“As thoughts possess the fashion of the mood”

“An appreciation for high fashion does not preclude possession of common sense.”

“We not not our feelings. We are not our moods. We not even our thoughts.”

“They thought depression was like bieng 'depressed'. They thought it was like being in a bad mood, only worse. Therefore, they tried to get him to snap out of it.”

“Man has no permanent and unchangeable I. Every thought, every mood, every desire, every sensation, says "I."”

“Demon hunting and fashion," Clary said. "I never would have thought they went together.”

“I don't get this fashion for happy funerals. He said he wanted all his mates to be in a good mood and smile, and this is a very fashionable idea, that when you die, it's supposed to be a celebration and joyous and everyone laughing, but I want people's lives torn apart when I go. I want to be embalmed and brought out when we have guests.”

“Schiller writes in a letter [to Goethe, 17 December 1795] of a ‘poetic mood’. I think I know what he means, I think I am familiar with it myself. It is the mood of receptivity to nature and one in which one’s thoughts seem as vivid as nature itself.”

“Better to be poor in possessions rather than in thoughts and your way of reasoning.”

“The great majority of men, especially in France, both desire and possess a fashionable woman, much in the way one might own a fine horse — as a luxury befitting a young man.”
