    “She turned back to Jace. "Do you have to be so-," she began, but stopped when she saw his face. It looked stripped down, oddly vulnerable.

    “I should have guessed you were Jace's sister," he said. "You both have the same artistic talent."
    Clary paused, her foot on the lowest stair. She was taken aback. "Jace can draw?"

    A flicker of a smile ghosted across Jace's face. "Only on alternate Thursdays.”

    Carson McCullers
    “In the face of brutality I was prudent. Before injustice I held my peace. I sacrificed the things in hand for the good of they hypothetical whole. I believed in the tongue instead of the fist.

Now is the time to act and to act quickly. Fight cunning with cunning and might with might”
    Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

    Cassandra Clare
    “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 swum naked in the Thames before, but I know I wouldn't like it."
    "But think how entertaining for sightseers," said Tessa, and she saw Jem duck his head to hide the quick flash of his grin.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    And my poor gift you have ignored.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #19
    Cassandra Clare
    “Demon pox, oh demon pox
    Just how is it acquired?
    One must go down to the bad part of town
    Until one is very tired.
    Demon pox, oh demon pox, I had it all along—
    Not the pox, you foolish blocks,
    I mean this very song—
    For I was right, and you were wrong!"

    "Will!" Charlotte shouted over the noise, "Have you LOST YOUR MIND? CEASE THAT INFERNAL RACKET! Jem—"
    Jem, rising to his feet, clapped his hands over Will's mouth. "Do you promise to be quiet?" he hissed into his friend's ear.
    Will nodded, blue eyes blazing. Tessa was staring at him in amazement; they all were. She had seen Will many things—amused, bitter, condescending, angry, pitying—but never giddy before.
    Jem let him go. "All right, then."
    Will slid to the floor, his back against the armchair, and threw up his arms. "A demon pox on all your houses!" he announced, and yawned.
    "Oh, God, weeks of pox jokes," said Jem. "We're in for it now.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare
    “We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare
    “I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #22
    Cassandra Clare
    “You speak of sacrifice, but it is not my sacrifice I offer. It is yours I ask of you," he went on. "I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain. But I love you enough to hope that you wil not care that I am being selfish in trying to make the rest of my life - whatever length - happy, by spending it with you. I want to be married to you, Tessa. I want it more than I have ever wanted anything else in my life." He looked up at her through the veil of silvery hair that fell over his eyes. "That is," he said shyly, "if you love me, too.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #23
    Cassandra Clare
    “I've never minded it," he went on. "Being lost, that is. I had always thought one could not truly be lost if one knew one's own heart. But I fear I may be lost without knowing yours.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #24
    Cassandra Clare
    'Twas on an evening fair I went to take the air,
    I heard a maid making her moan;
    Said, 'Saw ye my father? Or saw ye my mother?
    Or saw ye my brother John?
    Or saw ye the lad I that I love best,
    And his name it is Sweet William?

    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare
    “Basia coquum," Simon said. "Or whatever their motto is."
    "It's 'Descensus Averno facilis est.' 'The descent into hell is easy," said Alec. "You just said "Kiss the cook."
    "Dammit," said Simon. "I knew Jace was screwing with me.”

    A smile tugged the edge of his mouth. "I hate ducks. Don't know why. I just always have.”

  • #29
    Cassandra Clare
    “I've got the Mark of Cain," said Simon. "That means nothing can kill me, right?"
    "You can kill yourself," Magnus said, somewhat unhelpfully. "As far as I know, inanimate objects can accidentally kill you. So if you were planning on teaching yourself the lambada on a greased platform over a pit full of knives, I wouldn't."
    "There goes my Saturday.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls
