Growing up happens when you start having things you look back on and wish you could change -Clary Fray
When you love someone, you don't have a choice. Love takes your choices away. - Clary Fray

Fire supposed he needed to be there in order to give rousing speeches and lead the charge into the fray, or whatever is was commanders did in wartime. She resented his competence at something so tragic and senseless. She wished he, or somebody, would throw down his sword and say, 'Enough! This is a silly way to decide who's in charge!' And it seemed to her, as the beds in the healing room filled and emptied and filled, that these battles didn't leave much to be in charge of. The kingdom was already broken, and this war was tearing the broken pieces smaller.
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same.

What is the spirituality we need for the 21st century? We face a choice: to retire from this fray into some marshmallow paradise where we can massage away the heat of the day, the questions of the time, the injustice of the age, and live like pious moles in the heart of a twisted world. Or, we can gather our strength - our spiritual strength - for the struggle it will take to wake up from this pious sleep.
One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is 'Libertarian. ' People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable, and to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it's just one more bullshit political philosophy.

Live and die on this day. . . Live and die on this day.
But you have to learn to bend a little," "Or you'll brake. " -Clarissa Fray
Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable, Brother Zachariah to Clary Fray
I'm releasing a single. It's called 'Live it Up. ' It was based on my Euro trip. I only write my own music. I don't let other people write it at all. So I've been working on that a lot. There's three singles coming out. The producer of The Fray who did their double-platinum album 'How to Save a Life,' I'm working with him. He's producing me.
