Lost in thought, it took her several moments to realize that Jace had been saying something to her. When she blinked at him, she saw a wry grin spread across his face. "What?" she asked, ungraciously.
"I wish you'd stop desperately trying to get my attention like this," he said. "It's become embarrassing."
"Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt," she told him.
"I can't help it. I use my rapier wit to hid my inner pain." -City Of Bones pages 170-171

I love this quote in particular because Jace is making a joke at the end, and at the same time it's completely true! You almost want to start shaking Clary, like "Give the kid a hug!" haha.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Ali! Clary totally missed the truth hidden beneath his snark.
ReplyDeleteCoB is made of awesome! Fantastic quote! A lovely example of one of the moments Jace later refers to when talking to Clary about how she disappears inside her head so completely sometimes & he wishes he could follow her there. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, his "rapier wit"...nothing like his sarcasm on a Monday!!
