Favorite Quotes: The Mortal Instruments

O Favorite Quotes será um meme semanal, mais especificamente postado nas terças-feiras, contendo algumas de minhas passagens favoritas de livros que já li.

Espero que ainda não estejam cansados de ler sobre minha paixão por The Mortal Instruments, da Cassandra Clare, aqui, pessoas, pois não pretendo parar nem tão cedo. Selecionei algumas passagens pertencentes à primeira trilogia, misturadas, até para não jogar spoilers específicos sem querer.

O primeiro volume da série foi recentemente lançado no Brasil como Cidade dos Ossos pela Galera Record; e traz Clary, aparentemente uma mundana, em um mundo perigoso e cheio de criaturas fantásticas, começando a descobrir quem realmente é. Leiam e divirtam-se!

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?”

Jace said, “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.”
“Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting.”

“Don't touch any of my weapons without my permission.”

“Well, there goes my plan for selling them all on eBay.” Clary muttered.
“Selling them on what?”
Clary smiled blandly at him. “A mythical place of great magical power.”

“Don't.” Clary raised a warning hand. “I'm not really in the mood right now.”

“That's got to be the first time a girl's ever said that to me,” Jace mused.

Beautiful. He'd called her beautiful. Nobody had ever called her that before, except her mother, which didn't count. Mothers were required to think you were beautiful.

“Well, I’m not kissing the mundane,” said Jace. "I’d rather stay down here and rot.”

“Forever?” said Simon. “Forever’s an awfully long time.”
Jace raised his eyebrows. “I knew it," he said. "You want to kiss me, don’t you?”

“That does it,” said Jace. “I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year.”

“Why?” Isabelle said.
“So you can look up 'fun.' I'm not sure you know what it means.”

“There is no pretending,” Jace said with absolute clarity. “I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.”

“You could have fooled me. Everytime I called you, Luke said you were sick. I figured you were avoiding me. Again.”

“I wasn't. I did want to talk to you. I've been thinking about you all the time.”
“I've been thinking about you, too.”
“I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know.”
“I know. Everytime you almost die, I almost die myself.”

“You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?”
“A long one?”

“You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me.” She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was, covered in blood and dirt, he was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. “But I don’t want anything else in the world.”

“Since I've met you, everything I've done has been in part because of you. I can't untie myself from you, Clary — not my heart or my blood or my mind or any other part of me. And I don't want to.”

“And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before — bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it — but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”
