Cassandra Clare cytaty

strona 64

„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”.”

“The only way you would have failed," she said, "is if you had.”

“You're quite wrong, you know. I am the most permanent person that you will eve meet," said Magnus, his voice breathless with laughter and his eyes stung a little by tears. "It is only that it never makes a difference.”

“Julian: “Wikipedia knows about everything. It might be run by warlocks.”
Emma: “You think that’s what they do all day in the Spiral Labyrinth? Run Wikipedia?”
Julian: “I admit it seems like a letdown.”

“I think he's jealous.”

“I was going to put what birthday it was on the sign," he said, "but Jace said that after twenty, you're just old, so it doesn't matter anyway."
Jace stopped with his fork halfway to his mouth.
"I said that?”

“Belatedly, Clary recalled something. "I thought you guys said onlyof the vampire bikes could fly?"… [Jace:]"Only some of them can!" "How did you know this was one of them?" "I didn't!" he shouted gleefully…”

“He had never felt entirely comfortable around Raphael. Raphael seemed to him like Loki or some other trickster God, sometimes working for good and sometimes for evil, but always in his own interests.”

“Whatever the Clave was discussing, the Council meeting was dragging on brutally late. “But he knows New York. He doesn’t know Alicante—”

“Some Laws were meant to be broken.”

“I will always look to you for light”

“If there was an arrow speeding toward Will, I would be bound by oath to step in front of it.'
'Handy, that,' said Will.”

“That sounds almost practiced, James Carstairs. How many girls have you made swoon with that observation?”

“I saw you in the library.
With—”
“ Colonel Mustard?”

“You ate something yesterday. You sure?"asked Simon
Jace shrugged."Well, I wouldnt swear on a stack of Bibles. I think it was yesterday, though.”

“Oh, Simon, Simon, Simon,” said Jace. “You may not remember, but that’s kind of our thing.”

“Check you out,' said Magnus. 'My famous boyfriend, inspiration to the masses.”

“Thank you, Codex, because I didn't know what a knife was.”

“Uh, Magnus has a boyfriend,” said Simon.

There was a frightening glint in Julie’s eye. “There are some mountains you still want to climb, even though there are ‘No Trespassing’ signs up.”

“There was a brief pause for them to evaluate the full horror of the situation. Magnus. personally, was in horror up to his elbows.”

“Trains are great dirty smoky things," said Will. "You won't like it."
Tessa was unmoved. "I won't know if I like it until I try it, will I?"
"I've never swam naked in the Thames, but I know I wouldn't like it.”

“Clary curled up on the ground seeing in front of her not the shell of a destroyed town but the eyes of the brother and the sister that she would never have.”

“Will stared down at his hands. "My whole life wrecked, destroyed…"

"You're seventeen," Magnus said. "You can't have wrecked a life you've barely lived.”

“Few can claim a single angel who guards them. But you can.”

“It’s okay,” said Alec. “I once walked in on you and Isabelle. I guess turnabout’s fair play.” He frowned. “Although you two were in my room at the time, so actually I think you still owe me.”

“God, I hate rogue necromancers," said Magnus. "Why can't they just follow the rules?"
"Probably because the biggest rule is 'no necromancy'?" Emma suggested”

“you know this means that what we did-what we almost did in Paris-"
"Going to the Eiffel Tower?”

“As Oscar Wilde once said, "To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness.”

“Will looking after her, sighed. not for her, he said under his breath, though there was no one to hear him, for me…. And he leaned his head against the cold iron gate.”

“It won't be pleasant."
"Nothing ever is.”
