And I have lost those which are reputed the most tenacious and obstinate of their own defervescence, without any help or art, and contrary to their rules. Let us a little permit nature to take her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we.”

“We are neither worse nor better than those who eye us critically.”
“We are neither young nor old. The Infinite can neither begin nor can it end. This is the inherent nature of our life force. To free ourselves from the limitations of both youth and age is to encompass a journey full of adventure, growth, success, fulfilment, and surprising achievements.

"That's not precisely true, is it?" said a velvety voice. It was Magnus Bane, wearing a long and glittering coat, multiple hoops in his ears, and a roguish expression. Clary had no idea where he'd come from. "You lot have used the help of warlocks on more than one occasion in the past, and paid handsomely for it too."
Malachi scowled. "I don't remember the Clave inviting you into the Glass City, Magnus Bane."
"They didn't," Magnus said. "Your wards are down."
"Really?" the Consul's voice dripped sarcasm. "I hadn't noticed."
Magnus looked concerned. "That's terrible. Someone should have told you." He glanced at Luke. "Tell him the wards are down.”

even when much of that "where" is
moving in some direction or other
towards somewhere else.
We cannot
--right now--
know more than we know,
have prepared or studied or rehearsed
more than we actually did,
be more beautiful or wiser or wittier
or wealthier or healthier
or stronger or better rested than we actually are.
So go out and sing.
Express your love laid bare and open.
Be the fully imperfect glorious creature that you are.
Dance in the rain.”

We need their fluent lives interflowing with our own.”
