Cassandra Clare Life Quotations

Your life is yours to live as you choose.

Every life is finite, Will.

There is more to life than surviving.

I can tell you that the end of life is the some of the love that was lived in it.

Well, then, since you say there will be another life for me, let us both pray I do not make as colossal a mess of it as I have this one.

Life is full of risks. Death is much simpler.

Why don't we talk about your love life? Clary countered. "What about you and Alec?" "Alec refuses to acknowledge that we have a relationship, and so I refuse to acknowledge him. He sent me a fire message asking for a favor the other day. It was addressed to 'Warlock Bane' as if I were a perfect stranger. He's still hung up on Jace, I think, though that relationship will never go anywhere. A problem I imagine you know nothing about...

I'm not sure there's such thing a thing as a normal life.

You speak of sacrifice, but it is not my sacrifice I offer. It is yours I ask of you," he went on. "I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain. But I love you enough to hope that you will not care that I am being selfish in trying to make the rest of my life--whatever its length--happy, by spending it with you.

I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain

I mean, is there a chance for me? To have another life after this, a better one?

Do you even really know how vampires are made?' 'Well, when a mommy vampire and a daddy vampire love each other very much...

Clary made fun of him about his new look; but, then, Clary found everything about Simon's love life borderline hilarious.

I know you feel inhuman, and as if you are set apart, away from life and love, but... I promise you, the right man won't care.

People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters.

You serve a greater cause. Your life is not yours to throw away (Magnus Bane)

Sometimes," Jem said, "our lives can change so fast that the change outpaces our minds and hearts. It's those times, I think, when our lives have altered but we still long for the time before everything was altered-- that is when we feel the greatest pain. I can tell you, though, from experience, you grow accustomed to it. You learn to live your new life, and you can't imagine, or even really remember, how things were before.

You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.

Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.

There's plenty of sense in nonsense sometimes, if you wish to look for it.

Everything changes in my life, and the world stays the same.
