"A lot," Ronan translated, and he was right, because, strangely enough, Ronan knew a great deal about how Adam worked. It was possible Adam had always been aware of this but had considered himself—particularly the more unsightly parts of himself—impenetrable. (pg. 234)

(A.N. Really is the fully cart scene)
Ronan lay on his back a few feet away. A box of toothpaste rested on his chest and the cart keeled beside him. He looked profoundly happy. (pg. 236)



CHAPTER 31:

Laying his cheek against the smooth back of it, he looked at Ronan. Strangely enough, Ronan belonged here too, just like he had in 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. (pg. 247)

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. (pg. 247)

It was possible that there were two gods in this church. (pg. 250)

When he wasn't trying to look like an asshole, his face looked very different, and for a tilting moment, Adam felt the startling inequality of their relationship: Ronan knew Adam, but Adam wasn't sure he knew Ronan, after all. (pg. 250)

A king, sleeping. Adam couldn't imagine, though, the strange, wild kingdom Ronan might rule.

"Stop watching me," Ronan said, though his eyes were closed. (pg.251)

An ugly plan hatched by an ugly boy now dreamt into ugly life. How appropriate it was that Ronan, left to his own devices, manifested beautiful cars and beautiful birds and tenderhearted brothers  (pg. 255)






It was amazing that she and Ronan didn't get along better, because they were different brands of the same impossible stuff. (pg. 301.)

Blue flashed him a brilliant look of approval, and then she got into the car with a dramatic door slam Ronan would have approved of. (pg. 301)

He climbed back into his little, shitty car, the one Ronan called the Hondayota.(pg. 301)





(Gansey POV)
As Gansey shut the door behind him, he heard Adam say, "I don't want to talk," and Ronan reply, "The fuck would I talk about?" (pg. 332)






Adam and Ronan regarded each other, and the the pit. They looked winsome and brave, trusting of Cabeswater or of each other. (pg. 352)
