    “Oh, I am getting married," Raisa said sleepily. "You promised me that if I agreed to marry you, that you would make it happen." She extended her hand, the one with the ring Han had given her, and waved it under his nose. "So. It's time to pay up.”

    “Haven't you heard about me?" he said, with a tight smile. "I'm really a very dangerous person." And he did look dangerous until he said, "Look, could you watch Dog for me while I'm gone? I can't take him where I'm going.”

    “Crow paced back and forth, his form flickering like flame. “It’s been a thousand years, Alister. I never intended for anyone to find it, so it’s very well protected. One little misstep, and you and my line will be history.”
    “Since when are you so concerned about your line?” Han said.
    Crow stared at him for a long moment. “Since I found out I had one,”

    “The next chamber is full of songbirds, if I remember right. Their music is like turtleweed. It will put you to sleep if you listen to it. They sleep most of the time, so the best thing is to pass through without waking them up. If they do awaken, then you must sing loud enough to drown out their music."
    "Great," Han said. "Whose idea was that?"
    "It seemed like a good idea at the time," Crow said. "I was an excellent singer.”

    Cinda Williams Chima
    “Well, I believe she went in to rescue some Raggers from the pits,” Cuffs said. “She wasn’t all that specific.”
    “She went in to rescue — why would she do that?” Amon gripped the ironwork, studying the streetlord’s face. Was he lying? And if so, what was the purpose?
    “Guess she’s kind of taken with us,” Cuffs said. “You know, the glamor of the gang life and all. Getting beat up every other day, arrested for crimes you didn’t commit, long nights in gaol, sleeping in the cold and wet. It’s...seductive.” He raised an eyebrow.”

    All you ever needed was that smile, she thought. I'd have given in immediately.”

    “What could she tell him? I notice everything about him, from his flawed nose to his battle scars to his eyes as blue as an upland lake at midsummer. Sometimes I see the boy he would have been had it not been for his life at Ragmarket. He wears his pain on his face in unguarded moments; at other times, I can see just how dangerous he is. No, she couldn't say any of that.”

    “I know when I'm awake and when I'm asleep," Ronan Lynch said.
    Adam Parrish, curled over himself in a pair of battered, greasy coveralls, asked, "Do you?"
    "Maybe I dreamt you," he said.
    "Thanks for the straight teeth, then," Adam replied.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

    “As they moved through the old barn, Adam felt Ronan’s eyes glance off him and away, his disinterest practiced but incomplete. Adam wondered if anyone else noticed. Part of him wished they did and immediately felt bad, because it was vanity, really:

    See, Adam Parrish is wantable, worthy of a crush, not just by anyone, someone like Ronan, who could want Gansey or anyone else and chose Adam for his hungry eyes.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

    “It kills Dittleys and does terrible things to my friend."

    "YOUR DEAD FRIEND."

    "That's not his fault. Why didn't you say you could see him?"

    "I DIDN'T SAY I COULD SEE YOU, EITHER."

    "But I'm not dead."

    "BUT YOU ARE PRETTY SHORT.”

    “Adam finally sat down on one of the pews. Laying his cheek against the smooth back of it, he looked at Ronan. Strangely enough, Ronan belonged here, too, just as he had at the Barns. This noisy, lush religion had created him just as much as his father's world of dreams; it seemed impossible for all of Ronan to exist in one person. Adam was beginning to realize that he hadn't known Ronan at all. Or rather, he had known part of him and assumed it was all of him.
    The scent of Cabeswater, all trees after rain, drifted past Adam, and he realized that while he'd been looking at Ronan, Ronan had been looking at him.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

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

    “It should have been impossible. No one should have been able to dream any of these thing, much less all of them. But Adam had seen what Ronan could do. He'd read the dreamt will and ridden in the dreamt Camaro and been terrified by the dreamt night terror.
    It was possible that there were two gods in this church.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

    Maggie Stiefvater
    “What an impossible and miraculous and hideous thing this was. An ugly plan hatched by an ugly boy now dreamt into ugly life. From dream to reality. How appropiate it was that Ronan, left to his own devices, manifested beautiful cars and beautiful birds and tenderhearted brothers, while Adam, when given the power, manifested a filthy string of perverse murders.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

    Maggie Stiefvater
    “The only thing more pleasing than seeing Ronan singled out was seeing him singled out and forced to repeatedly sing an Irish jig. “Piss up a rope,” Ronan said. Gansey, unoffended, waited. Ronan shook his head, but then, with a wicked smile, he began to sing, “Squash one, squash two, s—” “Not that one,” both Adam and Gansey said. “I’m not listening to that for three hours,” Adam said. Gansey pointed at Ronan until he began to breathily whistle a jaunty reel.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

    “And Ronan Lynch looked like Niall Lynch, which was to say, he looked like an asshole.”

    Bernard Beckett
    “Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear, and superstition. By the year 2050, when the conflict began, the world had fallen upon fearful, superstitious times.”
    Bernard Beckett, Genesis
