Quotes Cassandra Clare

„Do you want to tell me what this is about, or should I just call the police?“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

"And tell them what?" Jace said witheringly. "That invisible people are bothering you? Trust me, little girl, the police aren't going to arrest someone they can't see."
Clary and Jace, pg. 44
The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones (2007)

„I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know.“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

"I know. Every time you almost die, I almost die myself."
Clary and Jace, pg.449
The Mortal Instruments, City of Ashes (2008)

„Are we long-lost friends, by chance?“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

"No, we never got along all that well. Long-lost acquaintances? Compadres? My cat liked you."
Simon Lewis and Magnus Bane, pg. 689
The Mortal Instruments, City of Heavenly Fire (2014)

„I feel a kinship with you, too, you who have lost both brother and father. I know you have been judged and spoken of as the daughter of Valentine Morgenstern, and now the sister of Jonathan. There will always be those who want to tell you who you are based on your name or the blood in your veins. Do not let people decide who you are. Decide for yourself. That freedom is not a gift; it is a birthright. I hope that you and Jace will use it.“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

Tessa Gray, to Clary Fray, pg. 716
The Mortal Instruments, City of Heavenly Fire (2014)

Feeling, Sister, People, Daughters

„But of course you should have retreated at once from the dominant male. Are you an idiot? You are extremely lucky he was distracted from ripping out your throat by the fruit. He thought you were trying to steal his females.“

— Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

"Pardon me, but we did not have the time to exchange that kind of personal information. I could not have known! Moreover, I wish to assure both of you that I did not make any amorous advances on female monkeys. [...] I didn't actually see any, so I didn't get the chance."
Giulana and Magnus Bane in 1791, p. 13.
The Bane Chronicles, What Really Happened in Peru (2013)

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

Jace to Simon, pg. 225
The Mortal Instruments, City of Ashes (2008)

„I always thought being a Shadowhunter meant that I had to approve of what the Clave did. I thought otherwise I wasn't loyal. I made excuses for them. I always have. But I feel like whenever we have to fight, we're fighting a war on two fronts. We fight the enemy and we fight the Clave, too. I don't--I just don't know how I feel anymore.“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

Alec Lightwood, to Jace, Clary, Simon, and Isabelle, pg. 435
The Mortal Instruments, City of Heavenly Fire (2014)

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

Jace and Simon, pg. 171
The Mortal Instruments, City of Ashes (2008)

„I'm a warrior. I was brought up as a warrior. I didn't have toys, I had weapons. I slept with a wooden sword until I was five. My first books were medieval demonologies with illuminated pages. The first songs I learned were chants to banish demons. I know what brings me peace, and it isn't sandy beaches or chirping birds in rain forests. I want a weapon in my hand and a strategy to win."
"So you're saying what brings you peace is war.“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

Clary Fray and Jace Herondale, pg. 405
The Mortal Instruments, City of Heavenly Fire (2014)

„Whatever it is, don't do it! It's a bad idea."
"And why would you say that?"
"Because they're the only kind you have. I have known you a long time, and I am absolutely certain on the subject. If you are planning to become a pirate again, it's a bad idea."
"I don't repeat my mistakes."
"You're right. you make all new and even worse mistakes. Don't do it, whatever it is. Don't lead a werewolf uprising, don't do anything that might accidentally contribute to the apocalypse, and don't start your own line of glitter and try to sell it at Sephora.“

— Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments

"That last idea has real merit."
Catarina Loss and Magnus Bane, pg. 134
The Mortal Instruments, City of Heavenly Fire (2014)

"Oh, you know. The usual. A lifetime's supply of Knicks tickets."“
