„A teraz potrebujem, aby si pre mňa urobil to, čo sám nezvládnem. Aby si bol mojim zrakom, ktorý mi chýba. Aby si bol mojimi rukami, keď nemôžem použiť svoje vlastné. Aby si bol mojím srdcom, až to moje prestane biť.“

„„Človek si musí vždy dávať pozor na knihy,“ povedala Tessa, „a na to, čo je v nich, pretože slová majú moc nás zmeniť.““

„Keď na teba myslím a nie si pri mne, v mojej mysli ťa vždy vidím s knihou v ruke.“

“Every memory was valuable; even the bad ones.”

“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?”

“Hope is all that keeps us going sometimes, biscuit”

“You like the party?"
"Is it in honor of anything?"
"My cat's birthday."
"Oh." She glanced around. "Where's your cat?"
"I dont know. He ran away."
-Magnus & Clary, pg.221-”

“The world is a wheel. When we rise or fall, we do it together.”

“You have a book that’s also a face?”

“And you should not be out and about in your nightgown. There are Lightwoods wandering these halls.”

“Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?”

“Unpleasant?" he finished for her.
"Only on the 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.”

“I'm not a. I have no male pride for you to trick me with, and I am not interested in single combat. That is entirely a weakness of your sex, not mine. I am a woman. I will use any weapon and all weapons to get what I want.”

“Sometimes," said Will, "they're even supposed to blow up.”

“This is your true self, Tessa. This power is who you are. Whoever loves you now - and you must also love yourself - will love the truth of you.”

“He recognized and accepted this strange new feeling: that he would rather be hurt himself than hurt Alec.”

“We’re Nephilim. Every one of our life’s passages has some mystical component — our births, our deaths, our, marriages, everything has a ceremony and a rune. There is one as well if you wish to become someone’s parabatai. It’s no small commitment.”

“Simon, you’re blushing,” observed Jace. “And you’re a vampire and almost never blush, so this better be really juicy. And weird. Were bicycles involved in some kinky way? Vacuum cleaners? Umbrellas?”

“What's all this about yanking poor Magnus and Alec back from their vacation?" Isabelle demanded. "They have opera tickets!”

“You have a dark heart in you, Valentine’s daughter,” he said. “You just won’t admit it. And if you want Jace, you had better accept it. Because he belongs to me now.”

“Will suspected Jem was in fact cleverer than he was himself - but he lacked Will's tendency to assume the absolute worst about people and proceed from there.”

“I love round tables. They suit me so much better than a square.”

“It's always better to live the truth than to live a lie.”

“I really wish you hadn't worn that sweater,'he muttered into her ear.
'It's good practice for you,' she replied, her lips moving against his skin.
'Tomorrow, fishnets.'
Against her side, warm and familiar, she felt him laugh.”

“Please,” Alec said, pulling out his stele. “I can read your face like a very open, very pornographic book. I wish I couldn’t.”

“The witchlight made his skin paler, his eyes more intently blue. They were the color of the water in the North Atlantic, where the ice drifted on its blue-black surface like the snow clinging to the dark glass pane of a window.”

“Hang Mortmain," said Will. "And I mean that literally, of course, but also figuratively.”

“Seeing through glamour is easy. It's people that are hard.”

“Sharp are the arrows of a broken heart.”

“He was Will, in all his perfect imperfection; Will, whose heart was as easy to break as it was carefully guarded; Will, who loved not wisely but entirely and with everything he had.”

“You're a public menace. You shouldn't be allowed out on your own.”

“Max," Jace said. "Max, I’m so sorry.”
