Цитаты из книги Воронята

Sometimes smart people do dumb things.

If I were a free, I would have no reason to love human.

Gansey

...there was something musical about Ronan when he swore, a careful and loving precision to the way he fit the words together, a black-painted poetry. It was far less hateful sounding than when he didn't swear.

Some people envied Ronan's money. Adam envied his time.

This was so like Ronan. His room inside Monmouth was filled with expensive toys, but, like a spoiled child, he ended up playing outside with sticks.

None of the Lynch brothers liked to appear anything other than Intentional, even if it was Intentionally cruel.

Something inside him felt like the night, hungry and wanting and black.

He wasn't certain if it was extremely cute or appallingly ugly, and it bothered him that it managed to be both.

Gansey about Chainsaw

...he was walking a fine line between "polite" and "Ronan".

Their lives were somehow a web, and she had somehow managed to do something to get herself stuck in the very edge of it.

The approval of someone like him, who clearly cared for no one, seemed like it would be worth more.

Blue about Ronan.

Blue liked how polite he was. It seemed different than Gansey's politeness. When Gansey was polite, it made him powerful. When Adam was polite, he was giving power away.

The poor are sad they're poor, Adam had once amused, and turns out the rich are sad they're rich.

Gansey always thought that after Darker it felt like anything could happen. At night Hanrietta felt like magic, and at night, magic felt like it might be a terrible thing.

Adam had already told Gansey he thought Ronan needed to learn to clean up his own messes. It was only Gansey who seemed afraid that Ronan would learn to live in the dirt.

After Adam had been hit there was something remote and absent in his eyes, like his body belonged to someone else. When Ronan was hit, it was the opposite; he became so urgently present that it was if he'd been sleeping before.

He strode over to the ruined church. This, Blue had discovered, was how Gansey got places — striding. Walking was for ordinary people.

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.

"Coincidence," Adam said. Of course meaning that it wasn't. <...> "Coincidence," Ronan said, because it wasn't.

Он произнес это таким тоном, который сразу подтвердил подозрения Адама: Фабрика Монмут и парни, что жили здесь, были туристической остановкой Деклана и Эшли, лишняя тема для беседы за поздним ужином.
