This one's my absolute favorite:

"'That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I' am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain." --Simon


"It means 'Shadowhunters: Looking Better in Black Than the Widows of our Enemies Since 1234.'" -- Jace

"'the cuckoo bird,' she said. 'You see, cuckoos are parasites. They lay their eggs in other birds' nests. When the egg hatches, the baby cuckoo pushes the other baby birds out of the nest. The poor parent birds work themselves to death trying to find enough food to feed the enormous cuckoo child who has murdered their babies and taken their places.'
'Enormous?' said Jace. 'Did you just call me fat?'
'It was an analogy.'
'I am not fat.'
-- Jace and the Inquisitor

""Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?"
"If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.""
--Clary and Jace





Kinda sad but:

"Let me put it this way, my father believed in a righteous God. Deus volt, that was his motto- 'because God wills it.' It was the Crusaders' motto, and they went into battle and were slautered just like my father. And when I saw him lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, Clary, and there might not, but I don't think it matters. Either way we're on our own." --Jace

"Just because you call an electric eel a rubber duck doesn't make it a rubber duck, does it? And God help the poor bastard who decides he wants to take a bath with the duckie."
- Jace Wayland

=D

* "Besides, it's not a favor," Simon added, "it's a poetry slam around the block from your house. It's not like I'm inviting you to some orgy in Hoboken. Your mom can come along if she wants."

"ORGY IN HOBOKEN!" Clary heard someone, probably Eric, yell. Another cymbal crashed.



*"I'll get the coffee if you find us a seat. What do you want?"

"Just coffee. Black—like my soul."



*"You're not gay, are you?"

Simon's greenish color deepened. "If I were, I would dress better."



* Clary shook her head. "Don't stop there. I suppose there are also, what, vampires and werewolves and zombies?"

"Of course there are," Jace informed her. "Although you mostly find zombies farther south, where the voudun priests are."

"What about mummies? Do they only hang around Egypt?"

"Don't be ridiculous. No one believes in mummies."



*"I don't want tea," said Clary, with muffled force. "I want to find my mother. And then I want to find out who took her in the first place, and I want to kill them."

"Unfortunately," said Hodge, "we're all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it's either tea or nothing."



*"We love reproducing. It's one of our favorite things."



*"You've got to be kidding me," Simon said, blinking. "Demon slayers take the subway?"

"It's faster than driving."

"I thought it'd be something cooler, like a van with 'Death to Demons' painted on the outside, or…"



*"Well, I'd certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death."



*"What are all these?" Clary asked.

"Vials of holy water, blessed knives, steel and silver blades," Jace said, piling the weapons on the floor beside him, "electrum wire—not much use at the moment, but it's always good to have spare—silver bullets, charms of protection, crucifixes, stars of David—"

"Jesus," said Clary.

"I doubt he'd fit."





I made myself a word document with all my quotes

" Remember when we were back at teh hotel and you said if we make it out alive you'll dress up in a nurse outfit and give me a spongebath"- Jace
"Actually Simon said he'll give you the spongebath"- Clary
"as soon as im on my feet handsome"- Simon

Legendary...

XDDDDDD

a good one!

Clary: Don't, I'm not really in the mood right now
Jace: That's got to be the first time a girl's ever said that to me

this website has a lot of quotes from City of Bones.

Here are my favorites from City of Bones:
1) Jace: Your friend's poetry is terrible...It sounds like he ate a dictionary and started vomiting up words at random.
2) Clary:Those girls on the other side of the car are staring at you.
Jace: Of course they are. I am stunningly attractive."
Clary: Haven't you heard that modesty is an attractive trait?
Jace: Only from ugly people.
3) Clary thinking silently to Valentine: That sounds terrific. Just you and your comatose wife, your shell-shocked son, and your daughter who hates your guts....Yeah, that sounds like a perfect family reunion.
4) Clary: I figured all your classes were Slaughter 101 and Beheading for Beginners.
5) Clary: Well, there goes my plan for selling them (blades) on eBay.
Jace: Selling them on what?
Clary: A mythical place of great magical power.
6) Simon: I thought it'd be something cooler, like a van with "Death to Demons" painted on the outside...
7) Simon: If this is your idea of glamour, I'm having second thoughts about letting you make me over.
8 ) Jace: I don't hate them (Silent Brothers). I'm afraid of them. It's not the same thing.
Simon: I thought they were librarians.
Luke: They are librarians.
Simon: Those must be some killer late fees.
9) Clary: Sarcasm is the refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.
Jace: I can't help it. I use my rapier wit to hide my inner pain.
10) Madame Dorothea: Of course there's a parlour. Where else would I entertain?
Jace: I'll just leave my hat with the footman.
11) Isabelle: Maybe we should all have codenames.
Jace: Good idea. I shall be Hotschaft von Hugenstein.
12) Alec muttered a retort into his coffee. It rhymed with something that sounded a lot more like "ducking glass mole."
13) Jace: I wouldn't feel too sorry for him (Simon, as a rat). That's probably the closest he's ever gotten to second base.
Clary: Shut up.
14) Clary to Magnus: Simon's not dim-witted.
Jace: It's true. He just looks dim-witted. Really, his intelligence is quite average.
15) Jace: He (Simon) has many things I haven't got. Like nearsightedness, bad posture, and an apalling lack of coordination.
16) Simon: Was it weird, hearing from Jace? I mean, since you found out...
Clary: Yes? Since I found out what? That he's a killer transvestite who molests cats?
Simon: No wonder that cat of his hates everyone.
Clary: Oh, shut up, Simon.
Of course, I also like the other quotes that everyone has posted.

"8 ) Jace: I don't hate them (Silent Brothers). I'm afraid of them. It's not the same thing.
Simon: I thought they were librarians.
Luke: They are librarians.
Simon: Those must be some killer late fees."


hahahaha <3 I love this one

I found so many one-liners that made me laugh out loud, I would have to go back and look for them. I especially like Jace's quips!

I don't know which I would rather do-- go on and read City of Ashes, or review City of Bones and pay attention to the things I missed, as well as write down the lines that made me love the book!

--Angelscrest

Go on with CoA first ^^ then you'll have even more one-liners to write down ^^

Gosh this thread contains alot of funny quotes, I can't deny that I laugh so hard.. Lol..

I have these two quotes in mind:

Quote:

"Only people with no purpose are unhappy. I've got a purpose." - Jace

Quote:

"The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy and to be loved is to be the one destroyed." - Jace

^_^ m.eo.w
