I promise this is not the end”

“Since I've met you, everything I've done has been in part because of you. I can't untie myself from you, Clary- not my heart or my blood or my mind or any other part of me. And I don't want to."

“It's like in the Bible. You can't always get what you want, but if you really need something, you usually find it."
