Cassandra Clare cytaty

strona 4

„Co robisz? – zapytał Alec, klękając przy migotliwej ścianie więzienia.
(…)
– A tak, przyszło mi do głowy, że poleżę sobie na podłodze i trochę powije się z bólu – odburknął. – To mnie relaksuje.
– Naprawdę? A… jesteś sarkastyczny.”

„Chłopiec już nigdy więcej nie płakał i nigdy nie zapomniał tego, czego się nauczył: że kochać to niszczyć i że być kochanym to znaczy zostać zniszczonym.”

„Mogłaby zamknąć oczy, udawać, że wszystko jest w porządku. Wiedziała jednak, że nie da się żyć z zamkniętymi oczami.”

„Gdybyś był w połowie tak zabawny, za jakiego się uważasz, mój chłopcze, byłbyś dwa razy bardziej zabawny niż jesteś.”

„(…) bardzo łatwo jest stracić wszystko, co uważało się za dane na zawsze.”

„Kochać to niszczyć, być kochanym to zostać zniszczonym”

„A potem zrobił krok w powietrze, tak spokojnie, jakby schodził z ganku. Clary krzyknęła głośno, kiedy runął w dół jak kamień… I wylądował lekko na stopach, tuż przed nią. Clary wytrzeszczyła oczy i rozdziawiła usta, kiedy wstał z lekkiego przysiadu i uśmiechnął się do niej szeroko.
– Gdybym powiedział, że właśnie do was wpadłem, pewnie uznałabyś to za oklepany żart.”

„„Trzeba zawsze uważać na książki”, powiedziała Tessa, „a to, co jest w nich, ponieważ słowa mają moc, by nas zmienić”.”

“Is there some particular reason that you're here?"…
"Not this again."
"Not what again?" said Clary.
"Every time I annoy him, he retreats into his No Mundanes Allowed tree house." Simon pointed at Jace.”

“"I forgot that's what gets you all hot and bothered, Jace. Girls killing things."
"I like anyone killing things," He said equably, "Especially me."”

“I have a fetish for damsels in distress.”
“Don’t be sexist.”
“Not at all. My services are also available to gentlemen in distress. It’s an equal opportunity fetish.”

“No. That's Clary; shes's my best friend." Simon pocketed his phone. "And she has a boyfriend. Like, really, really, really has a boyfriend. The nuclear bomb of boyfriends. Trust me on this one.”

“I've heard the word 'fear'. I simply choose to believe it doesn't apply to me.”

“As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?”

“A very magnanimous statement, Gideon,” said Magnus.
“I’m Gabriel.”
Magnus waved a hand. “All Lightwoods look the same to me.”

“So what was that all about?"
"I think," Jace said, "that she asked if she could touch my mango."
"Shethat?"
Jace shrugged. "Yeah, then she gave me her number.”

“A little girl robbed you?" Tessa said.
"Actually, she wasn’t a little girl at all, as it turns out, but a midget in a dress with a penchant for violence, who goes by the name of Six-Fingered Nigel."
"Easy mistake to make," Jem said.”

“I have a high pain threshold. In fact, it's more of a large and tastfully decorated foyer than a threshold. But I do get easily bored”

“And next time you're planning to injure yourself to get me attention, just remember that a little sweet talk works wonders.”

“Drowning yourself won't help, she told herself sternly. Now, drowning Will, on the other hand…”

“Hearts are breakable and I think even when you heal, you're never what you were before.”

“When you find a man you wish to marry, Tessa, remember this: You will know what kind of man he is not by the things he says, but by the things he does.”

“The way he looked at you. I got it then. He loved you, and it was killing him. He won't get over you, Clary, he can't.”

“"I guess it's true what they say. There are no straight men in the trenches."
"That's atheists, jackass. There are no atheists in the trenches."”

“Since I've met you, everything I've done has been in part because of you. I can't untie myself from you, Clary- not my heart or my blood or my mind or any other part of me. And I don't want to."
~Jace Wayland”

“aren't you, uh… reproducing?

"sure, we love reproducing it's one of our favorite things.”

“Will smiled the way Lucifer might have smiled, moments before he fell from Heaven.”

“Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests."
Jace edged into the doorway, sizing up Magnus with his eyes. "Even if one of them spills a drink on my new shoes?"

"Even then.”

“I was alive when the Dead Sea was just a lake that was feeling a little poorly.”

“All knowledge hurts.”

“If you do not help me," Tessa said to Jem, "I swear, I will change into you, and I will lift him myself. And then everyone here will see what you look like in a dress." She fixed him with a look. "Do you understand?”

“Fate is never fair. You are caught in a current much stronger than you are; struggle against it and you'll drown not just yourself but those who try to save you. Swim with it. and you'll survive”

“Oh, God, the lovebirds,” Magnus said, pulling the pillow off his face. “I hate happy couples.”

“Your Bracelet," she said. "Acheronta movebo.' It doesn't mean 'Thus always to tyrants.' That's 'sic semper tyrannis.' This is from Virgil. 'Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.' If I cannot move Heaven, I will raise Hell.”

“Why did he kiss you?" she said.”

“And I suppose you know who Magnus’ father is?” Luke said.
“I paid a lot of money once to find it out,” Raphael said.”

“I am Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
