True love is rare and its the only thing that gives life real meaning.

It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb he murmured. I looked away hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.What a stupid lamb I sighed.What a sick masochistic lion.

The only thing worse than a boy who hates you a boy that loves you.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

When we love we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are everything around us becomes better too.

A womans heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.

And now Im looking at you he said and youre asking me if I still want you as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before bits of myself to the Lightwoods to Isabelle and Alec but it took years to do it but Clary since the first time I saw you I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.

Promise me youll always remember Youre braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

Beloved we join hands here to pray for gin. An aridity defiles us. Our innards thirst for the juice of juniper. Something must be done. The drought threatens to destroy us. Surely God who let manna fall from the heavens so that the holy children of Israel might eat will not let the equally holy children of Niggeratti Manor die from the want of a little gin. Children let us pray.
