Never screw with a blind monk.

I like quotes. Quotes and lists. I've decided, that from now on, whenever I read, I'll keep a journal of my favorite quotes. And every few posts, I'll put some up. I have several from the second book in the Mortal Instruments trilogy, City of Ashes. I thought it'd be fun to share them with you. Enjoy!

• "Mostly extinct, is NOT EXTINCT ENOUGH."

• "I'll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really, extinct.' Will that make you happy?"

• "Rule number one of anime, never screw with a blind monk."

• "A viper in their bosoms. Not that she used the word 'bosoms', but the thought was there."


• "I don't want to be a man. I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other poeple instead."

• "Maybe I should ask for blessings on my mission against all those who wear white after Labor Day."

• "Lettuce? Oh, that's some mozzarella."

• "Certainly not. You would be stringy and hard to digest."

• "Enormous? Did you just call me fat?"

• "Yes, I was trained to be an evil mastermind from a young age. Pulling the wings off flies, poisoning the Earth's water supply—I was covering that stuff in kindergarten. I guess we're all lucky my father faked his own death before he got to the raping and pillaging part of my eduacation, or else no one would be safe."

• "It's not that. I want to change into my pajamas. I can't take making out seriously when I still have my socks on."

• "And don't bother feeding me some story about how you just happened to wander along after he spontaneously died."

• "Yeah, he's terrified I'll tell everyone that he's always really wanted to be a ballerina."

• "Is he dead? He looks dead."
• "No. He's not dead."
• "Have you checked? I could kick him if you want."

• "I don't know, does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?"

• "High-waisted khaki pants? Who wears those?"

• "That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses lik ethe Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."

• "It's my motto. 'Nothing less than seven inches.' ........... "I'm talking about shoes."

Aren't they all just fabulous?

That's only up until about halfway through. Or less. Then I had to return it to the library. But I bought the first one, so I'm going to do the entire first one quotes. I think the first one has the funniest quotes.

A lot of those were Jace, for your information. Jace is a funny, sarcastic, angst-ridden teenaged Shadow hunter. He's also uber hot and sexy and full of himself. But that's totally okay because we love him anyways.

Nine days left of school. I'm so excited. But since I've been sick, I missed a bunch of school, and I missed learning this equation thingy that we have a big test on next week. And a lot of the final exam will be on it. Goody gumdrops for me. My mother picked up a bunch of papers for me on the equation and stuff. I have to learn it all on my own over the long weekend. I'm so happy! Not.

I think I'll be done for now on this post. I need to clean my room some more, do a bit of homework, and read. And of course, collect quotes to put on this fabulous blog.
