There are memories that time does not erase... Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.

Of course he loves me. I’m his sister.”“Blood isn’t love,” said Magnus, and his voice was bitter.

You had to know a person well to make them laugh like that.

Every time I think I'm missing a piece of me, you give it back.

She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?

She had never imagined she had the power to make someone else so happy. And not a magical power, either--a purely human one.

Everything that happens to you matters to me.

Not enough," he said, letting her hair slip through his fingers. "If I kiss you all day, everyday, for the rest of my life, it won't be enough.

You know what the worst thing I can imagine is? Simon had said. Not trusting someone I love.

She soared above the ground, and he kept her tethered to the earth. Without him she would be lost among the clouds.

As long as I can dream, I will dream of you.

There are some kinds of wounds you can get, internal injuries. You don't know what's wrong with you, but you're bleeding to death slowly inside.

I just don't see why the past has to matter.

Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.

People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters.

You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.

Growing up happens when you start having things you look back on and wish you could change -Clary Fray

If there were such a thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood.

One does no question miracles, or complain that they are no constructed perfectly to one's liking.

You serve a greater cause. Your life is not yours to throw away (Magnus Bane)

Everything changes in my life, and the world stays the same.

Hate is nothing when weighed against survival. (Valentine)

She supposed they were imperfections, those marks, but they didn't feel that way to her; they were a history, cut into his body: the map of a life of endless war.

The world is terrible," said Mark tonelessly. "And some are drawn down into it and drown there, and some rise above and carry others with them.

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

Jesus!" Luke exclaimed."Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling.

It means 'Shadowhunters: Looking Better in Black Than the Widows of our Enemies Since 1234'.

That does it," said Jace. "I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year.""Why?" Isabelle said."So you can look up 'fun.' I'm not sure you know what it means.

Investigation?" Isabelle laughed. "Now we're detectives? Maybe we should all have code names.""Good idea," said Jace. "I shall be Baron Hotschaft Von Hugenstein.

The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.

It's not gray," Clary felt compelled to point out. "It's green.""If there was such a thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood," said Jace.

You're an idiot.""I've never claimed to be otherwise.

A diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?

My rapier wit hides my inner pain.

Alec looked at her and shook his head. "How do you manage never to get mud on your clothes?"Isabelle shrugged philosophically. "I'm pure at heart. It repels the dirt.

We need to talk. All of us About what we're going to do now.""I was going to watch Project Runway.

There's no need to clarify my finger snap," said Magnus. "The implication was clear in the snap itself.

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

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

It’s fascinating. You know all these words, and they’re all English, but when you string them together into sentences, they just don’t make any sense.

I don't do what I'm told, but I might do what you want if you ask me nicely.

Going round and around inside a dryer can be fatal, whereas pasta is rarely fatal. Unless Isabelle makes it.

Pretty soon the only people left without a girlfriend will be me and Wendell the school janitor, and he smells like windex.""At least you know he's still available.

Lawful good to lawful evil!" said Simon, pleased."He's quoting Dungeons and Dragons," said Clary. "Ignore him.

Also, I'm sleeping with your mom. Just thought you should know.

So it's true. You can walk in sunlight. I thought perhaps it might have worn off.""If I feel the urge to burst into flames, I'll let you know.

I can only assume," said Jace, "that mortal emotions amuse you because you have none of your own.

Look on the bright side," said Simon, "If they need a human sacrifice, you can always offer me. I'm not sure the rest of you qualify anyway.

I'm sorry. I use my rapier wit to hide my inner pain.

As it turned out, everyone wanted a doughnut. Jace wanted two.

Ah,” said Magnus. “Nerd love. It is a beautiful thing, while also being an object of mockery and hilarity for those of us who are more sophisticated.

You're Valentine's son. I'm sure you're the one the Queen really wants to see. Besides, you're charming. Maybe not at the moment.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.

molesting the vampire while he's too weak to fight back, iz? jace asked. i'm pretty sure that violates at least one of the accords.

I'm the warlock who's here to cure you. Didn't they tell you I was coming?""I know who you are, but..." Maia looked dazed. "You look so...so...shiny.

Never doubt my weaseling abilities, Shadowhunter, for they are epic and memorable in their scope.

Nobody calls me 'blondie' and keeps their kneecaps.

Enormous? Did you just call me FAT? I am not fat. - Jace

No' is a magical word," he told her. "Here's how it goes. You say, 'Simon, I have an insane, suicidal plan. Would you like to help me carry it out?' And I say, "Why, no.

Fire wants to burn Water wants to flow Air wants to rise Earth wants to bindChaos wants to devourCal wants to live

Jace suggested that the cast of "Gilligan's Island" could go do something anatomically unlikely with themselves.

What makes you think that Valentine's change of plans had anything to do with your brother?" "Because only Jace can piss someone off that much.

Jace snorted so loudly that she turned on him with a frown. He wiggled his mud-caked fingers at her. His nails were black crescents. "Filthy inside and out.

i told you he'd freak out, she siad. didn't i?ah, the i told you so, jace said. always a classy move

Every time I annoy him he retreats into his No Mundanes Allowed tree house." Simon pointed at Jace.

The best lies are based on thetruth, at least in part

All knowledge hurts.

We are special, unusual, unique people. That means that we must be bold and proud, but also careful. Don’t think you have so much to prove that it makes you foolish.

Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.

But you hate poetry!Yes, but you make me want to write it.

He wasn’t ready for death, but if it came today, he would face it with his head held high and Alexander Lightwood’s name on his lips.

It was stupid to hope, she knew. But sometimes hope was all you had.
