Cassandra Clare
“Lex malla, lex nulla,” said Julian with a regretful wave of his hand. It was the Blackthorn family motto: A bad law is no law.
“I wonder what other family mottoes are,” Emma mused. “Do you know any?”
“The Lightwood family motto is ‘We mean well.’ ”
“Very funny.”
Julian looked over at her. “No, really, it actually is.”
“Seriously? So what’s the Herondale family motto? ‘Chiseled but angsty’?”

Emma burst out laughing. “What about Carstairs?” she asked, tapping Cortana. “ ‘We have a sword’? ‘Blunt instruments are for losers’?”
“Morgenstern,” offered Julian. “ ‘When in doubt, start a war’?”
Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows

Angela Carter
“I clung to him as though only the one who had inflicted the pain could comfort me for suffering it.”

Cassandra Clare

Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold

Thomas Mann, Death in Venice

Angela Carter
“How can she bear the pain of becoming human? The end of exile is the end of being.”
Angela Carter, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories
