"He won't be one of those girlishly pretty men with curly gold hair...He'll be dark, dangerous, too. Brave, certainly, but not without flaws. I like my heroes human."

"And second, keep in mind that you are a weapon. In theory, when you're done with training, you should be able to kick a hole in a wall or knock out a moose with a single punch.""I would never hit a moose,"said Clary. "They're endangered."

"As a rule of thumb, it was always safer if the Commander-in-Chief formulated a risky plan."

"You lose yourself, Erica, because with the right person, who you become together is something so much greater, more than you could even realize right now."

"Love one another. Love yourself. Then love will find you whole not half."

"Smiling, I cut across the quadrangle toward the commons. I felt better about life than I had in a very long time. We could do this, Lissa and me. We could do this together."

"Either I will love you, or I will love you if and only if you love me in return. I prefer the former."

"Bliss, I don’t normally do things like that. But I was second-guessing everything about coming here, and you were everything I needed. I don’t know how many times I’ve stopped myself from coming over here and knocking on your door. And yes, seeing you with Cade was definitely motivation, but more than that... I just like you, Bliss. As a teacher. As a person. As a guy."

"Roses! I swear you men have all your romance from the same worn book. Flowers are a good thing, a sweet thing to give a lady. But it is always roses, always red, and always perfect hothouse blooms when they can come by them."

"... it’s a blessed thing to love and feel loved in return."

"Two farewell gifts,"Sadie muttered, "from two gorgeous guys. I hate my life."

"I require three things in a man: he must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid."

"She bats her eyelashes like I’m throwing baseballs at them. I must be as romantic as Pete Rose’s last name."
