In future, Clarissa, he said, it might be wise to mention that you already have a man in your bed, to avoid such tedious situations.You invited him into bed? Simon demanded, looking shaken. Ridiculous, isn't it? said Jace. We would never have all fit.I didn't invite him into bed, Clary snapped. We were just kissing.Just kissing? Jace's tone mocked her with its false hurt.

Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

Mahatma Gandhi

Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.

W. C. Fields

We are most of us very lonely in this world; you who have any who love you, cling to them and thank God.

Charles Dickens, Barnaby Rudge (

Your life works to the degree you keep your agreements.

Werner Erhard

Change cannot and will not happen overnight. But the intent to evolve will produce opportunities for growth.

Anthony Robbins

Our friends don't see our faults, or conceal them, or soften them.

Joseph Addison

Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder.

Auberon Herbert

Don't worry about genius. Don't worry about being clever. Trust to hard work, perseverance and determination. And the best motto for a long march is: Don't grumble. Plug on!

Sir Thomas Treves
