“you're quite wrong there, Collie. One does miss sex. The body has a life of it's own. We do miss what we haven't had, you and I. Biologically. Ask Sigmund Freud. It is revealed in dreams. The absent touch of warm limbs at night, the absent”
“We care. We feel. We think. We do not always miss the absent one. We cannot always come when called. Being friends with a loner requires patience and the wisdom that distance does not mean dislike.”
“It's Simon, he's missing."Ahh." said Magnus delicately "Missing what exactly?"Missing!" Jace repeated "As in gone, absent, notable for his lack of presence, disappeared”
“I found that I missed him the more he was absent from my life, and the more I missed him, the more I loved him.”
“I doubt I would ever be missed. Noted absent, charged delinquent, reprimanded but never missed.”
“You're a zombie. If you're not missing body parts, you're doing it wrong!”
