Cassandra Clare citáty

strana 5

„„Člověk si musí vždy dávat pozor na knihy,“ řekla Tessa, „a co je v nich, protože slova mají moc nás změnit.““

„A teď potřebuji, abys pro mě udělal to, co nemohu udělat sám. Abys byl mým zrakem, který mi chybí. Abys byl mýma rukama, když nemůžu používat svoje vlastní. Abys byl mým srdcem, když to moje přestane bít.“

„Milovat znamená ničit, a být milování znamená být ničen.“

„Ten chlapec už nikdy neplakal a nikdy nezapomněl, co se naučil: že milovat znamená ničit a že být milován znamená být tím, kdo je ničen.“

“Aren't we forever?”

“Were you thinking about eating me?” Will inquired.
“No!”
“No one would blame you,” said Jem. “He’s very annoying.”

“Almost four hundred years is quite a lot to take even if you moisture regulary”

“I thought it was keep your friends close so you have someone to drive the car when you sneak over to your enemy's house at night and throw up in his mailbox,"
-Jace”

“Some are just born bad, and that's all there is to it.”

“Sometimes,” Robert said, “you choose whom you want to be with when you’re too young, and you change, and they don’t change with you.”

“I care about Alec," Jace said, fixing Magnus with an unswerving gaze. "I care about him more than I care about myself.”

“Jace Herondale. Once more a Herondale is the bringer of my deliverance. I should have anticipated.”

“He cut his glance toward Jace, who was walking a few paces ahead of them, apparently conversing with the cat. Clary wondered what they were talking about. Politics? Opera? The high price of tuna?”

“"The first time you saw me, I bet you didn't think, He's going to get me killed."
"The first time I saw you, I wished you'd go back to Idris. You know I don't like change."
"I grew on you, though."
"Eventually. Like a moss, or a skin disease."”

“I'm taking that away from you before you get to the India part, Magnus in a sari. Some things you don't ever forget.”

“This is so weird. I keep expecting the truck to start sinking."
"I can't believe you just went through what we went through and you think this is weird.”

“Here, I'll practice on you. Mom. I have something to tell you. I'm undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I'm here to tell you that the undead are just like you and me. Well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.”

“Love makes us liars. The Seelie Queen told me that. So don't judge me for lying about how I feel. You do it too.”

“Oh, for goodness' sake, is he really waking us up at this ungodly hour just to prove his love to you or something?”

“"Try to be a little sensible."
"We're on holiday!"
"You're always on holiday. You've been on holiday for thirty years!"
"I can't get enough adventure. And adventure can't get enough of me."”

“No offense to anyone involved, but the only one among you who seems formidable is Jace. An untrained Shadowhunter and a scared vampire...”

“Hearing my achievements recited is certainly gratifying, but I'm not sure what your point is, Alec.”

“When the self-congratulatory part of the evening is over, maybe we could get back to saving my best friend from being exsanguinated to death?”

“"We have to get out of here."
"No offense, but that's pretty obvious."”

“I thought you guys said only some of the vampire bikes could fly?"
"Only some of them can!"
"How did you know this was one of them?”

“"Are we long-lost friends, by chance?"
"No, we never got along all that well. Long-lost acquaintances? Compadres? My cat liked you."”

“So she had a box. Lots of people have boxes. They keep things in them. It's a growing trend, I hear.”

“What? I thought you came down right on the side of go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollars. 'The Law is the Law, Isabelle.' What was all that you were spouting?”

“I know Shadowhunters. I have for a long time. You are odd creatures. All fragile nobility and humanity on one side, and all the thoughtless fire of angels on the other. You especially, Herondale, for you have the fire of angels in your blood.”

“What they had between them was still as fragile as a flickering candle flame, as delicate as eggshell - and he knew that if it shattered, if he somehow let it break and be destroyed, something inside him would shatter too, something that could never be fixed.”

“Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you'd get dressed up in a nurse's outfit and give me a sponge bath?"
"Actually, I think you misheard," Clary said. "It was Simon who promised you the sponge bath."
Jace looked involuntarily over at Simon, who smiled at him widely. "As soon as I'm back on my feet, handsome.”

“"I know you don't have to help us out-it's a favor-"
"Stop. I don't do favors, Alec. I do things for you because-- well, why do you think I do them?”

“"Do you think it was a coincidence?"
"Do I think what was a coincidence?"
"That we wound up in Pandemonium the same night that Jace and the others just happened to be there, pursuing a demon? The night before Valentine came for my mother?"
Simon shook his head. "I don't believe in coincidences."
"Neither do I."
"But I have to admit, coincidence or not, it turned out to be a fortuitous occurrence."”
