Book Bite: "City of Bones"

"I was laughing at you because declarations of love amuse me, especially when unrequited. And because your Simon is one of the most mundane mundanes I’ve ever encountered. And because Hodge thought you might be dangerous, but if you are, you certainly don’t know it."

- Jace to Clary, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (2007)
