Cassandra ClareWhen you love someone, you don't have a choice. Love takes your choices away.- Clary Fray
About This Quote
Clary Fray is a fictional character in a book series called The Mortal Instruments. She is a half-human, half-angel teenager who struggles with the idea of love and relationships, but ultimately learns to give up on finding love and to accept her family for what they are. The quote refers to the paradox of believing that love will change relationships while accepting that it won't. In this quote Clary is acknowledging that she holds onto the belief that love will change her relationship with Jace no matter how many times he hurts her. She does not think of herself as his girlfriend, but rather as his best friend who he loves, but still hurts from time to time, and is willing to forgive him over and over again.
