Jonathan: See, I may be grotesque in my own skin, but with it I have power that you could only dream of.
Valentine: Then why keep the Verlac boy's visage if you're weaker for it?
Jonathan: I think it rather suits me, don't you? As so does the accent. A bit more charming than a demonic beast with burnt flesh.
Valentine: Jonathan, I know what I did to you was horrific, but let me make it up to you. Azazel was after the Mortal Cup. Unchain me and it's yours.
Jonathan: You still don't understand, do you? See, I don't give a damn about your Mortal Instruments. I used Azazel to stage an attack against the Lightwood girl in order to gain access to the Institute. Whatever he did after that, however amusing, was none of my concern.
Valentine: And then you wouldn't take me here to just torture me to death? So what are you planning?
Jonathan: Don't worry, Father. You'll find out soon enough.

Clary: I love you.
Simon: Don't...don't do that.
Clary: Why?
Simon: Because you don't mean it the way I mean it! You never have. Ever since we were kids, I've been in love with you. Every minute of every day. You're the first person I thought of when I woke up. Always have been. If the Seelie Queen had asked that question, "kiss the one you most desire," no one would have even come close. There's something between you and Jace, and you can't deny it.
Clary: I don't know. Maybe...maybe deep down...but Simon, there's nothing like you and me. It's nothing like it.
Simon: But it's enough...enough for me to know. Kissing you, trying to be more than friends...it was a mistake.

Magnus: I burned him, Alexander. Right where he stood. I murdered my stepfather.
Alec: You were just a boy. You weren't in control of your powers.
Magnus: Yes, actually I was. I never wanted you to see this...terrible, ugly side of me. My past.
Alec: Hey...there is nothing ugly about you.

Sebastian: Look, I'm not proud of it. But if anyone should understand, it should be you.
Eileen: Why is that?
Sebastian: You know that summer that I came to Alicante and you were secretly seeing that girl with the dimples?
Eileen: Caroline.
Sebastian: Yea, you kept it such a secret. Everyone thought you hadn't found the right boy.
Eileen: They still think that. Unless you blabbed?
Sebastian: I would never do that. I gave my word. It's just you know how it feels to have everyone in the world see you one way but actually think the exact opposite. You know I actually like taking risks. I'm sure the yin fen was a mistake, but it led me to what I believe is my destiny: Being here.

Luke: Plasma?
[Simon nods]
Luke: Yea. You gotta be careful, Simon.
Simon: I know.
Luke: That stuff is strong.
Simon: I know, it's just a one time thing. I went out with a couple of friends and got a little carried away.
Luke: It's understandable. Clary told me what happened. Listen, I just want you to know, whatever is going on between you two, I'm always here for you. You're the closest thing to a son I've got. Whether you like it or not.
Simon: So, I'm not grounded?
Luke: Don't push your luck.
[Simon gets a headache]
Simon: It feels like Metallica is rehearsing in my head.
Luke: Nothing a little sleep can't fix.

Isabelle: I wanna fight for it.
Raphael: I can't, Isabelle.
Isabelle: Why not? If this is about sex, I don't care about that. I care about you.
Raphael: It's not about that. Our whole relationship was built on our addiction. What if that's what is strongest together?
Isabelle: What if it isn't?! We owe it to ourselves to find out.
Raphael: Do you remember the shame you felt when your brother found us together? My fangs in your arm. All it takes is one moment of weakness and we'll be back there. I'm bad for you, Isabelle.

Seelie Queen: It's simple really; all I ask is a kiss.
Clary: You want one of us to kiss you?
Seelie Queen: The game isn't for me. It's for you, Clary. The kiss that will set them free is the kiss you most desire. I suggest you move quickly. Once the vines reach their necks, the boys will be dead...dead...dead.
Clary: Jace is wrong; this is exactly like middle school.
Simon: Clary, just kiss me so we can go home.
[She kisses him and the vines tighten]
Clary: Why are the vines still here?
Seelie Queen: Why do you think?
Clary: I did what you asked.
Simon: Clary...
Seelie Queen: You can fool yourself but not the Vitas Veritas.
[She goes to Jace]
Clary: This means nothing.
[They kiss and the vines loosen]

Maryse: I am so sorry. This is all my fault.
Isabelle: No, Mama, it's mine.
Maryse: I've been so hard on you, put so much pressure. Of course, you needed a release. Sometimes our angelic duty seems to overshadow everything else. We forget that we're human too.

Simon: So you're not mad that I'm here?
Seelie Queen: On the contrary, I was hoping your friends would invite you along tonight. The "Daylighter rock star."
Simon: Certainly is a notion.
Seelie Queen: I've mentored some of the greatest Seelie musicians. Ever heard of Sia...or Bjork? I can help you too. You can visit my court any time; play your music as my nymphs tend to your every need.
Simon: Why would you do that for me?
Seelie Queen: Because I want to be friends...allies. I feel darker times are coming, Simon. And my feelings are rarely wrong.

Simon: Look, all I want to do is go to college and hang out with my girlfriend. Is that too much to ask?
Luke: About that, I hope you and Clary are, you know, being safe.
Simon: Yeah, totally, but I figured because of the vampire thing, I couldn't really get Clary...
Luke: Woah, I wasn't talk about that. I was talking about the bloodlust.
Simon: Well, if things get too heated, I know how to pull back...
Luke: Just don't get overconfident. I've seen it happen before. You know, temptation and emotion.
Simon: Can we talk about any other topic?!
Luke: Absolutely!

Dot: How did you know it was me?
Magnus: My powers are widely beyond your understanding...and I saw you crossing the street outside. So have you come to talk me into spitting into a cup for the Clave?
Dot: Kidding me? Look, I'm all for stopping those murders, but when the DNA brigade came knocking, I portal'd out. I had that shop in Salem, this isn't my first witch hunt.
Magnus: I'll drink to that. Oops, it seems I already have.

Imogen: Six shadowhunters are dead. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment.
Clary: Isn't fear an emotion? Because that's all this is. Tracking people because of the kind of blood they have, locking them up without recourse. Is that what the Clave stands for?
Imogen: Your idealism is charming, but when they wheel in the next dead Shadowhunter with their runes carved out, what will you tell their families? What will your ideals have done for any of them? Put her downstairs with the vampire.
[They move Maia away]

Shadowhunters Season 2 Quotes

Jace: You experimented on me?
Valentine: I made you stronger, faster; more lethal than any other Shadowhunter.
Jace: Why?
Valentine: To create the perfect weapon, the ideal marriage of good and evil: A Shadowhunter with pure demon blood.

Isabelle: Any word from the Clave?
Lydia: Not yet. We've been trying for the past four hours. Something's up.
Magnus: Hmmm. The Clave being unhelpful? Who's shocked?! Show of hands.
