– 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.”

„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.

"Simon," said Simon. "if I'm going to die for you all, the least you could do is remember my name."………

"Who's Sheldon?" Said Isabelle.”

“You don’t draw, and I don’t breathe. Not so much like last year”

“It’s that I think Will is angry with me,” Tessa explained. “So whatever he told you—”
He laughed. “Will is angry with everyone,” he said. “I don’t let it color my judgment.”

“well that's convenient, i guess blessings are easier to come by than i thought. maybe i should ask for blessings on my mission against all those who wear white after labor day”

“The letter I received said you had need of my particular talents, but I must confess that I have so many talents that I am not sure which one you require.”

“She was like an avenging angel, her vengeance swift and deadly.”

“Go forth and light the lights of war”

“Magnus placed an order with the room service, who had by now stopped questioning Mr. Bane's unusual needs for things like twenty-four plates of scrambled eggs and “”.”

“For the first time, he looked at her, and she wasn’t a stranger, she was Clary—his friend. His family. The girl he’d sworn always to protect. The girl he loved as fiercely as he loved himself.”

“Now that the real and the imagined had collided, he wondered if she, like he, longed for the past, for the normal. He wondered if normalcy was something, like vision or silence, you didn't realize was precious until you lost it.”

“Don't you hate it? Not ever saying how you really feel?”

“And if there were two things he believed were limitless, it was love and imagination.”

“Vampires bore a grudge longer than any technically living creatures, and whenever they were in a bad temper, they expressed themselves through murder.”

“I will not hang back here in Alicante while Magnus is in danger. Go without me, and you disrespect our parabatai oaths, you disrespect me as a shadowhunter, and you disrespect the fact that this is my battle too.”

“I would rather insult you than lose you, he said, and before any of them could make a move to stop him, he cast both items into the fire.”

“And we believe in his promises. Therefore you can never lose hope -  hatikva - because if you keep hope alive, it will keep you alive.”

“I will find you," Ragnor told him. "I will find whatever chest of absurd clothes you have. And I will bring a llama into the place where you sleep and make sure that it urinates on everything you possess.”

“All Lightwoods look the same to me”

“Ladies' hearts are like china on a mantelpiece. There are so many of them, and it is so easy to break them without noticing.”

“Simon was still trying to work out how Shadowhunter government and also Shadowhunter family trees worked. They all seemed to be related to each other and it was very disturbing.”

“That the wall is coming down.”

“Because that which was new was almost always temporary. And that which was temporary broke your heart.”

“If you're really tired, I could put you to sleep," he said. "Tell you a bedtime story."
She looked at him. "Are you serious?"
"I'm always serious”

“The only alternative seems to be doing nothing…and doing nothing, I find, rarely accomplishes anything”

“Your parents could always hurt you, no matter how old you were.”

“We were once getting married. And I have loved you all this time- a century and a half. -Jem”

“It's hard to believe how much light you cand find in the darkness, when you have someone who loves you.”

“How is Ty? There is nothing wrong with Ty, but he is different, and the Clave hates all that is different. They will try to punish him, for being who he is. They would punish a star for burning.”
