My patchwork life: quiet Sunday, coffee on Grace's breath, the unfamiliar landscape of the lumpy new scar on my arm, the dangerous smell of snow in the air. Two different worlds circling each other, getting closer and closer, knotting together in ways I'd never imagined. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000152572

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000153292
I'm just not a good psychic. I can tell when something's not right, sometimes, but I can't tell what it is, or when it is, or if I'm supposed to do anything about it. I've tried to make it make sense, but I can't. It's just feelings instead of words. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000155102
I JUST TOOK SOME GIRL SCOUT COOKIES OUT OF THE FREEZER."

And Calla was indeed in fine form. She barked, Do you remember how I said that there were three sleepers, and Maura's job was to not wake one of them, and your job was to wake one of the others?

A poor childhood in West Virginia had left Maura with a strong sense of self-reliance, a high tolerance for discomfort, and a black sense of humor. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169478
Something strange and chemical was happening to the Gray Man. Once, he'd been stabbed with a screwdriver - Phillips head, bright blue handle - and falling in love with Maura Sargent was exactly the same. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169481
Then Maura made something with butter and Calla made something with bacon and Blue steamed broccoli in self-defense. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169482

The best-case scenario here is that you make friends with a boy who's going to die."
"Ah," said Calla, in a very, very knowing way. "Now I see."
"Don't psychoanalyse me," her mother said.
"I already have. And I say again, 'ah'. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169494
What do I do?" Blue asked cannily. What have you guys seen me doing?"

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169504

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169507
I'm good," she replied. "But thanks. My mother didn't raise me to be violent."

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169509

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169511
There is something really wrong with those boys. When your mother says don't walk in front of a bus, she has a good reason."

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169521
The Gray Man stood in the doorway behind Maura, his gray suitcase in one hand and a gray jacket slung over the other. He set them both down and straightened. There was that heavy silence that sometimes happens when a hit man enters a room. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169526
Why are you telling me?" Maura asked. "Why is your face so red?"

"Because you're my mother. Because you're an authority figure. Because you're supposed to inform people of your travel plans when you're hiking on dangerous trails. This is what my face always looks like. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000169527
It could kill you, Maura said.

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000175286
Gansey threw open his door. Gripping the roof of the car, he slid himself out. Even that gesture, Ronan noted, was wild-Gansey, Gansey-on-fire. Like he pulled himself from the car because ordinary climbing out was too slow.
This was going to be a night. -- Maggie Stiefvater

He rubbed the side of his face on the pillow. "Mmmmsoft," he remarked, then added, "One's your fault. The other one, you just happen to be there when it happens.

They were headed back to Henrietta in the Pig, Gansey's furiously orange-red ancient Camaro. Gansey drove, because when it was the Camaro, he always drove.

There is nothing special about the mare, nothing at all. A fine enough head, good enough bone. As a pony, she is a beauty. As a capall uisce, she is nothing.

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000598117
Have you thought this through? People die, love. I'm all for women, but this isn't a woman's game.'

And Dick Gansey II had let his son know that if he couldn't hack it in a private school, Gansey was cut out of the will. He'd said it nicely, though, over a plate of fettuccine. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000612661
I couldn't imagine anyone ever reading a book enough to make it look like that. It looked like it had been driven over by a school bus after someone had taken a bath with it. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000612933
Neither of them had kissed someone else in a while, but it didn't much matter. Kissing's a lot like laughing. If the joke's funny, it doesn't matter -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000613640
Something tells me my spit wouldn't mean as much to Corr as yours would." There's a long Pause before Sean speaks. He says, "Maybe not yet." Yet! I don't think I've ever heard such a fine word before. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Grace: I picked up my sweater from the floor and crawled back into bed. Shoving my pillow aside, I balled up the sweater to use instead.
I fell asleep to the scent of my wolf. Pine needles, cold rain, earthy perfume, coarse bristles on my face.
It was almost like he was there. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000619916
The archangel Michael came down from on high and I asked him,'Lo, how can I getteth the stick from my friend Paul's ass?' and he said, 'This ought to go a long way.' And he gave me a six-pack of Heineken. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000621290
She would have asked Noah to confirm this, but he was notoriously disinterested in the details of his afterlife. (Once, Gansey had tersely asked, "Don't you care how it is that you're still here?" and Noah had answered with remarkable acumen, "Do you care how your kidneys work?") -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000621499
Not dead-dying. Funny how two things could be so similar and yet so far apart -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000622735

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000623671
Are you high? Why are you never wearing a shirt?"
"I sleep naked," Cole said. He put both milk and sugar in my coffee. "As the day goes on, I put on more and more clothing. You should've come over an hour ago. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000623885
In the end, he was nobody to Adam, he was nobody to Ronan. Adam spit his words back at him and Ronan squandered however many second chances he gave him. Gansey was just a guy with a lot of stuff and a hole inside him that chewed away more of his heart every year. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000624478
There are tiny, dirty rabbit holes that you have not been down that I have. I have taken people down into those tunnels with me, and they've never come out. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000626456
It wasn't that he expected to see the dead. All of the sources said that church watchers had to possess the second sight, and Gansey barely possessed first sight before he put his contacts in. He just hope for something. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000629006

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000648691
Time's not a line. It's a circle or a figure eight or a goddamn Slinky. If you can believe that, I don't know why you can't believe that someone might be able to glimpse something farther along the Slinky. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000650624
When the girl asked Gansey, he just gazed at her for a minute too long, not realizing he was being rude until too late. This was so far from Richard Gansey's scene that he had no words at all. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000654452
At the moment, he can tell he's being watched by a stranger, however, so he picks his feet up and tosses his mane just a little more than usual. I allow him his show. There are worse flaws than vanity in a horse. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000655346
I couldn't decide if he was four or nine or twelve. I had no idea of the specifics of children. He was too young to drive, but old enough to be able to turn doorknobs. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000655371
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. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000655868
Sam made me uncomfortable. I had a couple of different personas that pretty much worked across the board for everyone I had ever met, but none of them seemed right for him. He was painfully, annoyingly earnest, and how was I supposed to respond to that? -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000657752
It was another country. It was a country for the young, a country where you died before you got old. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000672420
Sean does that slow sweep of his eyes that he does, the one that goes from my head to my toes and back again and makes me feel that he's scanning the depths of my soul and teasing out my motivations and sins. It's worse than confession with Father Mooneyham. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000673977

My ride's here."
"Temporary ride."
Blue exploded, hurling her yogurt container into the recycling bin. "What is it, Orla? Jealousy? Or what? You just don't want me to like them as well as I do because ... you're trying to save me from being hurt? You know what else is temporary? Life. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000702656
Henry was aware he had a great vocabulary. It was not the same thing as having the words you needed to express yourself...sounding like you were saying what you felt was not the same as actually pulling it off. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000703863

Inside the house, I turned on the kitchen light, revealing the photographs stuck every which way all over the cabinets, and then switched on the hall light.

Ronan kept going, his voice louder. No. Do you hear me, Cabeswater? You promised to keep me safe. Who are we to you? Nothing? If you let him die, that is not keeping me safe. Do you understand? If they die, I die, too. -- Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000731396
From her father, Anna-Sophia had inherited a love of burning down houses. Dutch remembered exactly the first words he'd said to her. 'This is somebody's home.' Anna-Sophias face had been puzzled. 'Of course it is.' And then she dropped the burning rag onto the couch. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000753261
The biggest mistake you can make is assuming that creativity will hit you all at once and the muse will carry you to the end of the book on feather wings while 'Foster the People' plays gently in the background. Storytelling is work. Pleasurable work, usually, but it is work. -- Maggie Stiefvater

How arrogant we are, Adam thought, to deliver babies who can't walk or talk or feed themselves. How sure we are that nothing will destroy them before they can take care of themselves.

Blue had indeed cut herself.

After Adam had gone into the reading room, she'd experimentally opened the switchblade and it had obligingly attacked her. It was just a scratch, really. It barely warranted a Band-Aid, but she put one on anyway. -- Maggie Stiefvater

Listening to him tell the story now, it was clear to Adam that Glendower was more than a historical figure to Gansey. He was everything Gansey wished he could be: wise and brave, sure of his path, touched by the supernatural, respected by all, survived by his legacy. -- Maggie Stiefvater

One of the lines in Finn's code is that you're not to say anything about Finn being attractive to the opposite sex. I'm not sure which exact statue governs this, but it's closely related to the one that won't let you thank him.

His mother had told him that when you looked into the eyes of God at the pearly gates, all the questions you ever had were answered.

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 000855411
It wasn't the sort of kiss I'd had with him before, hungry, wanting, desperate. It wasn't the sort of kiss I'd had with anyone before. This kiss was so soft that it was like a memory of a kiss, so careful on my lips that it was like someone running his fingers along them. -- Maggie Stiefvater

If one squinted into Cabeswater long enough, in the right way, one could see secrets dart between the trees. The shadows of horned animals that never appeared.

Maggie Stiefvater Quotes : pic 001052568
