James Islington
“Faithful people suffer and evil people prosper all the time [...]. Besides, if our actions are driven only by reward or punishment--eternal or otherwise--then they are motivated by greed and selfishness, not faith or love. That is where so many people go wrong, even those who say they believe [...]. They obey because the think it will make their *lives* better, rather than *themselves*. And that is very much the wrong reason.”
James Islington, The Light of All That Falls

Rin Chupeco
“But to grieve means you have loved. To love opens up the possibility for grief. There cannot be one without the other.”
Rin Chupeco, The Heart Forger
tags: grief, love

Cassandra Clare
“Women never say what they think.”
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

James Islington
“Because hurting someone is not teaching them a lesson, Davian. As you pointed out earlier-we can hate what they do, but we should never hate them." He shifted. " And I'm not 'better' than you. That's not how this works. Believing in El, trying to follow His rules, doesn't make you in some way superior. If anything, it makes you more aware that none of us can claim to be truly good. That's why forgiveness is so important." He saw Davian's dubious expression and shook his head. " I'm not suggesting that enemies should suddenly be friends, but I am choosing to forgive. Because if I don't, Im nothing more than empty words.”
James Islington, The Light of All That Falls

Rin Chupeco
“It felt so wonderful and strange to know you are your own person but begin to understand how you could also belong to wholeheartedly to someone else.”
Rin Chupeco, The Heart Forger
