The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5) QUOTES

1 " What's next? You want to convince me they're making another crap Last Airbender movie? "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

2 " Simon blinked himself awake, confused, for a moment, why he was in a dungeon that smelled of dung rather than his Brooklyn bedroom - then, once he got his bearings, confused all over again about why he was being awoken in the middle of the night by a wide-eyed Scotsman.

"Is there a fire?" Simon asked. "There better be a fire. Or a demon attack. And I'm not talking about some puny lower-lever demon, mind you. You want to wake me up in the middle of a dream about rock superstardom, it better be a Greater Demon. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

3 " Entreat me not to leave thee,

Or return from following after thee—

For whither thou goest, I will go,

And where thou lodgest, I will lodge.

Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.

Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried.

The Angel do so to me, and more also,

If aught but death part thee and me. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

4 " Jon gave Simon a patronizing pat on the shoulder. “I’m going to miss your witty repartee this summer, Lewis.”

“I’m going to hope you get eaten by a spider demon this summer, Cartwright.”

George slipped an arm around both of them, grinning maniacally and humming “Can You Feel the Love Tonight? "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

5 " Not the letter again?” Simon’s roommate at the Academy, George Lovelace, groaned. He flung himself down on his bed, sweeping an arm melodramatically across his forehead. “Oh, Isabelle, my darling, if I stare at this letter long enough, maybe I’ll telepathically woo you back to my weeping bosom. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

6 " He and George had even named the rats that lived behind their walls. Every night, they left Jon Cartwright Jr., III, and IV a piece of stale bread to nibble, in hopes they’d prefer the crumbs to human feet. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

7 " Loving someone doesn't mean you're never going to make mistakes. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

8 " Have you never seen a movie? Read a comic book? That's always how it starts - just a little temptation, just a little taste of evil, and then BAM, your light saber turns red and you're breathing through a big black mask and slicing off your son's hand just to be mean."
They looked at him blankly. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

9 " History, the way the teachers liked it, was a racetrack, a straight shot from start to finish line; life itself was more of a maze. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

10 " It's obvious to me that you don't want to be here," Robert told his daughter.

"What gave it away? The fact that I told you a million times that I didn't want to come? That I didn't want to play your stupid game? That I thought it was cruel and manipulative and a total waste of time?"

"Yes," Robert said. "That. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

11 " No. You don't get to call me Izzy, you don't send me letters, you don't follow me into dark corridors and try to save me from rats."
"Trust me, we see a rat, it's every man for himself. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

12 " So, I guess, thanks for sticking around for that whole thing with my dad," Isabelle said.
"You didn't exactly give me much of a choice," Simon pointed out.
Isabelle laughed, almost fondly. "You really have no idea how a social encounter is supposed to work, do you? I say 'thank you'; you say 'you're welcome.'"
"Like, if I said, thank you for fooling all my friends into thinking you were a wild-and-crazy demon summoner so that they could get in trouble with the dean, you would say...?"
"You're welcome for teaching them all a valuable lesson." She grinned. "

13 " It's Isabelle," George said.
Simon leaped out of bed - or, gallantly tried to, at least. He got a bit tangled in his sheets, so it was more like he tumbled-twisted-THUDDED out of bed, but eventually he made it to his feet, ready to charge into action. "What happened to Isabelle? "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

14 " You will be tempted to think this ordeal marks you as weak. Instead, remember it as proof of your strength. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

15 " Against all odds, the Academy had come to feel like home. A slimy, moldy, dungeonlike home without working toilets, maybe, but home nevertheless. He and George had even named the rats that lived behind their walls. Every night, they left Jon Cartwright Jr., III, and IV a piece of stale bread to nibble, in hopes they'd prefer the crumbs to human feet. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

16 " The moment they met, Simon had decided that if looks matched personalities, Jon Cartwright would look like a horse's ass. Unfortunately, there is no justice in the world, and he looked instead like a walking Ken doll. Sometimes first impressions were misleading; sometimes they peered straight through to a person's inner soul. Simon was as sure now as he'd ever been: Jon's inner soul was a horse's ass. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

17 " Simon stood up and said the first thing that popped into his mind. "I just wanted to tell you that we all really enjoyed that beef stew they saved for dinner. You should serve that again."

Dean Penhallow gave him an odd look. " those weren't beets, Simon."

This didn't surprise him. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

18 " This time he was dreaming of a VIP room backstage at the club, filled with champagne and coffee, a gaggle of groupies trying to break down the door so that - in the dream, Simon somehow knew this was their intent - they could tear of his clothes and ravish him. "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

19 " He hated to admit it, but this was one of the things about demon amnesia that bothered him the most. What kind of seventeen-year-old guy doesn’t know whether or not he’s a virgin? "

― Cassandra Clare , The Evil We Love (Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, #5)

20 " Love, real love, is being seen. Being known. Knowing the ugliest part of someone, and loving them anyway. And... I guess I think two people in love become something else, something more than the sum of their parts, you know? That it must be like you’re creating a new world that exists just for the two of you. You’re gods of your own pocket universe. "
