One of my favorite characters from Chain of Gold. (by @cassandraclare ) Maybe I'll do a full series of my favorites from all the series now that I'm rereading through them, in chronological order this time!

“The most interesting women are always the most whispered about.”

It was beautiful--she was beautiful, but it was not a distant beauty. It was a beauty that lived and breathed and reached out with its hands to crush James's chest and make him breathless.

“I am no ordinary ghost, and if you can see me, you are no ordinary girl.”

There was a silk flower, dyed green and secured in the buttonhole of his shirt. She touched the petal lightly with a fingertip. “What does this mean?” “The green carnation symbolizes a love of art and artifice, since a green carnation has to be created rather than appearing in nature.” Matthew hesitated. “It also celebrates loving anyone you choose,whether that is a man or a woman.” … “I like that,” she said. “And I am sure anyone you chose to be in your life, whether it was a man or a woman, would be a good person who I would like very much.”

he smiled at grace, who stood quietly near him, her face a mask... it was an expression she had seen on james’s face before: she had always thought of it privately as the mask.

“Sometimes grief and worry must take the form of action,” said Cordelia. “Sometimes it is unbearable to sit and wait.

Cordelia ❤️

“you know what they say,” [matthew] said, as he and james left the room and began to wend their way back toward the party. “drink, and you will sleep; sleep, and you will not sin; do not sin, and you will be saved; therefore, drink and be saved.”
