“It is better than going on loving someone who cannot love me back. Better wasting all that feelings"
-Tessa gray”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel

“Nice work in their, Herondale, setting the place on fire," Gabriel observed. "Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation."
"Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact?" Will demanded with mock horror. "Clearly I have been doing somethin wrong. Or no doing something wrong, as the case may be." He banged on the side of the carriage. "Thomas!" We must away from here at once to the nearest brothel! I seek scandal and low companionship."
Thomas snorted and muttered somethin that sounded like "bosh", which Will ignored.
Gabriel's face darkened. "Is there anything that isn't a joke to you?"
Nothing that comes to mind."
"You know," Gabriel said, "there was a time I thought we could be friends, Will"
"There was a time I thought I was a ferret," Will said, "but it turned out to be the opium haze. Did you know it had that effect? Becausen I didn't.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“I think if two souls are meant to be together, they will remain together on the Wheel and be together again in the life after this one, whatever happens to us now.”

― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Tessa was only half way down the corridor when they caught up to her -Will and Jem, walking on either side of her. "you didn't really think we weren't going to come along, did you?" Will asked, raising his hand and letting his witchlight fare up between his fingers, lighting the corridor to daylight brightness. Charlotte, hurrying along ahead of them, turned and frowned, but said nothing.
"I know you can't leave anything well alone," Tessa replied, looking straight ahead. "But I though better of Jem."
"Where Will goes, I go," Jem said good-naturedly. "And besides, I'm as curious as he is.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“You have a power of incalculable value. You need ask nothing of anyone. You need depend on no one. You are free, and that freedom is a gift.”

“He didn't know what books meant to her, that books were symbols of truth and meaning ...”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“How can you not understand?" He pointed at her books. "You read novels. Obviously, I'm here to rescue you. Don't I look like Sir Galahad?" He raised his arms dramatically. "My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure---”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Bisogna essere prudenti con i libri, perché le parole hanno il potere di cambiarci.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Sophie has a gift," she said. "She has the Sight. She can see what others do not. In her old life she often wondered if she was mad. Now she knows that she is not mad but special.
There, she was only a parlor maid, who would likely have lost her position once her looks had faded. Now she is a valued member of our household, a gifted girl with much to contribute.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Now that you know the truth, you can never go back.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Words have the power to change us...”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Sin él, estaba completamente sola en el mundo. No tenía a nadie. Nadie en el mundo entero a quien le importara si vivía o moría. A veces, el horror de esa idea amenazaba con superarla y hundirla en una oscuridad sin fondo de la que no regresaría. Si no le importas a nadie en el mundo, ¿existes realmente?”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Siempre hay que tener cuidado con los libros, y con lo que contienen, porque las palabras tienen el poder de cambiarnos.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel
“Tessa had even pleaded with Magnus to come in with her to help break the news, but he had refused, on the grounds that internecine Shadowhunter dramas had nothing to do with him, and he had a novel to get back to besides.”

― Orson Scott Card, quote from Shadow Puppets
“How to forgive the world for its beauty, which merely disguises its ugliness; for its gentleness, which merely cloaks its cruelty; for its illusion of continuity, seamlessly, as the night follows the day, so to speak- whereas in reality life is a series of brutal raptures, falling upon your defenseless hands, like the blows of a woodman's axe?”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from The Moor's Last Sigh
“Dude, you tried to kidnap her to bait her mom into coming to you. Then you tried to turn her mom into a pixie. Come on.

That is very deadbeat dad stuff right there.”

Behind the TearsBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
