Quote by Cassandra Clare
She could ask for anything, she thought dizzily, anything--an end to pain or world hunger or disease, or for peace on earth. But then again, perhaps these things weren't in the power of angels to grant, or they would already have been granted. And perhaps people were supposed to find these things for themselves.
Summary
This quote highlights the realization of the character that while the power of angels may seem unlimited, there are certain things that even they cannot grant. The character reflects on the possibility of asking for grand wishes, such as the end of pain or world hunger, but considers that if angels had the ability to grant them, these problems would have already been solved. It also suggests the belief that such monumental issues are meant for individuals to address and solve on their own, emphasizing the importance of human agency and responsibility in bringing about positive change.
