someone who really deserved her.
I should have guessed you were Jace's sister, he said. You both have the same artistic talent.Clary paused, her foot on the lowest stair. She was taken aback. Jace can draw?Nah. When Alec smiled, his...
