Jace Herondale Quotes

Jace Wayland (to Clary): There was a boy… and his father bought him a falcon for his sixth birthday. His father told him to tame the bird. Make it obedient. And the boy would spend every day with that falcon. It would scratch at him. Make him bleed. But eventually… he earned its trust. He brought the bird to his father, to show him that the bird would come back to him. He thought his father would be proud. His father took the falcon and snapped its neck. Yes… the boy was devastated. But he realized his father was right. He was told to tame the bird… not to love it. That’s why you have to listen to your head.

Jace Wayland: Luke’s car may have found its way into a pole while I was stashing it. I don’t do mundane driving.

Jace Wayland (to Clary): The blade never dims. It's saying you belong together. You're part angel, Clary... like all Shadowhunters. It's not something you understand in your mind. It's something you know because it's pulsing through your body. It's in your blood.

Jace Wayland (to Clary): All the legends are true. We're Shadowhunters. We protect the human world from the demon world.
