Quotes

Long is the way And hard, that out of Hell leads up to Light. John Milton, Paradise Lost
P2 Why wouldn’t you be able to wear pants there? It’s another country, not another century.
P7 Maryse trusts the Clave too much.
She has to believe they’re perfect and I can’t tell her they aren’t, because…
Because that’s something Valentine would say…
… no one is perfect.
P12 Normal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
P32 Description of Isabelle – The first time Simon had ever seen Isabelle, he’d found her so striking, so alight with life and vitality and energy, he’d thought he’d finally found a girl who burned bright enough to blot out the image of Clary that always seemed to be oriented on the inside of his eyelids. It was right around the time she’d gotten him turned into a rat at Magnus Bane’s loft party that he’d realized maybe Isabelle burned a little too bright for an ordinary guy like him.
P36 I created a bunch of Forsaken warriors, had them attack the institute and kill Madeleine and nearly kill the rest of us, just so that I could keep Clary at home. And lo and behold, my diabolical plan is working.
P37 I never agreed to this.
You did. ..When you said you’d do anything for Clary. This is anything.
P37 …there was an electric anger in his gaze, and a sort of challenge that made Simon long to hit him with something heavy. Like a pickup truck.
P46 You’ll have to forgive her; she has the face of an angel and the manners of a Moloch demon.p48 You’d better hurry up to the Gard and back. God knows what depravity we might get up to here without your guidance.
P55 Ave atque vale Hail and farewell
P60 Mene mene tekel upharsin It’s the Writing on the wall “God hath numbered thy kingdom and brought it to an end; thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting. It’s a portent of doom-it means the end of an empire. What Clary can do overturns everything that is true – only angels have the power to create runes. ‘Just as the rebellion of the angels split heaven in half and created hell-this could mean the end of the Nephilim as they currently exist.’
P73 Isabelle only likes dating thoroughly inappropriate boys our parents will hate. Mundanes, Downworlders, petty crooks…
Thanks…I’m glad to be classed with the criminal element.
P75 Maybe you should call him, Simon suggested, trying not to think too hard about how weird it was to be giving a demon hunter advice about possibly dating warlock.
P91 Now I wonder all the time how you go back after something like that. Whether we can ever be friends again, or if what we had is broken into pieces. Not because of her but because of me.
P108 How had it happened, Simon thought, that he was bound to these people who thought of him as nothing more than a Downworlder, half human at best.
P117 Go ahead and do whatever you want, regardless of who it hurts. You always do anyway, don’t you?
P121Ihate it when you act like this.
Oh you hate it, do you? Well I’d better stop doing it then hadn’t I? I mean you do everything I ask you to do.
P122 I don’t feel like talking …to either of you, as a matter of fact.
Yes, you do, Alec said. You really want to talk to me about this.
P123 Ah the I told you so…always a classy move.
P127 So, killing Downworlders is a lucrative business…So, you can see why there’s so much opposition to the Accords. It cuts into people’s pocketbooks. (reason for joining The Circle, they murdered out of sacred duty, not greed)But I’m not going to get older, Simon thought.
P129 And as for the Lightwoods, Simon said, it’s not that I like them that much. I mean I like Isabelle, and I sort of like Alec and Jace, too. But there’s this girl and Jace is her brother.
…Isn’t there always a girl.
P135 I have a fetish for damsels in distress.
Don’t be sexist.
Not at all. My services are also available to gentlemen in distress. It’s an equal opportunity fetish.
p136 Why not use a healing rune? This isn’t a demon injury.
Because..I think it would do you good to feel the pain. You can heal like a mundane. Slow and ugly. Maybe you’ll learn something..Although, I doubt it.
P137 Maybe you just never knew what it was like to want something you couldn’t have before.
P138 Hurting people he loved was almost as good as hurting himself when he was in this kind of mood.
P138 Love make us liars.
P140 She’d given so much thought these past few weeks as to whether she loved Jace Wayland and how that she’d never much paused to consider whether she liked him or not…
I do like him..I do, it’s just –he makes me furious.He tells me what I can and can’t do—
Doesn’t seem to work very well…
You seem to do what you want anyway.
P150 You’re not happy to see me then?.. I have to say I’m surprised. I’ve always been told my presence brightened up any room. One might think that went doubly for dank underground cells.”
P167 I think there isn’t much that Jace wouldn’t do for you if you asked him”
P186 He might be right that things need fixing…But he’s not right about the way they should be fixed. You can see that can’t you?
P188 That’s very noble of him, but what’s his long range plan? To stay in jail forever?
P191 Consider it a race to see who kills you first Daylighter—Valentine, the other Downworlders, or the Clave.
P217 Sebastian from twelfth Night ..the malignancy of my fate might perhaps distemper yours therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone.
P238 Your city is under attack…The wards have been broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven’t called you?
P239 You love me?
You stupid Nephilim..Why else am I here? Why else have I spent the past few weeks patching up your moronic friends every time they got hurt? And getting you out of every ridiculous situation you found yourself in? Not to mention helping you win a battle against Valentine? And completely free of charge!
P239 You’re seven hundred years old?
Well… eight hundred. But, I don’t look it.
P239 You won’t even admit I exist to your parents…
Tell you what…We Live through this, and I promise I’ll introduce you to my whole family.
P250 I can’t believe you ddidn’t recognise me. It’s not like all wolves look alike.
And grosss by the way. I can’t believe I munched all that demon. I hope I’m not allergic.
p250 I’m really grateful to you for saving us, Maia and Jace is too, even though he’s so stubborn that he’d rather jam a seraph blade in his eyeball than say so.
P268 You had to make a crazy jail friend, didn’t you? You couldn’t just count ceiling tiles or tame a pet mouse like normal prisoners do.
P276 ..to live your life ashamed not just of what you’d done but of what you were doing and of what you knew you’d do again? Hodge had given up a long time ago trying to live a better life or a different one; all he wanted was not to be afraid and so he was afraid all the time.
P282 I swear there are utterly lightless demon dimensions out there that are less dim than the bunch of you.
P284 I’ve never killed a human being with one of these before… But I’m willing to try.
P294 More nightmares?
Same stuff. Death, destruction, bad angels.
So, a lot like real life then.
Yeah, but at least when I wake up, it’s over.
P295 She wondered why she’d ever thought trusting someone who wore that much eyeliner was a good idea.
P299 She was really upset.
As one would be if one’s nephew turned out to be an evil mastermind.
P300 I thought Jace was the kind of guy who was everyone’s type.
P302 And he told you that being around you was like bleeding to death slowly. Do you really think he needs that when he’s already at Max’s funeral?
P306 Clarissa… here with a vampire, I see. When things have settled a bit, we really must discuss your choice of pets.
P310 You say you hate the Clave but you’re the one who made them what they are now—petty and paranoid.
P315 Jace, Clary thought, on the other hand, all in white, looked like an angel. Albeit one of the avenging kind.
P316He reached into the Inquisitor and twisted..There was a lot of blood
Like a special bonus for you, Jace said to Simon.
Has there ever been an Inquisitor who didn’t die a horrible death? It’s like being the drummer in spinal tap.
P317 He didn’t care enough about his children not to destroy them…What makes you think he’d care about his people?
P 318 Im pretty sure he didn’t care one way or another whether I lived or died..
I think you‘re being too hard on him…I’m sure he’d rather you’d died.
P 319 You can lock yourself in your room like Isabelle.
I’m not going to do that.
Of course you’re not…Because you live to torture me don’t you/
P321 Luke is trying to get the Clave to think in a new way. That’s exactly what Valentine did, even if his goals were—well not the same Luke’s an iconoclast. He wants to change. To Valentine, the Inquisitor represents the old, hidebound Clave he hates so much.
P322 Despair, anger, hate. These are demon qualities.
P309 p328 You’d keep your mouth shut for your brother’s sake, if not for your own.
P330 I’d always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and then not wanted her anymore, but with you the feeling just got stronger and stronger until that night you showed up at Renwick’s and I knew.
Renwicks also mentioned p306 Compares Luke and Valentine – who last met at Renwicks
P331 There is no pretending…I love you and I will love you until I die, and if there’s a life after that I will love you then.
P343 But don’t you see—it can only be me…Even if Valentine senses I’m following him, he might let me get close enough–
P345 …I want you to keep it in mind while you make your battle plans. That I’m out there, looking for Valentine. If I find him, I’ll send you a message…Think of me as your backup plan…
P345 Despite everything, I can’t bear the thought of this ring being lost forever, any more than 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.
P346 You could say anything you liked to someone you thought you were never going to see again.
P349 But I trust that Jace has his reasons for—
For what? For wanting to die?
…Do you think the rest of us are safe? We’re all waiting to die or be enslaved.
P350 I will l miss him every day…for the rest of my life, which, let’s face it, if Jace fails, will probably be about a week long.
P350 Girls always fell in love with him, but he never cared. I think that’s why Alec thought—
P351 And then after what happened to Simon at the party, he was willing to go to the Dumort, to break Clave Law, just to save a mundane he didn’t even like.
P352 I started to hate seeing you, I hated for Jace to see you. It’s like an injury you get from demon poison—you have to leave it alone and let it heal. Every time you rip the bandages off, you just open the wound up again. Every time he sees you, it’s like tearing off the bandages.
P352 I don’t hate you Clary. I even like you. If it were possible, there isn’t anyone I’d rather Jace be with. But I hope you can understand that if by some miracle we all get through this, I hope my family moves itself somewhere so far away that we never see you again.
P352 You can’t pretend you’re a bit player forever, Clary, not when you’re Valentine’s daughter. Not when Jace is doing what he’s doing partly because of you.
P359 Why didn’t you ever tell me I had a brother? (First thing Clary says to her mother)
P359 Knowing is better than not knowing. Every time.
P360 What do you think? That if I couldn’t see the bad things , that meant they couldn’t see me?
P360 You took all that away from me and it didn’t belong to you.
P364 Go ahead and join me. This mope-fest is open to all.
P366 If you ever meet the man who can take advantage of Isabelle you’ll have to let me know. I’d like to shake his hand. Or run away from him very fast, I’m not sure which.
P367 No one could be that annoying without some kind of supernatural assistance.
P371 It’s not like you had a choice…And it’s not like I didn’t know. You can only push the truth down for so long, and then it bubbles back up.
P372 ….I wanted to ask him why …he did not give us the powers the Downworlders have- the speed of the wolves, the immortality of the Fair Folk, the magic of warlocks, even the endurance of vampires…Why can’t we share in what they have?
P421 It’s like a cotillion, this partners business, except with killing.
So, exactly like a cotillion said Simon.
Maybe I’ll ask you to be my partner, Simon, Isabelle said, raising an eyebrow delicately.
P422 Whatever doesn’t kill me…had better start running.

Faeries-beauty of angels , viciousness of demons. They can’t lie but they can engage in creative truth telling. P139 They’ll find out whatever you want most in the world and give it to you, but with a sting in the tale that will make you regret you ever wanted it in the first place…They’re not really about helping people. More about harm disguised as help..Have no sense of humour.

Quotes

P16 Mostly extinct is NOT EXTINCT ENOUGH….
I see I’ll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from “almost extinct’ to “not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.’
P16 I’m pure at heart. It repels the dirt.
P28 …Simon’s sketches of people all looked like parking meters with tufts of hair.
P42 Except in a game, the good guys always won, defeated the bad guys and came home with the treasure. Whereas in real life, they’d lost the treasure, and sometimes Clary wasn’t clear who the bad guys and good guys actually were.
P45 Do you have to be so ..
Unpleasant…Only on days when my adoptive mother tosses me out of the house with instructions never to darken her door again. Usually, I’m remarkably good-natured. Try me on any day that doesn’t end in y.”
P47 “I don’t want to be a man…I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can’t confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead.”
Well, you’re doing a fantastic job.
P48 Not everything Jace did was insane and suicidal, she reminded herself. It just seemed that way.
P69 I’m stolid Middle-aged.
Except that once a month you turn into a wolf and go tearing around slaughtering things..
It could be worse..Men my age have been known to purchase expensive sport cars and sleep with supermodels.
P76 To claim the name of Wayland makes you a liar. Just like your father.
Actually, ..I prefer to think that I’m a liar in a way that’s uniquely my own.
P78 Yes, I was trained to be an evil mastermind from a young age. Pulling the wings off flies, poisoning the earth’s water supply- I was covering that stuff in kindergarten. I guess we’re all just lucky my father died before he got to the raping and pillaging part of my education, or no one would be safe.
P81 Somebody’s girlfriend…Somebody’s sister, somebody’s daughter. All these things I never knew I was before , and I still don’t really know what I am.
P82 Dante’s inferno-S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse…a persona che mai tornasse al mondo…
P124 Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
P132 Is standing by the window muttering about blood something he does all the time?
No… sometimes he sits on the couch and does it.
P137 Tell Isabelle no.
But, she thinks it’s a good idea…
Then tell Isabelle no twice.
P142 Mom and Dad won’t be pleased if they find out.
That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang…No, probably not.
P142 Every time I annoy him he retreats into his “no mundanes allowed’ treehouse.
P156 Love does make liars of your kind.
P160 The kiss that will free the girl is the kiss that she most desires.
P161 Desire is not always lessened by disgust. Nor can it bestowed like a favour, to those most deserving of it.
P169 I love Simon.
Like you love Luke. ..Like you love your mother.
P169 The truth is that I love Simon like I should love you, and I wish he was my brother and you weren’t, but I can’t do anything about that and neither can you.
P173 It’s three in the morning. ..Do you think Simon’s alright?
I think he’s weird actually…Though that has little to do with the time.
P186 Blood is blood.
P196 Love takes your choices away.
P257 Jace reminds me of an old boyfriend. Some guys look at you like they want sex. Jace looks at you like you’ve already had sex and it was great and now you’re just friends- even though you want more. Drives girls crazy. ..
What happened to…The old boyfriend. The one Jace reminds you of.
…He’s the one who turned me into a werewolf.
P286 I bait her, I can’t help it. Vicious bureaucrats get under my skin.
P288 I deplore this modern habit of calling one’s parents by their first names.
What I actually want to call you is a lot more unprintable than your name.
P290 …Jace was lying on the floor, envisioning lines of dancing girls in an effort to ignore the pain in his wrists. It wasn’t working…
What are you doing?…
I thought I’d lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while..It relaxes me.’
P301 The Inquisitors got this place locked up tighter than a pentagram. You know there are guards downstairs. She’s called in half the Clave.
She must think highly of me.
P304 I thought …that you were-dead..
I am dead…
I know, but I meant – really dead…
P305 He’s the Valentine, right..The one everyone talks about. The one who started the uprising…
He’s Jace and Clary’s father…
He sounds just like Jace..No wonder Jace is such as ass.
P310 How touching…The children of moon and night getting along at last.
P311 So, you’re Clary’s father. No offense, but I can kind of see why she hates you.
And why is that?
Because…you’re obviously psychotic.
P312 Simon knew what he was supposed to say, Sh’ma Yisrale, adonai elohanu, adonai echod. Hear oh Israel the Lord our God, the Lord is One. He tried to speak the words, but a searing pain burned his throat. Clary he whispered instead.
P314 First I climbed out Isabelle’s window and up the wall. There are a number of ornamental gargoyles that make good handholds. Also, I’d like to note for the record that my motorcycle is no longer where I left it. I bet the Inquisitor took it on a joyride around Hoboken.
P315 I hate to break it to you, but we need a boat to get to another boat…I’m not sure even Jace can walk on water.
P321 He offered Stephen a choice, and Stephen chose. Whatever else his faults were, Valentine never blackmailed or threatened anyone into joining the Circle. He wants only willing followers. The responsibilities for Stephen’s choices rests with him.
“Free will,” said Clary.
“There’s nothing free about it.”…”Valentine—“
“Offered you a choice, didn’t he…””He wanted you to stay..”
And you said no..”
…”I wish people would stop guessing that. It’s making me feel predictable.”
p324 (Magnus) And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a Mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him…
I always thought Cain’s might have been the first recorded Mark. It certainly protected him.
P329 I am nothing like you. I follow the law.
Even when it instructs you to kill a boy still in his teens just to punish his father?
p330 Val to Imogen – There is nothing you have to offer that I could possibly want.
P331 Do I have a choice?l
Not in the literal sense no.
P345 Wait..The melted metal—it could be like toxic sludge or something.
…I’m from New Jersey. I was born in toxic sludge.
P353 But isn’t that what love is Clarissa? Ownership? I am my beloved and my beloved is mine…You don’t get it. It’s not that someone belongs to you, it’s that you give yourself to them. I doubt you’ve ever given anything to anyone except nightmares.
P364 You have to give everything ugly motives for everything they do, because ugly motives are all you understand.
P364 Since the demon threat is invisible to mundane, they must assign the threat to others of their kind. They place the face of the enemy onto the face of their neighbour, and this are generations of misery assured.
P366 But she had begun to see what Luke had meant when he said you couldn’t argue with Valentine. Somehow he’d made it impossible for her to disagree with him without feeling she was standing up for demons who bit children in half.
P377 “I could have killed you.”
I would have let you.
P24 You never sang to me . You were never afraid of the dark . What kind of ten year old is never afraid of the dark..P46 Viper in their bosom,p63 IF you try to tear him out of your family, you’ll leave a wound that won’t ever heal. P77 cuckoo bird p84 Alec would jave said he could have benefitted from a bit more in the way of constructive cowardice. Fear wasn’t something that had ever affected him much. P394 You were wrong that I never sang it to you…It’s just that you never heard me.
P396 She’d spent the week texting him from Luke’s couch where she’d lain wrapped up in a blanket watching CSI reruns. It was comforting to spend time in a world where every puzzle had a detectable scientific answer.
P400 Nothing good ever starts with the words, “Valentine said.”
P406 Only mundanse says they’re sorry when what they mean is,“ I share your grief.”
