“Is this thing safe?"
"Safe as life," Gansey replied.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“You are being self-pitying."
"I'm nearly done. You don't have much more of this to bear."
"I like you better this way."
"Crushed and broken," Gansey said. "Just the way women like 'em.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“When Gansey was polite, it made him powerful. When Adam was polite, he was giving power away.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“I guess I make things that need energy stronger. I'm like a walking battery."
"You're the table everyone wants at Starbucks," Gansey mused as he began to walk again.
Blue blinked. "What?"
Over his shoulder, Gansey said, "Next to the wall plug.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Are you really going to work in that?" Maura asked.

Blue looked at her clothing. It involved a few thin layering shirts, including one she had altered using a method called shredding. "What's wrong with it?"
Maura shrugged. "Nothing. I always wanted an eccentric daughter. I just never realised how well my evil plans were working.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“I found it."
"People find pennies," Gansey replied. "Or car keys. Or four-leaf clovers."
"And ravens," Ronan said. "You're just jealous 'cause" - at this point, he had to stop to regroup his beer-sluggish thoughts - "you didn't find one, too.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“I never taught him to break his thumb."
"That's Gansey for you. Only learns enough to be superficially competent."
"Loser," Ronan agreed, and he was himself again.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Aglionby Academy was the number one reason Blue had developed her two rules: One, stay away from boys because they were trouble. And two, stay away from Aglionby boys, because they were bastards.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Behind him, he heard Ronan say, "I like the way you losers thought Instagram before first aid. Fuck off.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

“Did you get notes for me?"
"No", Ronan replied,"I thought you were dead in a ditch.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Maura had decided sometime before Blue's birth that it was barbaric to order children about, and so Blue had grown up surrounded by imperative question marks.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Saw him where?"
"While I was sitting outside with one of my half aunts."
This seemed to satisfy Ronan was well, because he asked, "What's the other half of her?"
"God, Ronan," Adam said. "Enough.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“He asked for a specific. I gave him a specific. I'm sorry it wasn't puppies.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“He's a pit bull," Adam said.
"I know some really nice pit bulls."
"He's the kind of pit that makes the evening news. Gansey's trying to restrain him."
"How noble.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“It's like scrying into that weird space. There's so much coming out of him, it shouldn't be possible. Do you remember that woman who came in who was pregnant with quadruplets? It was like that, but worse."
"He's pregnant?" Blue asked.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“The buck stops here," Ronan said, pulling up the hand brake. "Home shit home.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Drugs?"
"Rituals. Are you messing around with drugs?"
"No. But maybe rituals."
"Drugs might be better.”
― Maggie Stiefvater

“The best-case scenario here is that you make friends with a boy who's going to die."
"Ah," said Calla, in a very, very knowing way. "Now I see."
"Don't psychoanalyse me," her mother said.
"I already have. And I say again, 'ah'.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“She asked, "Okay, wait, so why is Ronan at the library?"
"Cramming," Noah said. "For an exam on Monday."
It was the nicest thing Blue had ever heard of Ronan doing.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“You're looking for a god. Didn't you suspect that there was also a devil?”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Now Gansey grinned, the warmth of discovery starting to course through him. "So, pop quiz, Mr Parrish. Three things that appear in the vicinity of ley lines?"
"Black dogs," Adam said indulgently. "Demonic presences."
"Camaros," Ronan inserted.
Gansey continued as if he hadn't spoken. "And ghosts. Ronan, queue up the evidence if you would.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Listening to him tell the story now, it was clear to Adam that Glendower was more than a historical figure to Gansey. He was everything Gansey wished he could be: wise and brave, sure of his path, touched by the supernatural, respected by all, survived by his legacy.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Ronan looked angry, but he was in the mood where he was going to look angry no matter what. "I don't know what I want. I don't know what the hell I am."
He got into the Camaro.
"You promised me," Gansey said through the open car door.
Ronan didn't look up."I know what I did, Gansey."
"Don't forget.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Right,' he said. 'So it stands to reason there's something about the line that fortifies or protects a corpse. The soul. The ... animus. The quiddity of it.'
'Gansey, seriously,' Adam interrupted, to Blue's relief. 'Nobody knows what quiddity is.'
'The whatness, Adam. Whatever it is that makes a person who they are.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Blue was so tired of compromises. She was tired of sensible.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

“Important things come in threes.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Ronan’s bedroom door burst open. Hanging on the door frame, Ronan leaned out to peer past Gansey. He was doing that thing where he looked like both the dangerous Ronan he was now and the cheerier Ronan he had been when Gansey had first met him. “Is Noah out here?â€�

“Hold on,� Gansey told Adam. Then, to Ronan: “Why would he be?�

“No reason. Just no reason.� Ronan slammed his door.

Gansey asked Adam, “Sorry. You still have that suit for the party?�

Adam’s response was buried in the sound of the second-story door falling open. Noah slouched in. In a wounded tone, he said, “He threw me out the window!�

Ronan’s voice sang out from behind his closed door: “You’re already dead!”

“The poor are sad they're poor, Adam had once mused, and the rich are sad they're rich.”

“Quella versione di Gansey era il Gansey ragazzo. Era il Gansey che aveva comprato la Camaro, il Gansey che aveva chiesto a Ronan di insegnargli a lottare, il Gansey che conteneva ogni scintilla selvaggia in modo che non si notasse nelle sue altre versioni.
Era stato lo scudo nel lago a liberarlo? Il bikini arancione di Orla? I resti sfondati della Henrietta che si era costruito e le patenti finte?
A Ronan non interessava. Tutto ciò che importava era che qualcosa aveva acceso il fiammifero, e Gansey stava bruciando.”
