Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3)

by Cassandra Clare

“All my life, since I came to the Institute, you were the mirror of my soul. I saw the good in me in you. In your eyes alone I found grace. When you are gone from me, who will see me like that?”

The measure of love is to love without measure. —attributed to Saint Augustine

You are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself from dreaming. You are the first dream of my soul, and from that dream I hope will come all other dreams, a lifetime’s worth. With hope at last,

You are unique in the world, just as you are unique in my heart, and there will never be a time when I do not love you.
