“You have all Manner of News there: You have a good Fire, which you may sit by as long as you please: You have a Dish of Coffee; you meet your Friends for the Transaction of Business, and all for a Penny, if you don't care to spend more.”

“Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.”

“Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies. ”

“If you are a guild, take care of your friends. That is all I have to say.”

“People spend whole lifetimes seeking that which they already have. They have it, because they are it. All you have to do to have love is to be love. You are beloved. Each of you. All of you.”

“You had better refuse a favor gracefully, than to grant it clumsily. Manner is all, in everything: it is by manner only that you can please, and consequently rise. All your Greek will never advance you from secretary to envoy, or from envoy to ambassador; but your address, your manner, your air, if good, very probably may.”

“But why should you care what people will say? All you have to do is please yourself.”

“I know Shadowhunters. I have for a long time. You are odd creatures. All fragile nobility and humanity on one side, and all the thoughtless fire of angels on the other. You especially, Herondale, for you have the fire of angels in your blood.”

“In the world you have three sorts of friends: your friends who love you, your friends who do not care about you and your friends who hate you.”
