The Mortal Instruments: Book 1City of Bones
by Cassandra Clare
Memorable Quotes by Jace:
“"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for"”
“And next time you're planning to injure yourself to get my attention, just remember that a little sweet talk works wonders.”
“I may not believe in sin," he said, "but I do feel guilt. We Shadowhunters live by a code, and that code isn't flexible. Honor, fault, penance, those are real to us, and they have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with who we are. This who I am, Clary," he said desperately. "I am one of the Clave. It's in my blood and bones. So tell me, if you're so sure this wasn't my fault, why is it that the first thought in my mind when I saw Abbadon wasn't from my fellow warriors but for you?" His other hand came up; he was holding her face, prisoned between his palms. "I know-I knew-Alec wasn't acting like himself. I knew something was wrong. But all I could think about was you . . .”
“I said his poetry was terrible. It sounds like he ate a dictionary and started vomiting up words at random.”
“"...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."”
“"It says 'Shadowhunters; looking better in black than the widows of our enemies since 1234.'"”
“A Diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?”
“"It's a girl," Jace said,recovering his composure. "Surely you've seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one."”
“"The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me."”
“Don't order any of the faerie food. It tends to make humans a little crazy. One minute your munching on a faerie plum, the next minute you're running naked down Madison Avenue with antlers on your head. Not that this has ever happened to me.”
“"He knew his falcon loved him, and when he was certain it was not just tamed but perfectly tamed, he went to his father and showed him what he had done,expecting him to be proud. Instead his father took the bird, now tame and trusting, in his hands and broke its neck. 'I told you to make it obedient,'his father said, and droped the falcon's lifeless body to the ground. "Instead, you taught it to love you. Falcons are not meant to be loving pets: They are fierce and wild, savage and cruel. This bird was not tamed; it was broken".”
“'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 they want to take a bath with the duckie."”
“If there was such a thing as terminal literalism, you’d have died in childhood.”
“It wouldn't be my move. First the candy and flowers, then the apology letters, then the ravenous demon hordes. In that order.”

The Mortal Instruments: Book 2City of Ashes
by Cassandra Clare
Memorable Quotes by Jace:
“I prefer to think that I'm a liar in a way that's uniquely my own.”
“Enormous? Did you just call me fat?”
“Well, I'm not kissing the mundane, I'd rather stay down here and rot.”
“I can only assume, that mortal emotions amuse you because you have none of your own.”
“No, I'm just a very naughty boy. I do all sorts of bad things. I kick kittens. I make rude gestures at nuns.”
“If I made a joke about just dropping in would you write me off as a cliché?”
“My jacket," said Jace in a rage, and stabbed down at the thing as it rose, piercing its back. It shrieked and disappeared. "I loved that jacket.”
“A low chuckle broke the tension. "All right, all right, you've tortured him enough. I'm here."”
“"Drink my blood, idiot," he whispered. "Drink it."”
“I'll just have to change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.'”
“Are you still mad?”
“You know the how the bonds of family are, my lady... They cling as tightly as vines. And sometimes, like vines, they cling tight enough to kill.”
“Usually, I’m remarkably good-natured. Try me on any day that doesn’t end in y.”

The Mortal Instruments: Book 3City of Glass
by Cassandra Clare
Memorable Quotes by Jace:
“I am a man and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone, woman, and bring me something brown.”
“I have to say, I'm surprised. I've always been told my presence brightened up any room. One might think that went doubly for dank underground cells.”
“I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there's a life after that, I'll love you then.”
“Jace felt a flash of fear for Clary, mixed with an odd sort of pride-of course she was at the center of things. That was his Clary.”
“Peaceful. He thought, suddenly, of Clary-Clary as he had last seen her, asleep, with her hair spread across the pillow and her cheek on her hand. He had thought then that he had never seen anything so peaceful in his life, but of course she had only been sleeping, like anyone else might sleep. It hadn't been her peace that had surprised him, but his own. The peace he felt at being with her was like nothing he had ever known before.”
“You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me.”
“Lots of girls love that sensitive-undead thing. But I'd drop that whole musician angle if I were you. Vampire rock stars are played out, and besides, you can't possibly be very good.”
“He taught me there's a place on a man's back where, if you sink a blade in, you can pierce his heart and severe his spine, all at once, Sebastian had said. I guess we got the same birthday present that year big brother, Jace thought. Didn't we?”
“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 more 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.”
“It's my cologne, Eau de Recent Injury.”
“I don't mean it like that," he said. "I won't touch you, not if you don't want me to. I know it's wrong - God, it's all kinds of wrong - but I just want to lie down with you and wake up with you, just once, just once ever in my life.”
“Well, how about that," said Jace. "A guy attends the funeral of his nine-year-old brother and misses all the fun.”
“I've never killed a human being with one of these before," said Jace. "But I'm willing to try.”
“Ouch," he said, staring up at the sky. "I think I pulled something.”
“I got the wrong window at first. Gave your friend in the next cell something of a shock. Attractive fellow, what with the beard and the rags. Kind of reminds me of the street folk back home.”
“That's right," he said. "I created a bunch of Forsaken warriors, had them attack the Institute and kill Madeleine and nearly kill the rest of us, just so that I could keep Clary at home. And lo and behold, my diabolical plan is working.”
“Clary. You know: short, redheaded, bad temper.”
“You're my sister. My sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you"---he laughed soundlessly and without any humor---"to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what I want to do.”
