“The Law is annoying, but it is also flexible.”

“You have a dark heart in you, Valentine's daughter.”

“I am not doing this in front of everyone," Simon announced.
“It’s not spin the bottle, Simon,” said Clary. “It’s just food. Not that you’re food, Alec,” she added when he glared. She held her hands up. “Never mind.”

“Isabelle: Do you want some soup?
Jace: No
Isabelle: Do you think Hodge will want some soup?
Jace: No one wants soup
Simon: I want some soup!

“It’s like a cotillion, this partners business, except with killing.”
“So, exactly like a cotillion,” said Simon.”

“Very well," Magnus said. "Let us pause for a moment and consider—Oh, you have already run off Splendid.”

“Loving someone doesn't mean you're never going to make mistakes.”

“What’s the Nephilim motto again?”

“To make a true choice, we must have true knowledge.”
