“I don't want to love you, but it's something that I love to do.”

“I love you. And I don't want to lose you.”

“I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true — hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.”

“When I say,, I don't mean,. I don't mean,. I don't mean,.
I want us to go back down to that root.
I want you to be the one who loves me.
I want to be the one who loves you.”

“Oh, womanly sympathy, love AND food?" I said, laughing. "Don't want a lot, do you?”

“And I would do it again. I love you, Jace Wayland-Herondale-Lightwood-whatever you want to call yourself. I don't care. I love you and I will always love you, and pretending it could be any other ways is just a waste of time.”

“I think I want to be in love with you but I don't know how.”

“They say, 'you mean it's just sounds?' thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are. I don't want them to be psychological. I don't want a sound to pretend that it's a bucket or that it's president or that it's in love with another sound. I just want it to be a sound.”

“I don't want to be loved. I want to be desired. Love is safety, but desire is foul.”

“I don't want your love unless you know i am repulsive, and love me even as you know it.”
