Quote by Cassandra Clare

Sophie said to me once that she was glad she had been scarred. She said that whoever loved her now would love her true self, and not her pretty face. This is your true self, Tessa. This power is who you are. Whoever loves you now--and you must also love yourself--will love the truth of you.

Summary

In this quote, Sophie expresses gratitude for her scars because she believes they reveal her true self to others.

This implies that she values authentic connections that transcend superficiality, where love and acceptance stem from understanding and accepting one's true essence. The quote serves as a reminder for Tessa to embrace and love herself, as only then can she attract and appreciate genuine love in return.
