Quote #7
If he'd been Ronan, he would've kept going. The thing about Ronan was that he knew no limits, no fears, no boundaries. If Gansey had been Ronan, he would've crushed the gas pedal to the floor until the road or a cop or a tree stopped him. He would cut class tomorrow to go see the forest. (33.12)
Ronan is pretty fearless, which makes him a great fellow adventurer. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any sense of responsibility, unlike Gansey. Gansey's into the idea of exploring forever, but he knows that he needs to pause and take care of his other pressing engagements.
Quote #8
Gansey continued, "I'm going back to Cabeswater. He took my journal, but I'm not letting him take Glendower, too. I'm not going to stop looking just because he's looking, too. And I'm going to fix Noah. Somehow." (35.53)
Gansey certainly doesn't give up when it comes to his quest to find Glendower. Now that he's being threatened by Whelk, he's even less likely to slow down. He's got to find that dead king before Whelk does… it's his destiny.
Quote #9
I'm not betraying him, Adam thought. We're still doing this together. Only, when I come back, we'll be equals.
His friend didn't stir as he let himself out of the door. As he left, the only sound he heard was the whisper of the night wind through the trees of Henrietta. (41.55-56)
Gansey is not going to be happy when he finds out that his best friend tried to go find Glendower without him. That's Gansey's official goal in life, and Adam is taking it away from him.
