Quote by Cassandra Clare

Clary: What are you doing here, anyway?Jace: 'Here' as in your bedroom or 'here' as in the great spiritual question of our purpose here on this planet? If you're asking whether it's all just a cosmic coincidence or there's a greater metaethical purpose to life, well, that's a puzzler for the ages. I mean, simple ontological reductionism is clearly a fallacious argument, but-Clary: I'm going to bed.

Summary

In this quote, Clary questions why Jace is present in her bedroom. However, Jace responds with a playful ambiguity, and offers two possible interpretations of her question. He ponders whether "here" refers to the bedroom or the deeper existential meaning of our existence on Earth. Jace suggests that pondering the purpose of life, the concept of fate, and the nature of reality are complex and everlasting questions that have not been definitively answered. Ultimately, Clary dismisses his philosophical musings and decides to go to bed.
