Cassandra Clare Quote

Jem’s eyes had widened, and then he’d laughed, a soft laugh. Did you think I did not know you had a secret? he’d said. Did you think I walked into my friendship with you with my eyes shut? I did not know the nature of the burden you carried. But I knew there was a burden. He’d stood up. I knew you thought yourself poison to all those around you, he’d added. I knew you thought there to be some corruptive force about you that would break me. I meant to show you that I would not break, that love was not so fragile. Did I do that?
