"I am a badass and recognize that you too are a badass."

“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?" asked Jace. "It was Simon who promised you the sponge bath," Clary said hastily. "As soon as I’m back on my feet, handsome," said Simon. "I knew we should have left you a rat.” - Jace, Simon, and Clary

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?'Lady Haven asked...... , "Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself." ..."At least," she said, "you don't have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland."

“But you have to learn to bend a little,” said Clary with a yawn. Despite the story’s content, the rhythm of Jace’s voice had made her sleepy. “Or you’ll break.” “Not if your strong enough,” said Jace firmly. He reached out, and she felt the back of his hand brush her cheek…” JACE WAYLAND AND CLARY FRAY “He made a sound like a choked laughed before he reached out and pulled her into her arms. She was aware of Luke watching them from the window, but she shut her eyes resolutely and buried her face against Jace's shoulder.

"The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me. (Jace)" "Don't tell me," Jace said, "Simon's turned himself into an ocelot and you want me to do something about it before Isabelle makes him into a stole. Well, you'll have have to wait till tomorrow. I'm out of commission." He pointed at himself - he was wearing blue pajamas with a hole in the sleeve. "Look. Jammies." "Jace," Clary said, "this is important." "Don't tell me," he said. "You've got a drawing emergency. You need a nude model. Well, I'm not in the mood" "I have a high pain threshold. In fact, it's more of a large and tastfully decorated foyer than a threshold. But I do get easily bored" (Jace)

The rat, huddled in the hollow of her palms, squeaked glumly. Delighted, she hugged him to her chest."Oh, poor baby," she crooned, almost as if he really were a pet. "Poor Simon, it'll be fine, I promise---" "I wouldn't feel too sorry for him," Jace said. "That's probably the closet he's ever been to second base."

"To love is to destroy, and to be loved is to be destroyed." - Jace Wayland
