“You may fear what will happen if you speak your heart. You may wish to hide things because you fear hurting others. But secrets have a way of eating at relationships, Jamie. At love, at friendship—they undermine and destroy them until in the end you find you are bitterly alone with the secrets you kept.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Iron

“Love is not always a lightning bolt. Sometimes it is a creeping vine. It grows slowly until suddenly it is all that there is in the world.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Iron

“Someone who broke your heart is often not the person who can mend it.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Iron

“We are none of us perfect, and no one expects perfection. But when you have hurt people, you must allow them their anger. Otherwise it will only become another thing you have tried to take away.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Iron
