Chain of Gold (The Last Hours, #1)

by Cassandra Clare

“We do not get to choose when in our lives we feel pain,” said Matthew. “It comes when it comes, and we try to remember, even though we cannot imagine a day when it will release its hold on us, that all pain fades. All misery passes. Humanity is drawn to light, not darkness.”

You are who you are, made by the sum of your choices and actions.

Those who mock fiction do so because they fear the truth.”
