City of Bones Chapter 5 Quotes

How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote 1

The dreams held her, one after the other, a river of images that bore her along like a leaf tossed in a current. [...] Simon with crosses burned into the palms of his hands. Angels, falling and burning. Falling out of the sky. (5.7)

Clary's not quite sure what it means, but her dream is rich with religious imagery.

Quote 2

"Who could argue, really, that the Fair Folk do not belong in this world, when they have been here longer than we have?" (5.244)

Unfortunately, the whole we-were-here-first argument doesn't work, especially when confronted with an army of angry people with weapons. Just ask the Native Americans.
