How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote 1

"All that this angelic heritage has given to us is a longer distance to fall." (20.21)

Being the offspring of an angel isn't all it's cracked up to be. Being good all the time? No thank you.

Quote 2

"You're just a slimy Downworlder who didn't even care that all those years [my mom] treated you like a friend—like an equal—and this is how you pay her back!" (20.115)

Without even realizing, Clary seems to view Luke, a werewolf, as less than a real person because he's a Downworlder. She should probably think about that for a minute before she writes the guy off completely.
