“It was easier not to feel. It was safer not to love. It was possible to make oneself silent and still as stone, to wall oneself off from the world and its losses, to empty one’s heart. It was possible, but it was not human.”
― Cassandra Clare, Through Blood, Through Fire

“If you pretend to feel nothing, the pretence may become true. said Jem. That would be a pity.”
― Cassandra Clare, Son of the Dawn

“But we all have darkness inside us. It is just a question of how much of us is light as well.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, All the Crooked Saints

“It was easier to die protecting the people you loved than to watch them die in your stead. What horrific choices mortality had to offer.”
― Cassandra Clare, Through Blood, Through Fire
