Cassandra Clare Said Quotations

The only way you would have failed," she said, "is if you had.

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

You may choose your friends, but not your unlikely saviors,” Magnus said cheerfully.

You promise me, he said. That you love him. Enough to marry him and make him happy.

Meet me in the courtyard in half an hour, then,” said Will. “I’ll wake Cyril. And be prepared to swoon at my finery.

Then, if you love him," he said quietly, "please, Tessa, don't tell him what I just told you. Don't tell him that I love you.

Wait a second," Clary said. "I never understand why people say that," Luke said, to no one in particular. "I wasn't going anywhere.

And therefor," said Magnus "We must go." Will blinked at him. "Go where?" "Don't worry about that right now, my love." Will blinked again. "Pardon?

Who said we were owed happiness?

Jem told me what Ragnor Fell said about my father,” Will said. “That for my father, there was only ever one woman he loved, and it was her for him, or nothing. You are that for me. I love you, and I will only ever love you until I die —

He'll come back," Simon said again. "For you.

Jem drew back from her, looking dazed. "By the Angel," he said. "Perhaps we do need a chaperon.

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

But you love her.” Will stared at him. “Of course I do,” he said finally. “I had come to think I would never love anyone, but I love her.

Not everything that's true needs to be said.

I never said that. I just didn't correct you when you were, you know, wrong. Anyway, I just saved you from being burned to death, so I figure you're not allowed to be mad." -Jace

You know," Clary said, "most psychologists agree that hostility is really just sublimated sexual attraction.

This is bad," said Jace. "You said that before." "It seemed worth repeating.

You're staring at me," Simon said. "Why are you staring at me? Have I got something on my face?

And of course you wouldn't be going alone,' Will said impatiently. 'I would go with you. I wouldn't let anything happen to you.

I know there are monsters on this earth,' said Tessa. 'You cannot tell me otherwise. I have seen them.

Oh, I can never get enough. Which, incidentally, is what your sister said when--

What would demons," she said, "want with our microwave?

If you don’t go after Luke,” Clary said, enunciating very clearly, “I, personally, will kill you.” For a moment Jocelyn looked astonished. Then she smiled. “Well,” she said, “if you put it like that.

Clary grinned at Luke. “So you’re not moving to Idris, I take it?” “Nah,” he said. He looked as happy as she’d ever seen him. “The pizza here is terrible.

Somebody's girlfriend," she said. "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.

He has many things I haven’t got,” said Jace. “Like nearsightedness, bad posture, and an appalling lack of coordination.” -Jace about Simon, pg. 331-

Well, I hate to tell you this," she said, "but your friend is an asshole." "He's not my friend," said Simon. "And I couldn't agree with you more, actually." -Maia & Simon about Jace, pg.49-

Exsanguinated," said Jace, impressed. "That's a big word." "And you're a big-" "Tsk tsk," he interrupted. "No swearing in church.

You’re seventeen,” Magnus said. “You can’t have wasted a life you’ve barely lived.

Dudes," He said, "Do not follow other dudes to the bathroom." Isabelle sighed. "Latent homosexual panic will do you in every time

I care about you," Simon said. "I always cared about you.

You know," Kirk said finally, breaking the silence. "I see it. He is pretty hot.

That's right," he said. "I created a 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 from at home. And lo and behold, my diabolical plan is working.

Clary," Jace said again. "You know: short, redheaded, bad temper.

Perhaps," he said, "we should discuss our arrangements, then.

Lightwoods,” Magnus said. “They always have to have the last word.

You can take your Law," she said in a measured tone, "and shove it right up your-

Kyle is a werewolf?"asked Simon "Of course he's a werewolf,you moron"said Jace

Alec would have said he could have benefited from a bit more in the way of constructive cowardice.

We are one now, little brother, you and I," Sebastian said. "We are one.

You could know a man not by what his friends said about him, but by how he treated his servants.

Who ever said the world was fair?

Baby?" She perched beside him in the chair. "You're kidding me right?" "I was trying it out, no?" "no," she said firmly Simon & Clary

Will interrupted. "Henry," he said, "you're on fire. You do know that, don't you?

So you're a Shadowhunter,' Nate said. 'De Quincey told me that you lot were monsters.' 'Was that before or after he tried to eat you?' Will inquired.

You know what the worst thing I can imagine is? Simon had said. Not trusting someone I love.

I never cared,” he said. “I wanted you anyway. I always wanted you.

Well, there aren’t any graves in mundane wedding ceremonies,” said Tessa. “Though your ability to quote the Bible is impressive. Better than my aunt Harriet’s.” “Did you hear that, James? She just compared us to her aunt Harriet.

Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will's sleeve. "You are my parabatai," he said, "You said once I could ask anything of you.

You know,” Cecily said, “you really didn’t have to throw that man through the window.

Clary,” Jocelyn said. “I want you to meet Tessa Gray.

Sometimes one must choose whether to be kind or honorable," he said. "Sometimes one cannot be both.

If there is a life after this one, he said, let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.

she was glad she had been scarred. She said that whoever loved her now would love her true self, and not her pretty face.

Will looking after her, sighed.not for her, he said under his breath, though there was no one to hear him, for me.... And he leaned his head against the cold iron gate.

The Chairman likes you.” “Is that good?” “I never date anyone my cat doesn’t like,” Magnus said easily, and stood up.

I tell so many lies, sweetheart," he said. "which one specifically?

Get over here. Sheldon's had an idea." "Who's Sheldon?", said Isabelle.

Sweet pea?'" Alec said. "I was just trying it out." Alec shook his head. "No." Magnus shrugged. "I'll keep at it.

She said that you've break my heart

So, technically," Simon said, "even though Jace isn't actually related to you, you have kissed your brother.

He saved your life,” Clary pointed out. “Details,” said Simon dismissively.

As dull as Nate Gray is," Will said, "his head is not actually filled with gears, Henry. He's a human.

What are you thinking?" "Just how different everything down there is now, you know, now that I can see." "Everything down there is exactly the same," he said. "You're the one that's different.

And what colour do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?' 'Mauve,' said Will.

Then I'll come,' said Tessa, 'I've never been on a train.' Will threw up his hands. 'That's it? You're coming because you've never been on a train before?' 'Yes.

Yech," said Simon. "Don't 'yech' me. You're the one with the magical spit.

He glanced furtively up and down the hallway. "Hodge too. Everyone wants to talk to me. Except you, I bet you don't want to talk to me," said Jace. "No," said Clary. "I want to eat. I'm starving.

You cannot save every fallen bird," said Woolsey. "One will do," said Magnus.

You screamed.” Will said. “Is that all you did?” “I screamed a great deal.” Tatiana sounded injured.

Gracious," said Cecily. "You must be Mr. Sallows." "Nephilim," observed the shop owner gloomily. "I detest Nephilim." "Hmph," said Cecily. "Charmed, I'm sure.

Jem?" he said. 'It is you, James?' 'Who else?' Jem's voice.

Jem touched the parabatai rune on his shoulder, through the thin material of his nightshirt. "I am not alone," he said. "Wherever we are, we are as one.

Dear me," said Will, and he took another bite of his apple. "Is it because I'm better-looking than you?

I have come to understand something about novels," Tessa said. "And what is that?" "They are not true.

Every heart has its own melody," he said. "You know mine. - James Carstairs

Come with me," she said. "Stay with me. Be with me. See everything with me. I have traveled the world and seen so much, but there is so much more, and no one I would rather see it with than you. I would go everywhere and anywhere with you, Jem Carstairs.

I am sorry," Will said. "No," Jem said... "Don't be ordinary like that. Don't say you're sorry.

The Will I fell in love with, she almost said."And be Will," she finished instead. "Or I shall hit you with my umbrella.

The first one is always the hardest," he said. "The first?" "The first one you love who dies," he said. "It gets easier, after.

I can't get enough adventure," Magnus said lightly. "And adventure cannot get enough of me.

Are you, monsieur, a man of your word?" "It really depends upon the word," Magnus said. "There are so many wonderful words...

Hello," Magnus said to the monkey. The monkey did not reply. "I shall call you Ragnor.

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

I do not mean to seem indelicate or ungrateful," said Linette Owens, "but are you a dangerous lunatic?

[Magnus] reminded himself of his manners, and bowed. "Charmed," he said. "Or whatever effect would please you best, I'm sure.

How'd you get Magnus to let Jace leave?" "Traded him for Alec," Clary said.

Did you like it?" he said. "I could have given you...jewelry, but I wanted it to be something that was wholly yours. That no one else would hear or own. And I am not good with words, so I wrote how I felt about you in music." He paused. "Did you like it?

Oh God.” said Magnus, “they’re dead. They’re all dead!

Why did he kiss you?" she said.

You called me and said you were home and wanted to go out for a pizza." "I did? What time is it?" "Time for pizza," [Catarina] replied.

Take my hands,” Alec said. “And take my strength too. Whatever of it you can use to— to keep yourself going.

There's no need to clarify my finger snap," said Magnus. "The implication was clear in the snap itself.
