1 " Adam smiled cheerily. Ronan would start wars and burn cities for that true smile, elastic and amiable. "
― Maggie Stiefvater , The Raven King (The Raven Cycle, #4)
2 " We have to be back in three hours," Ronan said. " I just fed Chainsaw but she'll need it again." " This," Gansey replied " is precisely why I didn't want to have a baby with you. "
3 " Did you get notes for me?" " No" , Ronan replied," I thought you were dead in a ditch. "
4 " But that wasn't what happened. What happened was they drove to Harry's and parked the Camaro next to an Audi and a Lexus and Gansey ordered flavors of gelato until the table wouldn't hold anymore and Ronan convinced the staff to turn the overhead speakers up and Blue laughed for the first time at something Gansey said and they were loud and triumphant and kings of Henrietta, because they'd found the ley line and because it was starting, it was starting. "

5 " Adam understood, then, that Gansey and Blue’s awe changed this place. Ronan and Adam may have seen this place as magical, but Gansey and Blue’s wonder made it holy. "

6 " Derisively, Ronan said, 'No. The ancient Greeks didn't have a word for Blue.'Everyone at the table looked at him.'What the hell, Ronan?' said Adam.'It's hard to imagine," Gansey mused, 'how this evidently successful classical education never seems to make it into your school papers.''They never ask the right questions,' Ronan replied. "
7 " 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 first met him." 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! "
8 " Dearest Annie, Roses are red. Violets are blue. I’m using my hand But I’m thinking of you. - Ronan P.S. Just to clarify, I’m using my hand to write this note…get your mind out of the gutter. "

9 " Noah had wandered down the aisle, but now he gleefully returned with a snow globe. He stood behind Ronan until he pushed off the shelf to admire the atrocity. " Glitter," whispered Noah reverentially, giving it a shake. "
10 " What's happening here?" This last bit was hissed to Ronan and Noah. " Noah took a personal day." " I lost..." Noah struggled for words. " There wasn't air. It went away. The - the line!" " The ley line?" Gansey asked.Noah nodded once, a sloppy thing that was sort of a shrug at the same time. " There was nothing ... left for me." Releasing Ronan, he shook out his hands. " You're welcome, man," Ronan snarled. He still couldn't feel his toes." Thanks. I didn't mean to ... you were there. Oh, the glitter." " Yes," Ronan replied crossly. " The glitter. "
11 " To think you could have been dreaming the cure for cancer," Blue said. " Look, Sargent," Ronan retorted, " I was gonna dream you some eye cream last night since clearly modern medicine's doing jack shit for you, but I nearly had my ass handed to me by a death snake from the fourth circle of dream hell, so you're welcome." Blue was appropriately touched. " Ah, thanks, man." " No problem, bro. "
12 " I’m not using any word,” Ronan said. The annoying thing about Ronan was always that he was angry when everyone else was calm, and calm when everyone else was angry. Because Blue was ready to bust a vein, his voice was utterly pacific. “I’m just telling you I’m not going. Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s not. My soul’s in enough peril as it is. "

13 " James, you’d like Lou Reed,” Michael insisted. “He was bisexual.”Their laughter turned to coughs. They were all staring at me when I turned around. I told myself to relax.“Oh, yeah?” I said. “He doesn’t sound bisexual.”Michael just shook his head, but Ronan and Glenn smiled.“They did electroshock therapy on him when he was a teenager,” Michael said.“Electro-what?” said Glenn. “They electrocuted people?”“Kind of. They zapped their brains to alter their personalities. That’s how they tried to make gay people straight back then.”They all looked at me for a response.I shrugged. “So, he was bisexual? It worked halfway? "

14 " I just don't— Ronan. My ears are bleeding!" Ronan turned down the music. "
15 " You don't have to do this," Ronan said." There isn't anything else, man." " There's reality." Kavinsky laughed the word. " Reality! Reality's what other people dream for you." " Reality's where other people are," Ronan replied. He stretched out his arms. " What's here, K? Nothing! No one!" " Jus "
16 " She had dreams that shamed her in the morning, dreams where Ronan gave her a white powdered cake, yet spoke in Arin's voice. I made this for you, he said. Do you like it?The powder was so fine that she inhaled its sweetness, but always woke before she could taste. "

17 " When Ronan thought of Gansey, he thought of moving into Monmouth Manufacturing, of nights spent in companionable insomnia, of a summer searching for a king, of Gansey asking the Gray Man for his life. Brothers. "
18 " Even though Ronan was snarling and Noah was sighing and Adam was hesitating, he didn’t turn to verify that they were coming. He knew they were. In three different ways, he’d earned them all days or weeks or months before, and when it came to it, they’d all follow him anywhere. "
19 " Adam was in the dream, too; he traced the tangled pattern of ink with his finger. He said, " Scio quid hoc est." As he traced it further and further down on the bare skin of Ronan's back, Ronan himself disappeared entirely, and the tattoo got smaller and smaller. It was a Celtic knot the size of a wafer, and then Adam, who had become Kavinsky, said " Scio quid estis vos." He put the tattoo in his mouth and swallowed it.Ronan woke with a start, ashamed and euphoric.The euphoria wore off long before the shame did.He was never sleeping again. "
20 " Gansey had once told Adam that he was afraid most people didn't know how to handle Ronan. What he meant by this was that he was worried that one day someone would fall on Ronan and cut themselves. "
