“And you think it was sunrise I was waiting for and not my queen. Do you not hear her footfalls? She has never quite managed the trick of hiding them as well as one of the Folk. Surely you've heard of her, Jude Duarte, who defeated the redcap Grima Mog, who brought the Court of Teeth to their knees? She's forever getting me out of scrapes. Truly, I don't know what I would do without her.”
~ How the high king of elfhame learned to hate stories

"You see, for me, memories are difficult. Very often, they hurt. A curious thing about grief is the way it takes your entire life, all those foundation years that made you who you are, and makes them so painful to look back upon because of the absence there, that suddenly they're inaccessible. You must invent an entirely new system."
And
"You just replace your last memory - a bad one - with a new one - a good one - and you keep doing that until the initial one no longer outweighs the replacement."
Okay but when Nina Zenik said "She wouldn’t wish love on anyone. It was the guest you welcomed and then couldn’t be rid of." and when Eros said "Thanatos and I. We are not so different. Except Death is sometimes kinder.” and when Jace Herondale said " To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed." and when Jason Grace said "Love was the most savage monster of all." and when Taylor Swift said "And I scream for whatever it's worth, 'I love you' ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?" and how the Song of Songs says “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death.”
I don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush.

Clary Fairchild's favourite Taylor Swift song is Call it what you want because she too, trusts her lover like a brother :)

As Dante was watching me search the sky through the lens of a telescope, he whispered, “Someday, I’m going to discover all the secrets of the universe.”
That made me smile. “What are you going to do with all those secrets, Dante?”
“I’ll know what to do with them,” he said. “Maybe change the world.”
I believed him.
