“Love takes your choices away.”

“When you love someone, you don't have a choice. Love takes your choices away.- Clary Fray”

“Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love..”

“Choosing love or war: both are brave choices, in their own ways.”

“You are in love and you think that is all there is in the world. But the world is bigger than you, Will, and may have need of you. You are a Shadowhunter. You serve a greater cause. Your life is not yours to throw away.”

“Later, when his father left him, the boy cried over his pet, until eventually his father sent a servant to take the body of the bird away and bury it. The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”
