We Shadowhunters, we put ourselves in danger, every hour, every day. I think sometimes we are reckless with our hearts the way we are with our lives. When we give them away, we give every piece. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Oh, God," Magnus said. "They're dead. They're all dead. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I love you too, he said. God, I love you, Isabelle. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Something snapped inside Maryse. He is not a Herondale. He is a Lightwood. Jace Lightwood. He's my son. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Alec looked impressed. "I didn't know all that."
Jace hopped on the windowsill and swung his legs. "Not all of us sleep through history lessons."
"I do not
"
"Oh yes you do, and drool on the desk besides."
"Shut up said Magnus, but he said it quite mildly. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Fine," Kyle said. "I'm a werewolf. I'm not part of a pack, but I do have an alliance. Have you heard of the Praetor Lupus?"
"I've heard of lupus," said Simon. "Isn't it a kind of disease? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You don't get it, Clary. You don't understand what it's like to live always at war, to grow up with battle and sacrifice. I guess it's not your fault. It's just how you were brought up- ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The Law is hard, but it is the Law. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
They are pretty to look at," - Jace Wayland ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Just kissing? How quickly you dismiss our love. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I won't be just your friend. I love you, Maia. I'm in love with you. I always have been. I always will be. Just being your friend would kill me - Jordan ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Jace's arm looked like a map: runes spread down onto his collarbone and chest, the backs of his hands.
The road map of their bravery and hopes, their dreams and desires, marked clearly on their bodies. Shadowhunters weren't always the most forthcoming of people, but their skins were honest. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You know," Clary said, "most psychologists agree that hostility is really just sublimated sexual attraction. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Though Alec had never seen the occupants of the first floor loft, they seemed to be engaged in a tempestuous romance. Once there had been a bunch of someone's belongings strewn all over the landing with a note attached to a jacket lapel addressed to "A lying liar who lies." Right now there was a bouquet of flowers taped to the door with a card tucked among the blooms that read I'M SORRY. That was the thing about New York: you always knew more about your neighbors' business than you wanted to. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
At last he reached out and with a gentle hand, closed Valentine's eyes.
"Ave atque vale, Shadowhunter," he said. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The one thing about 'Beautiful Creatures,' 'The Host' and 'The Mortal Instruments,' which are all well-made movies, is that they were all infected with a dreadful sincerity. ~ Mark Waters
Mortal Instruments quotes by Mark Waters
He seemed only ... annoyed. Annoyed, and sweaty, and hot.
"Yeah, well," he said, "the next time you decide to sneak out of our magically warded apartment through a door that shouldn't really exist, leave a note. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
ducking glass mole' - Alec Lightwood ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I have not slept.
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream:
The Genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council; and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection. ~ William Shakespeare
Mortal Instruments quotes by William Shakespeare
He knew Alec enough by now to know the conflicting impulses that warred in him. He was conscientious, the kind of person who believed that the others around him were so much more important than he was, who already believed he was letting everybody down. And he was honest, the kind of person that was naturally open about all he felt and wanted. Alec's virtues had made a trap for him; these two good qualities had collided painfully. He felt he could not be honest without disappointing everyone he loved. It was a hideous conundrum for him. It was as if the world had been designed to make him unhappy. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
My shoulder will never be the same. I expect you to nurse me back to health. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The Mortal Instruments series is a story world that I love to live in. Beautiful! ~ Stephenie Meyer
Mortal Instruments quotes by Stephenie Meyer
If you knew how to cook, maybe I would eat," Jace muttered.
Isabelle froze, her spoon poised dangerously. "What did you say?"
Jace edged toward the fridge. "I said I'm going to look for a snack to eat."
That's what I thought you said." Isabelle turned her attention to the soup. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
How did you jump off the cathedral roof and not die?" - Clary Fray ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Just kissing? How quicky you dismiss our love. -Jace ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Jace," she said. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"Because you're lying to me. And you're lying to yourself." Jace's eyes were blazing, and even though his hands were stuffed into his pockets, she could see that they were knotted into fists. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I should have warned her about your habit of never doing what you're told." Jace squinted at her. "Are those Isabelle's clothes? They look ridiculous on you."
"I could point out that you burned my clothes." -Jace and Clary pg. 63 ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
But the name Magnus Bane made him think of a towering sort of figure, with huge shoulders and formal purple warlock's robes, calling down fire and lightning. Not Magnus himself, who was more of a cross between a panther and a demented elf. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
My rapier wit hides my inner pain. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The fans reacted very positively to me being cast [The Mortal Instruments] which, as a Twilight or Harry Potter franchise, when you read a book and you have someone in your mind or you have a vision and then they're cast in real life, it can go either way. So I was very, very honored and happy that they were excited. ~ Lily Collins
Mortal Instruments quotes by Lily Collins
Why do you tell me you love me only when you're drunk or dreaming? she asked. I have awful timing, said Simon ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
There is no pretending I love you and I will love you until you die. And if there is life after that, I will love you then. ~ Jace Wayland
Mortal Instruments quotes by Jace Wayland
Usually I'm remarkably good natured. Try me on a day that doesn't end in y. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
His eyes were green. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Chairmen Meow deserves me every effort. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
But they love each other. Isn't that what love means? That you're supposed to be there for the other person to turn to, no matter what? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
...; Clary saw the group of lycanthropes look up, alert as a group of hunting dogs senting game. She turned-
And saw Luke, tired and bloodstained, coming through the double doors of the Hall.
She ran toward him. Forgetting how upset she'd been when he'd left, and forgetting how angry he'd been with her for bringing them here, forgetting everything but how glad she was to see him. He looked surprised for a moment as she barreled toward him- then he smiled, and put his arms out, and picked her up as he hugged her, the way he'd done when she'd been very small. He smelled like blood and flannel and smoke, and for a moment she closed her eyes, thinking of the way Alec had grabbed onto Jace the moment he'd seen him in the Hall, because that was what you did with family when you'd been worried about them, you grabbed them and held on to them and told them how much they'd pissed you off, and it was okay, becaused no matter how angry you got, they still belonged to you. And what she had said to Valentine was true. Luke was her family. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Clary squinted at it. 'Is it going to turn me into a rodent?'
'Where's the trust? I think it's strawberry juice,' Isabelle said. 'Anyway, it's yummy. Jace?' She offered him the glass.
'I am a man,' he told her, 'and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone, woman, and bring me something brown.'
'Brown?' Isabelle made a face.
'Brown is a manly color,' said Jace, and yanked on a stray lock of Isabelle's hair with his free hand. 'In fact, look- Alec is wearing it. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The figure in the doorway ducked; the brick hit the wall, and Luke straightened up and looked at her curiously. I hope when we're married, that's not the way you greet me every day when I come home, he said. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
She could ask for anything, she thought dizzily, anything
an end to pain or world hunger or disease, or for peace on earth. But then again, perhaps these things weren't in the power of angels to grant, or they would already have been granted. And perhaps people were supposed to find these things for themselves. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
She hated that little voice inside her head. Like the Seelie Queen, it planted doubts where there shouldn't be doubts, asked questions that had no answer. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Lightwoods," Magnus said. "They always have to have the last word. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You left me. You made a pet out of me, and then you left me. If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
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. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be destroyed ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Wait a second," Clary said.
"I never understand why people say that," Luke said, to no one in particular. "I wasn't going anywhere. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Do you remember what I told you that first time at Taki's? About faerie food?"
"I remember you said you ran down Madison Avenue naked with antlers on your head", said Clary, blinking silver drops off her lashes. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
And now I'm looking at you," he said, "and you're asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You look happy," he said to Clary. He swiveled his gaze to Jace. "And a good thing for you that she does."
Jace raised an eyebrow. "Is this the part where you tell me that if I hurt her, you'll kill me?"
"No," said Simon, "If you hurt Clary, she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons."
Jace looked pleased by the thought. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
And when I saw him[my father] lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, Clary, and there might be not. Either way, we're on our own. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Why can't I go to Idris with you, then? Because it's not safe for you there O and it's safe for me here? I've been nearly killed almost a dozen times in the past month. That's because Valentine has been concentrating on the two Mortal Instruments that were here. He's going to shift his focus to Idris now. We all know it
We're hardly as certain of anything as all that. And the Clave wants to meet Clarissa. You know that, Jace. The Clave can screw itself. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
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. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
. . . pasta is rarely fatal. Unless Isabelle makes it." - Jace Wayland ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Divergent taught me that one choice doesn't define you

The Host taught me that you can't be so quick to judge

Hunger Games taught me that the tinest spark can change the world

The Mortal Instruments taught me that friends can help you overcome anything

Percy Jacskon taught me that everyone's a hero

Harry Potter taught me that love conquers all evil. ~ Random
Mortal Instruments quotes by Random
Enormous? Did you just call me fat? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Mom. I have something to tell you. I'm undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I'm here to tell you that undead are just like you and me ... well, okay. Possibly more like me than you. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Wear that scarf," he said, pointing to a blue cashmere scarf hanging on a peg. "It matches your eyes."
Alec looked at it. Suddenly he was filled with hate - for the scarf, for Magnus, and most of all for himself. "Don't tell me," he said. "The scarf's a hundred years old, and it was given to you by Queen Victoria right before she died, for special services to the Crown or something."
Magnus sat up. "What's gotten into you?"
Alec stared at him. "Am I the newest thing in this apartment?"
"I think that honor goes to Chairman Meow. He's only two."
"I said newest, not youngest," Alec snapped. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
We had and incident. I took care of it."
"Really." Jace's voice dripped sarcasm. "Do you even know how to use that knife, Clarissa? Without poking a hole in yourself or any innocent bystanders? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You asked me who I belong to. I belong to you. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Clary?" Jace tilted his head to the side, studying her face. "You do - you still love me, don't you?"
"I love Jace Lightwood," she said. "I don't know who you are. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Sorry. Was it awful?"
"Being a rat? No. First it was disorienting. I was suddenly at ankle-level with everyone. I thought I'd drunk a shrinking potion, but I couldn't figure out why I had this urge to chew used gum wrappers. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Simon stepped between them. "I'm not going to let you fight with each other."
"And what are you going to do about it if ... Oh." Jace's gaze trailed up to Simon's forehead, and he grinned reluctantly. " So basically you're threatening to turn me into something you can sprinkle on popcorn if I don't do what you say? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I guess it's true what they say," observed Jace. "There are no straight men in the trenches."
"That's atheists, jackass," said Simon furiously. "There are no atheists in the trenches. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
For the devil has no power . . . except in the dark." - Madame Dorothea ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Jordan followed, buttoning his jeans and muttering about how there was nothing strange about having a pattern of dancing penguins on your underwear. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
But-" Maia, still looking at Alec and Magnus, broke off and rasied her eyebrows. Simon turned to see what she was looking at - and stared.
Alec had his arms around Magnus and was kissing him full on the mouth. Magnus, who appeared to be in a state of shock, stood frozen. Several groups of people - Shadowhunters and Downworlders alike - were staring and whispering. Glancing to the side, Simon saw the Lightwoods, their eyes widen, gaping at the display. Maryse had her hand over her mouth.
Maia looked perplexed. "Wait a second," she said. "Do we all have to do that, too? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
What do you think? Should I forgive him?"
"I think what he told you was an explanation, but it wasn't an excuse for how he behaved. If you forgive him, do it for yourself, not for him. It's a waste of your time to be angry," Magnus said, "when you're one of the most loving people I've known. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You know, when I first met
you, in Idris, I had hopes - I had thought you would be like me. And when you were
nothing like me, I hated you. And then, when I was brought back, and Jace told me what
you did, I realized that I had been wrong. You are like me. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The dark prince sat astride his black steed, his sable cape flowing behind him. A golden circlet bound his blond locks, his handsome face was cold with the rage of battle, and ...
"And his arm looked like an eggplant," Clary muttered to herself in exasperation. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
As long as I can dream, I will dream of you. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Isabelle!" he called again. "Let down your raven hair!'
"Oh my God," Clary muttered. "There was something in that blood Raphael gave you, wasn't there? I'm going to kill him. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Is this one of those keep-your-friends-close-and-your-enemies-closer things?"
"I though it was keep your friends close so you have someone to drive the car when you sneak over to your enemy's house at night and throw up in his mailbox. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
What's this?" he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might know what she was doing there.
"It's a girl," Jace said,recovering his composure. "Surely you've seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I get the feeling you'd rather pine over someone you can never possibly be with than try being with someone you can. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Magnus thought once again of the blue-eyed man standing in his parlor. Then he lit a match and burned the note. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Far below ran the silver ribbon of the East River, braceleted by shining bridges, flecked by boats as small as flyspecks, splitting the shining banks of light that were Manhattan and Brooklyn on either side. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Got caught in the rain, I see," - Isabelle Lightwood ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Actually," said Jace, "I prefer to think that I'm a liar in a way that's uniquely my own. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You can run out of garlic, you can't really run out of music ~ Jace Wayland
Mortal Instruments quotes by Jace Wayland
She couldn't pinpoint the exact moment she'd fallen in love with Jace, but there had always been something about him that reminded her of a lion, a wild animal unfettered by rules, the promise of a life of freedom. Never "I can't," but always "I can." Always the risk and the surety, never the fear or the question. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
And she wept as well for the others lost in the Dark War, and she wept for her mother and the loss she had endured, and she wept for Emma and the Blackthorns, remembering how they had fought back tears when she had told them that she had seen Mark in the tunnels of Faerie, and how he belonged to the Hunt now, and she wept for Simon and the hole in her heart where he had been, and the she would miss him every day until she died, and she wept for herself and the changes that had been wrought in her, because sometimes even change for the better felt like a little death. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Drive like hell was following you." - Jace Wayland ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Don't tell me you aren't even a little glad to see me, Mother," Sebastian said, and
though his words were pleading, his voice was flat. "Aren't I everything you could want in
a son?" He spread his arms wide. "Strong, handsome, looks just like dear old Dad. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You're a disaster for us, Clary! You're a mundane, you'll always be one, you'll never be a Shadowhunter! You don't know how to think like we do, think about what's best for everyone
all you think about is yourself! But there's a war now, or there will be, and I don't have time or the inclination to follow around after you, trying to make sure you don't get us killed! Go home, Clary. Go home! ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Humans were so stupid. They had something so precious, and they barely safeguarded it at all. They threw away their lives for money, for packets of powder, for a stranger's charming smile. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
You know Jace Lightwood?" said Emma.
"I
What?"
"He's famous," Emma said with obvious amazement. He's the best Shadowhunter. The best. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Magnus's eyes went back to Alec. They were gold-green, as unreadable as the eyes of the cat he held on his lap. "Not my favorite topic, Smedley."
"Simon", said Simon. "If I'm going to die for you all, the least you could do is remember my name. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I think she just asked if she could touch my mango. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
They'll probably put that on my gravestone. 'He Was Heterosexul and Had Low Expectations. ~ Jace Herondale
Mortal Instruments quotes by Jace Herondale
The beautful boy she'd met first, reckless with himself and others, learning to care and be careful. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The first morning Simon had been at Amatis's house, a grinning lycanthrope had showed up on the doorstep with a live cat for him.
"Blood," he'd said, in a heavily accented voice. "For you. Fresh!"
Simon had thanked the werewolf, waited from him to leave, and let the cat go, his expression faintly green.
"We'll you're going to have to get your blood from somewhere," said Luke, looking amused.
"I have a pet cat," Simon replied. "There's no way. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
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. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Alec is not a bunny rabbit. He's a shadowhunter. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Clary,

Despite everything, I can't bear the thought of this ring being lost forever, any more then I can bear the thought of leaving you forever. And though I have no choice about the one, at least I can choose about the other. I'm leaving you our family ring because you have as much right to it as I do.
I'm writing this watching the sun come up. You're asleep, dreams moving behind your restless eyelids. I wish I knew what you were thinking. I wish I could slip into your head and see the world the way you do. I wish I could see myself the way you do. But maybe I dont want to see that. Maybe it would make me feel even more than I already do that I'm perpetuating some kind of Great Lie on you, and I couldn't stand that.
I belong to you. You could do anything you wanted with me and I would let you. You could ask anything of me and I'd break myself trying to make you happy. My heart tells me this is the best and greatest feeling I have ever had. But my mind knows the difference between wanting what you can't have and wanting what you shouldn't want. And I shouldn't want you.
All night I've watched you sleeping, watched the moonlight come and go, casting its shadows across your face in black and white. I've never seen anything more beautiful. I think of the life we could have had if things were different, a life where this night is not a singular event, separate from everything else that's real, but every night. But things aren't different, and I can't ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
He landed on his back amid a tangled pile of clothes. "Isabelle," Simon protested weakly, "do you really think this is going to make you feel any better?"
"Trust me," Isabelle said, placing a hand on his chest, just over his unbeating heart. "I feel better already. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
While this is all very amusing, the kiss that will free the girl is the kiss that she most desires," she said. "Only that and nothing more."

Jace's heart started to pound. He met the Queen's eyes with his own. "Why are you doing this?"

… "Desire is not always lessened by disgust…And as my words bind my magic, so you can know the truth. If she doesn't desire your kiss, she won't be free."

"You don't have to do this, Clary, it's a trick - " (Simon)

...Isabelle sounded exasperated. 'Who cares, anyway? It's just a kiss."

"That's right," Jace said. Clary looked up, then finally, and her wide green eyes rested on him. He moved toward her... and put his hand on her shoulder, turning her to face him… He could feel the tension in his own body, the effort of holding back, of not pulling her against him and taking this one chance, however dangerous and stupid and unwise, and kissing her the way he had thought he would never, in his life, be able to kiss her again. "It's just a kiss," he said, and heard the roughness in his own voice, and wondered if she heard it, too.

Not that it mattered - there was no way to hide it. It was too much. He had never wanted like this before... She understood him, laughed when he laughed, saw through the defenses he put up to what was underneath. There was no Jace Wayland more real than the one he saw in her eyes when she looked at him… All he knew was that whatever he had to owe to Hell or ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I don't want to be Nephilim," said Jace. "I want to be something else. Stronger, faster, better than human. But different. Not subservient to the Laws of an angel who couldn't care less about us. Free." He ran his hand through a curl of her hair. "I'm happy now, Clary. Doesn't that make a difference? ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
I was trying to make you jealous!" Simon screamed, right back. His hands were fisted at his sides. "You're so stupid, Clary. You're so stupid, can't you see anything?"
She stared at him in bewilderment. What on earth did he mean? "Trying to make me jealous? Why would you try to do that?"
She saw immediately that this was the worst thing she could have asked him.
"Because," he said, so bitterly that it shocked her, "I've been in love with you for ten years, so I thought it seemed like the time to find out whether you felt the same about me. Which, I guess you don't. ~ Cassandra Clare
Mortal Instruments quotes by Cassandra Clare
Isabelle," she said, lightening her tone with an obvious effort, "your loyalty to your friend is understandable
"
"He's not my friend." Isabelle looked over at Jace, who was staring at her in a sort of daze. "He's my brother. ~ Cassandra Clare
