Quote by Cassandra Clare

I'll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.' Will that make you happy?

Summary

This quote is from the character Jace Herondale in Cassandra Clare's novel, City of Ashes. It sarcastically implies that Alec, another character, has a strong preference for total eradication of monsters. Jace proposes humorously that if the person is not satisfied with the current description of monsters being "almost extinct," he can have the textbook changed to state they are "not extinct enough" for Alec's liking. The quote adds a touch of wit and highlights the character's dry sense of humor.

That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, and of pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me -- with such a one I am in love.

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. I would not interfere with any one's religion, either to strengthen it or to weaken it. I am not able to believe one's religion can affect his hereafter one way or the other, no matter what that religion may be. But it may easily be a great comfort to him in this life--hence it is a valuable possession to him.
