"You know, most psychologists agree that hostility is really just sublimated sexual attraction."

"Ah, that might explain why I so often run into people who seem to dislike me."

"If you were half as funny as you thought you were, my boy, you'd be twice as funny as you are."

"To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be destroyed."

"There might be a God, Clary, and there might not, but I don't think it matters. Either way, we're on our own."
