Cassandra-clare Quote by Cassandra Clare
““ Tell me about mummies. Mummies exist. The Egyptians mummified people. Mummies that get up out of their cursed tombs and walk around do not exist. Do cursed tombs exist? No. Sometimes you get a tomb guarded by a demon. Zombies? The voudun kind, yes - the braaaaaaaiiiiinnnnnsss kind, no. Oh, oh, I've got one. What about a haunted car? Do you count a demon-powered motorcycle? No, like, the car talks back and tells you to kill people. Then no. ””
