When there aren’t any smart decisions, I suppose you just have to pick the stupid decision you like best.

I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.

Jace smiled serenely and lay back on the grass. “You’re welcome.”

Death and horror are always near us. The challenge is to get on with our lives and be happy when we can always see them out of the corner of our eye, blurred, but still recognisable in the background
