„Clary,” Jocelyn said. “I want you to meet Tessa Gray.“

„If you don’t go after Luke,” Clary said, enunciating very clearly, “I, personally, will kill you.”For a moment Jocelyn looked astonished. Then she smiled. “Well,” she said, “if you put it like that.“
— Cassandra Clare
„I am Tessa Gray,” she said in a low, clear voice. “And I believe in the importance of stories.“
— Cassandra Clare
„Maureen wants to touch you,” Clary said with a sideways grin. “Bad touch.“
— Cassandra Clare
„Will looked up in apparent relief when Charlotte and Tessa came in. "Will," Charlotte said, "You remember Miss Gray?""My recollection of her," said Will, "is most vivid indeed.“
— Cassandra Clare
„It's not gray," Clary felt compelled to point out. "It's green.""If there was such a thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood," said Jace.“

„He flushed, the colour dark against his pale skin. 'I mean. Tessa Gray, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?' Jem…“

„Well, I don't want you to die," Tessa said. "I don't know why I feel it so strongly -- I've just met you -- but I don't want you to die.""And I trust you," he said. "I don't know why -- I've just met you -- but I do.“

„You haven't broken his heart yet, have you?""No," Tessa said."I haven't broken his heart at all.“
— Cassandra Clare
„I am stronger when Tessa is here, you see. I told it to you," said Jem, still in the same soft voice.At that, Will did duck his head so that Tessa could not see his eyes. "I see it," he said.“
— Cassandra Clare
„We needn't talk about Tessa if you don't want to, you know.""It's not Tessa." This was true. Will hadn't been thinking of Tessa. He was getting good at not thinking about her, really; all it took was determination and practice.“
— Cassandra Clare
„I know there are monsters on this earth,' said Tessa. 'You cannot tell me otherwise. I have seen them.“
— Cassandra Clare
„I want you to be happy, and him to be happy. And yet when you walk that aisle to meet him and join yourselves forever you will walk an invisible path of the shards of my heart Tessa. I would give over my own life for either of yours.“
— Cassandra Clare
„[Jem] looked from Will to Tessa and raised his silvery eyebrows. "A miracle," he said. "You got him to speak.""Just to shout at me, really," said Tessa. "Not quite loaves and fishes.“
— Cassandra Clare
„Clary," Jace said again. "You know: short, redheaded, bad temper.“
— Cassandra Clare
„It's too late," she said."Don't say that." His voice was half a whisper. "I love you, Tessa. I love you.“
— Cassandra Clare
„I love you, Clary wanted to say. And, I would do it again. I would always ask for you.“
— Cassandra Clare
„I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for me. I love them, and I love you." - Tessa Gray“
