“All this time she'd been wondering how Gansey might die and it turned out she was going to strangle him.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“How to be the
daughter she was supposed to be, her parents’ American Dream. How to
untangle the parts of her that were Chinese and the parts of her that were
American, how both so often felt like neither.”
― Grace D. Li, Portrait of a Thief

“What's wrong with wanting everything?
Nothing, as long as you know how to get it.”

“Casually, out of view of Ronan, making sure Adam was still sleeping, Gansey dangled his hand between the driver's seat and the door. Palm up, fingers stretched back to Blue.

This was not allowed.

He knew it was not allowed, by rules he himself had set. He would not permit himself to play favorites between Adam and Ronan; he and Blue couldn't play favorites in this way, either. She would not see the gesture, anyway. She would ignore it if she did. His heart hummed.

Blue touched his fingertips.

Just this--

He pinched her fingers lightly, just for a moment, and then he withdrew his hand and put it back on the wheel. His chest felt warm.

This was not allowed.

Ronan had not seen. Adam was still sleeping. The only casualty was his pulse.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue
