I appreciate the scientific rigor with which you've approached this project, Anna," said Christopher, who had gotten jam on his sleeve. "Though I don't think I could manage to collect that many names and also pursue science. Much too time-consuming."
Anna laughed. "How many names would you want to collect, then?"
Christopher tilted his head, a brief frown of concentration crossing his face, and did not reply.
"I would only want one," said Thomas.
Cordelia thought of the delicate tracery of the compass rose on Thomas's arm, and wondered if he had any special person in mind.
"Too late for me to only have one," declared Matthew airily. "At least I can hope for several names in a carefully but enthusiastically selected list."
"Nobody's ever tried to seduce me at all," Lucie announced in a brooding fashion. "There's no need to look at me like that, James. I wouldn't say yes, but I could immortalize the experience in my novel."
"It would be a very short novel, before we got hold of the blackguard and killed him," said James.
There was a chorus of laughter and argument. The afternoon sun was sinking in the sky, its rays catching the jeweled hilts of the knives in Anna's mantelpiece. They cast shimmering rainbow patterns on the gold-and-green walls. The light illuminated Anna's shabby-bright flat, making something in Cordelia's heart ache. It was such a homey place, in a way that her big cold house in Kensington was not.
"What about you, C ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
You look ill," Matthew observed. "Is it my dancing? Is it me personally?"
"Perhaps I'm nervous," she said. "Lucie did say you didn't like many people."
Matthew gave a sharp, startled laugh, before schooling his face back into a look of lazy amusement. "Did she? Lucie's a chatterbox."
"But not a liar," she said.
"Well, fear not. I do not dislike you. I hardly know you," said Matthew. "I do know your brother. He made my life miserable at school, and Christopher's, and James's."
"Alastair and I are very different," Cordelia said. She didn't want to say more than that. It felt disloyal to Alastair. "I like Oscar Wilde, for instance, and he does not."
The corner of Matthew's mouth curled up. "I see you go directly for the soft underbelly, Cordelia Carstairs. Have you really read Oscar's work?"
"Just Dorian Gray," Cordelia confessed. "It gave me nightmares."
"I should like to have a portrait in the attic," Matthew mused, "that would show all my sins, while I stayed young and beautiful. And not only for sinning purposes - imagine being able to try out new fashions on it. I could paint the portrait's hair blue and see how it looks."
"You don't need a portrait. You are young and beautiful," Cordelia pointed out.
"Men are not beautiful. Men are handsome," objected Matthew.
"Thomas is handsome. You are beautiful," said Cordelia, feeling the imp of the perverse stealing over her. Matthew was looking stubborn. "James is beautiful too, ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
If you were a truly dedicated brother Thomas, you would be at Babara's side," Anna said. "I would hope that if I collapsed, Christopher would weep inconsolably and be incapable of consuming meat pies. ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
Demons do like to take up residence in ruins, especially those where there are remnants of black magic," said Christopher. "And we all know what Grandfather Benedict was up to in that house. It's why he turned into a worm."
"Ah," said Matthew, "fond family memories. ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
Thomas was frowning. "My aunt Tatiana is mad. My father has often said so, that his sister was driven to madness by what happened to her father and her husband. She blames our parents for their deaths."
"But James has never done anything to her," said Christopher, his eyebrows knitting together.
"He's a Herondale," said Thomas. "That's enough."
"That's ridiculous," Christopher said. "It is as if one was bitten by a duck and years later one shot a completely different duck and ate it for dinner, and called that revenge."
"Please do not use metaphors, Christopher," said Matthew. "It gives me the pip."
"This is bad enough without mentioning ducks," said James. He had never fancied ducks since one had bitten him in Hyde Park as a small child. ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own generation and the next generation know me, too. ~ Christopher Lee
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Lee
Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. ~ Christopher Earle
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Earle
I had failed him; I knew it. But I could do no more. It was beyond my strength.
That night, I think, he explored the uttermost depths of his loneliness. ~ Christopher Isherwood
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Isherwood
It is really amazing to be able to do cinematic, big feature style film music on a weekly basis and do it in LA, on a big scoring stage, on a studio lot, and do it with the right players and make it sound great. ~ Christopher Lennertz
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Lennertz
No. Trust me, you have to leave me now so you won't later. I'll see you again. ~ Christopher Moore
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Moore
For me, as a film goer, I like nothing more than to sit in the cinema, have the lights go down and not know what I'm about to see or unfold on-screen. Every time we go to make a film, we do everything we can to try to systematise things so we're able to make the film in private, so that when it's finished it's up to the audience to make of it what they will. ~ Christopher Nolan
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Nolan
You know what, man? I am going to literally - if (Palin) gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready - because you know what? It's for my country. It's for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it's for my country. ~ Christopher Titus
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Titus
Uncle Gabriel was already in the courtyard. His face had turned an alarming shade of puce. He was shouting something about thieving Herondales. ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
I try to make the writing as regular and regimented as possible. I usually get up at around 5 a.m. and read what I wrote the day before. Some of the time, after I read, I think the writing's very good and some of the time I feel embarrassed by what I've written. You have to learn not to pay too much attention to these feelings. ~ Christopher Paul Curtis
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Paul Curtis
Women do not think with logic and discretion but with emotions of the heart ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
Soon, nobody was leaving their cubicles to talk anymore, and we were either e-mailing each other random thoughts or scheduling meetings, or speaking over an instant message chat. ~ Christopher Herz
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Herz
Once we choose hope, everything is possible. ~ Christopher Reeve
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Reeve
But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them. ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Columbus
Even in love we suffer, because in that very moment of love, Time, the insatiable Devourer, is destroying what we love ... or ourselves. ~ Christopher Dutton
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Dutton
America is better when all of us take care of all of us. ~ Christopher Reeve
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Reeve
We were seekers. You are that which is sought, Joshua. You are the source. The end is divinity, in the beginning is the word. You are the word. ~ Christopher Moore
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Moore
That holy shape becomes a devil best. ~ Christopher Marlowe
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Marlowe
When you're onstage and you know you're bombing, that's very, very scary. Because you know you gotta keep going - you're bombing, but you can't stop. ~ Christopher Walken
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Walken
There comes a time for everybody when words and reasons can become such a great weariness. ~ Christopher Pike
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Pike
Working with Christopher, he convinced me he could fly, and he's convinced me he's going to walk again. ~ Richard Donner
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Richard Donner
The silver-haired elf woman Yaela had knelt by the side of the grave, taken an acorn from the pouch on her belt, and planted it directly above Wyrden's chest. And then the twelve elves, Arya included, sang to the acorn, which took root and sprouted and grew twining upward, reaching and grasping toward the sky like a clutch of hands. When the elves had finished, the leafy oak stood twenty feet high, with long strings of green flowers at the end of every branch. Eragon had thought it was the nicest burial he had ever attended. ~ Christopher Paolini
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Paolini
Jefferson writes dismissively of slaves that "their griefs are transient." American white supremacists to this day maintain that blacks are "mud people" because their lack of conscience prevents them from blushing - they are not capable of summoning "blood in the face," as the ~ Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I'm just trying to survive and stay relevant! That's all anyone in the music business can ask for. ~ Christopher Tin
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Tin
I think my perspective is unique, and I want to make sure that perspective is memorialized and preserved. ~ Christopher Darden
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Darden
Christopher Hitchens was a great warrior, a magnificent orator, a pugilist and a gentleman. He was kind, but he took no prisoners when arguing with idiots. ~ Richard Dawkins
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Richard Dawkins
True, but there was a plaque depicted in the painting, hung around the figure's neck, and on it was writing in Sumerian cuneiform. As you know, in addition to my other studies, I am an amateur necrolinguist - "

"It means the likes to lick the dead," explained Henri.

"It means he studies dead languages," corrected Lucien. ~ Christopher Moore
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Moore
Command is often not what you do but the way you do it. ~ Christopher Vokes
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Vokes
He felt water run down his back from the damp brickwork he was sitting against, and as he worried distantly about corrosion he realised you can always fall a little further. A moment ago he thought he'd bottomed out, but now he was concerned about personal rust. Mother of fuck. ~ Christopher Brookmyre
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Brookmyre
Tis a fact I've learned all too well that words cast out in the light of day, like doves, oft come home to roost in the darkest hours.
-Christopher ~ Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
From jygging vaines of riming mother wits,
And such conceits as clownage keepes in pay,
Weele leade you to the stately tent of War:
Where you shall heare the Scythian Tamburlaine,
Threatning the world with high astounding tearms
And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword.
View but his picture in this tragicke glasse,
And then applaud his fortunes if you please. ~ Christopher Marlowe
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Marlowe
We are no longer awkward younglings. Our enemies may be fearsome, but so are we. It is time we remind them of that. ~ Christopher Paolini
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Paolini
Even your breakfast burrito plays a role; Lieberman's investigations had revealed that as our diet shifted over the centuries from chewy stuff like raw roots and wild game and gave way to mushy cooked staples like spaghetti and ground beef, our faces began to shrink. Ben Franklin's face was chunkier than yours; Caesar's was bigger than his. ~ Christopher McDougall
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher McDougall
And then, after a while, she said, 'Christopher, let me hold your hand. Just for once. Just for me. Will you? I won't hold it hard. ~ Mark Haddon
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Mark Haddon
As the carriage rolled under the Institute's gates, James saw his parents standing in the courtyard.
"And where have you been?" Will demanded as James clambered out of the carriage. The others leaped down behind him, the girls, being in gear, needing no help to dismount. "You stole our carriage."
James wished he could tell his father the truth, but that would be breaking their sworn promise to Ragnor.
"It's only the second-best carriage," James protested.
"Remember when Papa stole Uncle Gabriel's carriage? It's a proud family tradition," said Lucie, as the group of them approached the Institute steps.
"I did not raise you to be horse thieves and scallywags," said Will. "And I recall very clearly that I told you - "
"Thank you for letting them borrow the carriage to come and get me," said Cordelia. Her eyes were wide, and she looked entirely innocent. James felt an amused stab of surprise: she was an interestingly skilful liar. "I had very much wanted to come to the Institute and see what I could do to help."
Will softened immediately. "Of course. You are always welcome here, Cordelia. ~ Cassandra Clare
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Cassandra Clare
We all know that as we form thoughts, they form deep channels in our minds and in our brains. Chronic pain is an example. If you burn yourself, you pull your hand away. But if you're still in pain in six months' or six years' time, it's because these circuits are producing pain that's no longer helping you. ~ Christopher DeCharms
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher DeCharms
If we had more Spiritual teachers around, then perhaps more people would be educated about the inadequacy of the finite to satisfy the Infinite. Physical things come and go; your everlasting soul is forever. ~ Christopher Sartain
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Sartain
We're real fortunate to have such a unique cast. ~ Christopher Meloni
Christopher Lightwood quotes by Christopher Meloni
We do not stop running because we get old, we get old because we stop running ~ Christopher McDougall
