“Wo ai ni, Tessa,” he whispered. “Wo bu xiang shi qu ni.” She knew, without knowing how she knew, what the words meant. I love you. And I don’t want to lose you.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Prince
“This...this...thing?"
"A parsnip?" Jem suggested
"A parsnip planted in satan's own garden," said Will. He glanced about. "I dont suppose there's a dog I could feed it to?"
"There dont seem to be any pets about," Jem-who loved animals, even the inglorious and ill-tempered Church-observed.
"Probably all poisened by parsnips," said Will.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Prince
“Blue does not go with everything," Will told her. "It does not go with red, for instance."
"I have a red and blue stripped waistcoat, " henry interjected, reaching for the peas.
"And if that isn't proof that those two colours should not be seen together under Heaven, i dont know what is."
"Will," Charlotte said sharply. "Dont speak to Henry like that. Henry-" Henry raised his head.
"Yes?" Charlotte sighed.
"Thats Jessamine's plate your spooning peas onto not yours. Do pay attention, darling.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Prince
“I've never swum naked in the Thames, but I know I wouldn't like it."
"But think how entertaining for sightseers," said Tessa, and she saw Jem duck his head to hide the quick flash of his grin.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Prince
“- Allora vengo. Non ho mai preso un treno.
Will alzò le braccia al cielo. - Vieni perché non hai mai preso un treno prima d'ora? - Si - confermò Tessa, sapendo quanto il suo atteggiamento calmo lo facesse impazzire. - Mi piacerebbe prenderne uno, moltissimo.
- I treni sono grandi cose sudice - disse Will. - Non ti piacerà.
Tessa fu irremovibile. - Finché non avrò provato non posso sapere se mi piacerà o meno, no?”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Prince

Falling ManBookQuoters 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.
