“You can keep it a secret…. But secrets have their own weight, and it can be a very heavy one.”

“Of course, the guests were also staring because they know of my relationship with Camille, and are wondering what we might be doing here in the library… alone." He wiggled his eyebrows at Tessa.”

“You are the central point about which his world spins.”

“I want to kiss you one more time before I die.”

“Of course it's not okay with me, I'm a teenage boy. As far as I'm concerned, this is the worst thing that's happenedd since I found out why Magnus was banned from Peru" - Jace”

“We needn't talk about Tessa if you don't want to, you know."
"It's not Tessa." This was true. Will hadn't been thinking of Tessa. He was getting good at not thinking about her, really; all it took was determination and practice.”

“What would you give someone who likes to play the piano?”
“A piano.”
“Simon.”
“A really huge metronome that could also double as a weapon?”

“There were some memories, though, that never faded.”

“They confused beauty with innocence and harmlessness.”

“You couldnt erase everything that caused you pain with recollection. Every memory was valuable; even the bad ones”

“For a moment she just stared, wondering if there were another girl staying here, or if Sebastian had taken to cross-dressing.”

“Magnus, remember what happened the last time you tried to tango. Your shoe flew off and nearly killed someone."

"It was a metaphor. He's a Shadowhunter, he's a Lightwood, and he's into blonds. He's a dating hazard.”

“Well, I guess I'll see you around. You're the first Shadowhunter I've ever met."
"That's too bad,"said Jace, "since all the ones you meet from now on will be a terrible letdown.”

“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.”

“The good suffer, the evil flourish, and all that is mortal passes away.”

“Every time you almost die, I almost die myself.”

“I didn't know," he said. "I didn't know you needed me."
Her voice shook. "I always need you”

“Okay. I've got a good one." Simon stroked Isabelle's hair feeling her lashes flutter against his neck as she closed her eyes. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.”

“Raphael snapped, "This isn't funny."
"That's why no one's laughing." Jace stood, hauling Raphael upright, jamming the tip of his knife between Raphael's shoulder blades.”

“Jace was probably the safest boyfriend in the world since he was pretty much banned from (1) getting angry, (2) making sexual advances, and (3) doing anything that would produce an adrenaline rush.”

“I screwed her over. I didn't want to see her screwed over by someone else.”

“Hope is not an illusion.”

“Jace shook his head. 'I don't care if I did just set myself on fire,' he said. 'I'm not hugging you.'
Simon sighed and dropped his arms. 'Your loss,' he said. 'If you'd gone in, I would've let you, but honestly it would have been a pity hug.”

“To lose an arm or a leg would be painful, but to lose the central truth of your life felt—fatal.”

“Mr. Lightwood," she said, raising herself up on her elbows. "Are thoseunder your bed?”

“I'm pure at heart. It repels the dirt.”

“He was the one she was doing all this for, but sometimes she missed him so much it felt like she swallowed broken glass.”

“Can I touch your mango?”

“I know there are monsters on this earth,' said Tessa. 'You cannot tell me otherwise. I have seen them.”
