This Post is Perfect for Fans of Shadowhunter Lines

We meet again!

The Shadowhunter world has been heavy on my mind lately. While I impatiently wait for Cassandra Clare to grace us with the next installment of these fantastic stories, I decided to start flipping through the various sagas and do something fun. I would flip through, and once I saw something I had highlighted or underlined, I wrote it down. So here, for your pleasure, are some lines from the Shadowhunter novels I liked enough to take note of, in no particular order. Here we go :)

1. "Do reasons matter when there's nothing that can be done to change things?" -Will Herondale, Clockwork Angel

2. And why, when she knew that he was the worst thing in the world for her, did sending him away seem like such a terrible mistake? -Clockwork Prince

3. "We see our own souls in the eyes of others. How long has it been since you have seen that you have a soul?" -Tessa Grey, Clockwork Princess

4. She thought of the secrets people kept and the way they were like scars or wounds beneath the skin. You could not always see them, but if you touched on them in the wrong way, you could cause great pain. -Chain of Gold

5. He ran a hand through his hair, which was already tumbling about his head like unkempt sunshine. -Chain of Iron

6. "If you insist on disavowing that which is ugly about what you do, you will never learn from your mistakes." -Magnus Bane, City of Bones

7. "Desire is not always lessened by disgust. Nor can it be bestowed, like a favor, to those most deserving of it." -the Fae queen, City of Ashes

8. It was stupid to hope, she knew. But sometimes hope was all you had. -City of Lost Souls

9. ...her remembered face like the distant familiar beauty of stars, not to be touched but to shine in front of his eyes at night. -The Bane Chronicles

10. "The past happens to us. But we choose our future." -Jem Carstairs, Ghosts of the Shadow Market

11. "So I see who I am in your eyes, and I try to be that person, because you have faith in that person and I think faith might be enough to make me what you want." -Jace Herondale, City of Fallen Angels

12. "I know how you think you feel about me. You don't, though. You just like me because I'm safe. There's no risk. And then you never have to get to have a real relationship, because you can use me as an excuse." -Jace Herondale, City of Glass

13. ...and they both knew the worst tragedies were born of love. -The Red Scrolls of Magic

14. There was something so carefree, so joyous in the music of her laugh, it was almost like a promise. -Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy

15. "...it is a place where mortal blood is turned to fire. It is a place of beauty and terror beyond what can be imagined here. I have ridden with the Wild Hunt. I have carved a clear path of freedom among the stars and outrun the wind. And now I am asked to walk upon the earth again." -Mark Blackthorn, Lady Midnight

16. "That is love, son of thorns. We welcome its cruelest blows and when we bleed from them, we whisper our thanks." -the Fae queen, Lord of Shadows

17. Making promises you can't keep is worse than making no promises at all. -Queen of Air and Darkness
