“As they scuffled in the grass, Adam closed his eyes and leaned his head back. He could nearly scry just like this. The quiet and the cold breeze on his throat would take him away and the dampness of his toes in his shoes and the scent of living creatures would keep him here. Within and without. He couldn’t tell if he was letting himself idolize this place or Ronan, and he wasn’t sure there was a difference.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Ronan was looking at him, as he had been looking at him for months. Adam looked back, as he had been looking back for months.”
― The Raven King

“A secret is a strange thing. There are three kinds of secrets. One is the sort everyone knows about, the sort you need at least two people for. One to keep it. One to never know. The second is a harder kind of secret: one you keep from yourself. Every day, thousands of confessions are kept from their would-be confessors, none of these people knowing that their never-admitted secrets all boil down to the same three words: I am afraid. And then there is the third kind of secret, the most hidden kind. A secret no one knows about. Perhaps it was known once, but was taken to the grave. Or maybe it is a useless mystery, arcane and lonely, unfound because no one ever looked for it.”

“Hasta ese momento, Blue no creía en la muerte. No de verdad. Era algo que les ocurría a otras personas, a otras familias, en otros lugares. Ocurría en hospitales, accidentes de coche o campos de batalla. Ocurría con ceremonia. Con previo aviso. [...] No era algo que ocurriera sin más en un solo instante, un instante irreversible. [...] Pero había ocurrido. Y ahora ya siempre habría dos Blues: la Blue que era antes y la que había aparecido después. La que no creía en la muerta y la que sí lo hacía.”
