Cassandra Clare Quotes

Only lovers know the value and magnanimity of truth.

Truth makes love possible; love makes truth bearable.

When you really love someone, you try to tell the truth.

Whatever I did, I did with love and I did with honesty.

Choosing to be honest is the first step in the process of love. There is no practitioner of love who deceives. Once the choice has been made to be honest, then the next step on love's path is communication.

I don't want you to love me, If you don't wanna love me for me.

You're killing me here, Ash. Good, she said. She'd bend a few rules, but they both knew she wasn't going to push him beyond where he chose to go. Love wasn't to be based on trickery. But reminding him what he's refusing isn't trickery.

Truth is love's mother, and we all know it is not wise to lie to anyone's mother.

Commitment to truth telling lays the groundwork for the openness and honesty that is the heartbeat of love.
