The Raven Boys Friendship Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #7

Adam wasn't certain what came first with Blue—her treating the boys as friends, or them all becoming friends. It seemed to Adam that this circular way to build relationships required a healthy amount of self-confidence to undertake. And it was a strange sort of magic that it felt like she'd always been hunting for Glendower with them. (25.45)

Somehow, Blue manages to infiltrate the raven boys' friend group with ease. This is an impressive feat for a girl who is pretty much a loner at her own public high school.

Quote #8

Gansey's voice, when he replied, was a little rough. "Well, if you killed Adam, I'd be quite upset."

"I'll do my best not to." (28.57-58)

Like many dudes, Gansey doesn't typically get sentimental when he's talking about his friends. But they still mean a whole lot to him, and he doesn't want anything to take them away from him.

Quote #9

There was humiliation in his voice when Noah answered, "We were friends."

Adam said, rather more ferocious than he'd been a moment before, "A friend wouldn't kill you." (32.126-127)

Poor Noah. It's a wonder he's managed to make some new best friends after he died. You'd think that he'd have trust issues after his previous best friend murdered him in cold blood.
