"It's not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they burn your body - dust to dust, in the literal sense.

"Bloodthirsty little beasts. Never trust a duck."
"One must always be careful of books,"said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."

"So you're a Shadowhunter,' Nate said. 'De Quincey told me that you lot were monsters.''Was that before or after he tried to eat you?' Will inquired."
