Cassandra Clare citáty

page 7

„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.“

“Are we long-lost friends, by chance?”

“I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know.”

“Do you want to tell me what this is about, or should I just call the police?”

“Okayyyyy,” Isabelle said in a low voice, “When did Brother Zachariah get hot?”

“It's too late," she said.
"Don't say that." His voice was half a whisper. "I love you, Tessa. I love you.”

“I suppose you've always been amazing at this stuff."- Clary
"I was born amazing." - Jace”

“But I watch my brothers give their hearts away and I think, Don’t you know better? Hearts are breakable. And I think even when you heal, you’re never what you were before.”

“Men may be stronger, but it is women who endure.”

“Sorry, are you telling me that your demon-slaying buddies need to be driven to their next assignation with the forces of darkness by my mom?”

“Jace slammed his hand down on the stele. “Clary-“
“She said she doesn’t want it,” said Simon. “Ha-ha.”
“Ha-ha?” Jace looked incredulous. “That’s your comeback?”

“Look. In all the years I've known him, there's always been exactly one place Simon wanted to be, and he's always fought like hell to make sure he got there and stayed there."
"Where's that?”

“Going round and around inside a dryer can be fatal, whereas pasta is rarely fatal. Unless Isabelle makes it.”

“Some guys look at you like they only want sex. Jace looks at you like you've had sex - it was great and now you're just friends. Drives girls crazy. Know what I mean?" Yes. Clary thought. "No." Clary said.”

“I don't do what I'm told, but I might do what you want if you ask me nicely.”

“Jem is nothing but goodness. That he struck you last night only shows how capable you are of driving even saints to madness.”

“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.”

“Or maybe it's just that beautiful things are so easily broken by the world.”

“You're not gay, are you?"
Simon's greenish color deepened. "If I were, I would dress better.”

“You're so easy to tease. And yes, your friend is just fine. Well, except that he keeps putting all my things away and trying to clean up. Now I can't find anything. He's compulsive.”

“And to the devil with it if she is!" said the Consul. "One girl, who is not Nephilim, is not,, be our priority."

"She ispriority!" Will shouted.”

“Will has always been the brighter burning star, the one to catch attention — but Jem is a steady flame, unwavering and honest. He could make you happy.”

“When Will truly wants something,” said Jem, quietly, “when he feels something — he can break your heart.”

“He’s very pretty. For a human.”
“He’s very broken,” said Magnus. “Like a lovely vase that someone has smashed. Only luck and skill can put it back together the way it was before.”

“I get the feeling," Alec said, and smiled, "she hasn't forgiven me for betraying you, as she sees it."
"Good girl," said Jace with appreciation.
"I didn't betray you, idiot."
"It's the thought that counts.”

“It's a coffee cup."
She could hear the irritation in her own voice. "I know it's a coffee cup."
"I can't wait till you draw something really complicated, like the Brooklyn Bridge or a lobster. You'll probably send me a singing telegram.”

“She turned and looked at him. "Ducks?" she said again.
A smile tugged the edge of his mouth. "I hate ducks. Don't know why. I just always have.”

“If there's a thing I've learned in my life it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for don't”

“Watching Jace hug Isabelle, she tried to school her features into a happy and loving expression.
"Are you all right?" Simon asked, with some concern. "Your eyes are crossing.”

“Do reasons matter when there's nothing that can be done to change things.”
