1 " I am not perfectly certain I believe in marriage. Why have just one bonbon when you can have the box? "
― Cassandra Clare , Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale (The Bane Chronicles, #3)
2 " There was also the fact that sometimes vampires committed crimes worse than murder. They commited crimes against fashion. "
3 " One can give up many things for love, but one should not give up oneself. "
4 " I shall never eat duck again. I cannot believe I used to like duck. The duck betrayed me. "
5 " Years later Magnus would return to London and Camille Belcourt's side, and find it not all that he had dreamed. Years later another desperate Herondale boy with blue, blue eyes would come to his door, shaking with the cold of the rain and his own wretchedness, and this one Magnus would be able to help. "
6 " I have very few rules in life, but one of them is to never decline an adventure. The others are: to avoid becoming romantically entangled with sea creatures; to always ask for what you want, because the worst thing that can happen is embarrassment but the best thing that can happen is nudity; to demand ready money up front; and to never play cards with Catarina Loss. "
7 " Magnus had been alive hundreds of years himself, and yet the simplest things could turn a day into a jewel, and a succession of days into a glittering chain that went on and on. Here was the simplest thing: a pretty girl liked him, and the day shone. "
8 " I want my people to be protected, strong, and not to be driven into corners until they either become killers or are killed! "
9 " Vampires bore a grudge longer than any technically living creatures, and whenever they were in a bad temper, they expressed themselves through murder. "
10 " I thought of love as a game. It is not a game. It is more serious than death. "
11 " Ladies' hearts are like china on a mantelpiece. There are so many of them, and it is so easy to break them without noticing. "
12 " Excuse me, Bane?" said Roderick Morgenstern. "Are you attending?" "I'm so sorry," Magnus said politely. "Somebody incredibly attractive just came into the room, and I ceased to pay attention to a word you were saying. "
13 " Flirting? We were merely indulging in a little risqué conversation," Magnus said, offended."When I begin to flirt, I assure you the entire room will know. My flirtations cause sensations. "
14 " Very well," Magnus said. "Let us pause for a moment and consider—Oh, you have already run off Splendid. "
15 " Ma'am," Magnus said, advancing. "I must counsel you not to exit the carriage while a demon-slaying is in progress. "
16 " No fewer than four of my esteemed elders told me I was on no account to ever converse with you, so I vowed that I would know you. My name is Edmund Herondale. May I ask your name? They reffered to you only as 'that disgraceful one-warlock show. "
17 " Always ask for what you want, because the worst thing that can happen is embarrassment but the best thing that can happen is nudity. "
18 " The most remarkable thing about him were his eyes. They were laughing eyes, at once both joyous and tender: they were the radiant pale blue of a sky slipping toward evening in Heaven, when angels who had been sweet all day found themselves tempted to sin. "
19 " I do not mean to seem indelicate or ungrateful," said Linette Owens, "but are you a dangerous lunatic? "
20 " I fear I must agree," Magnus murmured. He pressed a hand over his heart and his new peacock-blue waistcoast. "I strive to find some respect in my heart for you, but alas! It seems an impossible quest. "
