“But I guess you don't see the planets when you're staring at the sun. You just get blinded.”

“Oh, I see,' said Jenny. 'But you're just getting these men [New Age gurus] to help you all feel better. I thought when you talked about helping people you meant other people. You know, like the blind.'
'Isn't everybody blind, in one way or another?' asked Wendy.”

“Of course I can see you. I'm not blind, you know.
Oh, but you are. You just don't know it.”

“… such speculation is like staring into the hot white sun. you know the sun is there but you can't see a thing.”

“You can live your own life and I'll live mine
I will never try to keep you down
And even if I only see you some of the time
I'm just happy when you come around
And even if the sun don't shine
I'm warm enough when you're in these arms of mine
Just as long as we're together.”

“I guess I just don't get the point. It's like, why should you bother getting attached to anything if,

A: It's never gonna last, and
B: It hurts like hell when it's over?”

“When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.”

“Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.”

“You don't get it, Clary. You don't understand what it's like to live always at war, to grow up with battle and sacrifice. I guess it's not your fault. It's just how you were brought up”

“Helloooo? I just made some changes in my life, and if I don't get back to you as soon as possible, then guess what? You were one of those changes.”
