“You missed World Hist.""Did you get notes for me?""No. I thought you were dead in a ditch.”

“She wasn't interested in telling other people's futures. She was interested in going out and finding her own.”

“Somehow, having a deer preside over the ceremony of a werewolf and a girl seems oddly appropriate.”

“The most dangerous and wonderful creature alive is the human.”

“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.”

“Cole says "I never believed in love, not really, just thought it was something James Bond made up a long time ago to get laid”

“My words are unerring tools ofdestruction, and I’ve come unequipped with the ability to disarm them.”

“Luke glanced at me, his expression oddly light. "Shh, pretty girl. Let's enjoy ourselves for a bit before you start riddling again ".”

“Do you know how some people can do anything?”“What do you mean?”“I mean, you tell them to write a tune, they give you a symphony right there. You tell them to write a book, they write you a novel in a day. You tell them to move a spoon without touching it, they move it. If they want something, they make it happen. Miracles, almost.”

“You´re like a song I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again.”

“Don’t stand behind a strange horse, don’t look a strange dog in the eyes, don’t rub a strange cat’s belly, and for God’s sake, don’t let strange men handcuff you to your bed.”

“Blue tried not to look at Gansey's boat shoes; she felt better about him as a person if she pretended he wasn't wearing them.”

“This is what you get, Maura, for using your DNA to make a baby.”

“This time of year, I live and breathe the beach. My cheeks feel raw with the wind throwing sand against them. My thighs sting from the friction ofthe saddle. My arms ache from holding up two thousand pounds of horse. I have forgotten what it is like to be warm and what a full night’s sleep feels like and what my name sounds like spoken instead of shouted across yards of sand.I am so, so alive.”

“His face was just strange enough that she wanted to keep looking at it.”

“It was exactly what I wanted-beautiful distraction.”

“Have you heard of the legends of sleeping kings? The legends that heroes like Llewellyn and Glendower and Arthur aren’t really dead, but are instead sleeping in tombs, waiting to be woken?”

“The Boy should watch where he’s going,” shesaid.“Rachel should not manifest in doorways,” Ireplied.”

“Sam?" Rachel asked. "Do you know you have the saddest sad face ever?”

“Da" -Cole”

“Невежеството не оправдава престъплението.”

“People being nice for no apparent reason always made me suspicious. People being nice to me with no apparent reason made me even more suspicious.”

“Wow, you're never allowed to sleep late again. You're crankier than a fat guy in stilettos.”

“sensitive," I tried. Sam translated, "squishy.""creative." "Dangerously Emo.""thoughtful." Feng shui.”

“it's just another way to die”

“You're not going to die," I told her, lifting my head to look at her. "I'm not done writing songs about you yet.”

“I hated it. I hated this. I hated feeling so terrible because of someone else.”

“Why did everything feel like saying good-bye?”

“I looked good when I sang the end.”

“Okay, outside," the clerk said. "Conversation outside. Bye! Have a nice night!”

“He waved his bloody finger in a sort of thank-you.”

“That was pretty much all you needed to know about Cole, right there. He saw something he didn't quite understand, liked it, and took it to be his.”

“He was not as soft as when I'd first met him, not as young, but the angles of his face, his quick gestures, the way he sucked in his lower lip to think before going on - I was in love with all of it.”

“I had so much free time that free time was meaningless.”

“In the middle of all this, as Sean slips out of his jacket, he looks over his shoulder at me and he smiles at me, just a glancing, faint thing before he turns back to Tommy. I'm quite happy for that smile, because Dad told me once you should be grateful for the gifts that are the rarest.”

“I slowly climbed back to my feet, walked back into the emergency department through the silently swishing glass doors, and, covered in my girlfriend's blood, lied perfectly for the first time in my life. "I tried to stop her.”

“I remembered standing in the middle of the street in front of The Crooked Bookshelf, filled with the certainty of a future. I had heard the wolves howling behind the house and remembered how glad I had been to be human.”

“I still watch her now, like I always did, and she watches me, her brown eyes looking out from a wolf's face. This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf, and a girl who became one.I won't let this be my last good-bye. I've folded one thousand paper cranes of me and Grace, and I've made my wish. I will find a cure. And then I will find Grace.”

“Somewhere fate laughs in her far-off country, because now I am the human and it is Grace I will lose again and again, immer wieder, always the same, every winter, losing more of her each year, unless I find a cure.”

“So it comes to this: I would have lost her either way. If Cole hadn't reinfected her, I would have lost her in the hospital bed. And now Cole's wolf tozin pumps through her veins, and I lose her to the woods, like I lose everything I love.So here is me, and I am a boy watched--by her parents' suspicious eyes, since they cannot prove that I kidnapped Grace but believe nonetheless--and I am a boy watchful--because Tom Culpeper's bitterness is growing palpable in this tiny town and I will NOT bury Grace's body--and I am a boy waiting--for the heat and the fruitfulness of summer, waiting to see who will walk out of those woods for me. Waiting for my lovely summer girl.”

“I'm always sure of what I do," he said. "Sometimes I was just never sure there was supposed to be a happy ending.”

“It's adrenaline, not prom sex.”

“I could live inside a G major chord, with Grace, if she was willing.”

“That's a depressing and practical thought," Sam said. "I'd rather it was something magical.”

“Sam did smile then, and said softly, "Hey Angel.”

“Mom, you're the one who said to never stop in case I get raped or picked up by a democrat.”

“Once upon a time, there lived a boy, and he had to risk everything to keep what he loved. But really the story was: Once upon a time, there lived a boy, and his fear ate him alive.”

“Not all. Some of them he probably lectured to death.”

“Sam," she said, and I crushed her to me.”

“I slithered out of the sinkhole on my stomach. It was not the sexiest move I'd ever performed, but I was impressed nonetheless.”
