Well, it's a deadly projectile, right up there with

cannonballs and grenades."

"What if it lines up like it did in the Trojan War ... Athena versus Poseidon?"
"I don't know. But I just know that I'll be fighting next to you."
"Why?"
"Because you're my friend, Seaweed Brain. Any more stupid questions?"
— Rick Riordan
"Love conquers all," Aphrodite promised. "Look at Helen and Paris. Did they let anything
come between them?"

— Rick Riordan
"Dreams like a podcast,

Downloading truth in my ears.
They tell me cool stuff."

"A god named Fred?"
— Rick Riordan
"The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa,
okay? They were about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to
save them. So Zeus sent this magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in
Greece and carried them all the way to Colchis in Asia Minor. Well, actually it carried
Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that's not important."
"It was probably important to her."
— Rick Riordan
"The cafe windows wrapped all the way around the observation floor, which gave us a

million people, but at least you're safe."
"Yep, that pretty much covers it."
— Rick Riordan
"Something was wrong with Luke," Annabeth muttered, poking at the fire with her knife. "Did
you notice the way he was acting?"
"He looked pretty pleased to me," I said. "Like he'd spent a nice day torturing heroes."
"That's not true! There was something wrong with him. He looked...nervous. He told his
monsters to spare me. He wanted to tell me something."
"Probably, 'Hi, Annabeth! Sit here with me and watch while I tear your friends apart. It'll be
fun!"
— Rick Riordan
"Hermes gazed up at the stars. 'My dear young cousin, if there's one thing I've learned over
the eons, it's that you can't give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. It
doesn't matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don't appreciate your genius for
inventing the Internet--"
— Rick Riordan (The Sea of Monsters)
"New lesson, class. Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword.
This change is perfectly normal, and will happen to you right now if you don't BACK OFF!" -
Percy"

"Getting something and having the wits to use it...those are two different things."
"Don't feel bad, I'm usually about to die."

Instead she said, "You drool when you sleep."
— Rick Riordan
"How did you die?"

"We er....drowned in a bathtub."
"All three of you?"
"It was a big bathtub."
"All I could think of was that the teachers must've found the illegal stash of candy I'd been
selling out of my dorms room. Or maybe they'd realized I got my Essay on Tom Sawyer from
the Internet without ever reading the book and now they were going to take away my grade.
Or worse, they were going to make me read the book. "
"Remake the world, a little at a time, each in your own corner of the world."
"There were a lot of answers I might've given, from "I knew that" to "LIAR!" to "Yeah right,
and I'm Zeus." - Percy, after Quintus says that he is Daedalus"
"Even strengh must bow to wisdom sometimes."

"Thalia's shoulders relaxed. "I owe you one."
"Two."
"One and a half," Thalia said.
She smiled, and for a second, I remembered that I actually liked her when she wasn't yelling
at me."
"Do you always try to kill people when they blow their nose?"
"Remind me again-why do you hate me so much?"

I don't hate you."
Could've fooled me."
She folded her cap of invisibility. "Look...we're just not supposed to get along, okay? Our
parents are rivals."
Why?"
She sighed. "How many reasons do you want? One time my mom caught Poseidon with his
girlfriend in Athena's temple, which is hugely disrespectful. Another time, Athena and
Poseidon competed to be the patron god for the city of Athens. Your dad created some stupid
saltwater spring for his gift. My mom created the olive tree. The people saw that her gift was
better, so they named the city after her."
They must really like olives."
Oh, forget it."
Now, if she'd invented pizza-that I could understand."
"You weren't able to talk sense into him?"
Well, we kind of tried to kill each other in a duel to the death."
I see. You tried the diplomatic approach."

"Are you guys busy?" Juniper asked.
"Well," I said, "we're in the middle of this game against a bunch of monsters and we're trying
not to die."
"We're not busy," Annabeth said."
"What I did next was so impulsive and dangerous I should've been named ADHD poster child
of the year."
"You're pretty smug, Lord Ares, for a guy who runs from Cupid statues."
"We'd spent maybe ten minutes together, during which time I'd accidentally swung a sword at
her, she'd saved my life, and I'd run away chased by a band of supernatural killing machines.
You know, your typical chance meeting."
"Chiron insisted that we talk about the Labyrinth in the morning which is like 'Hey, your life's
in mortal danger. Sleep tight!"
"Great, I thought. We just blowtorched a national monument."

"There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it."
"I've been waiting a long time for a quest, Seaweed Brain," she said. "Athena is no fan of
Poseidon, but if you're going to save the world, I'm the best person to keep you from messing
up."
"The most dangerous flaws are those which are good in moderation," she said. "Evil is easy to
fight. Lack of wisdom… that is very hard indeed."
"Thalia had been turned into a pine tree when she was 12. Me... well, i was doing my best not
to follow her example. I had nightmares about what Poseidon might turn me into if i were
ever in the verge of death. Plankton, maybe. Or a floating patch of kelp."
"THAT Perseus always won. That's why my mom had named me after him, even if he was son
of Zeus and I was son of Poseidon. The original Perseus was one of the only heroes in the
Greek myths who got a happy ending. The others died-betrayed, mauled, mutilated, poisoned,
or cursed by the gods. My mom hoped I would inherit Perseus's luck. Judging by how my life
was going so far, I wasn't too optimistic."
"Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood.

If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right
now. Believe whatever lie your mom and dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a
normal life.
Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful nasty
ways.
If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you
for being able to believe none of this ever happened.
But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside- stop reading
immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a matter of time
before THEY sense it too, and they'll come for you.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
-Percy Jackson"
"Monkey bars,” Annabeth said. “I’m great at these.”
She leaped onto the first rung and started swinging her way across. She was scared of tiny
spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. Go figure."
"You deal with mythological stuff for a few years, you learn that paradises are usually places
where you get killed."
"She'd also called me brave... unless she was talking to the catfish."
— Rick Riordan
"[My mom's] funny that way, celebrating special occasions with blue food. I think it's her
way of saying anything is possible. Percy can pass seventh grade. Waffles can be blue.
Little miracles like that."
"Annabeth: Hey, Seaweed Brain.

Percy: Will you stop calling me that?
Annabeth: You know you love it."
— Rick Riordan
"But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword."
"What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades'
underwear?"
"Isn't your mom the goddess of inventors?" I asked.
Annabeth glared at me. "Yes, but this is different. I'm good with ideas. Not Mechanics."
If I was going to pick one person in the world to reattach my head," I said "I'd pick you."
I just blurted it out-to give her confidence, I guess-but immediately I realized it sounded
pretty stupid.
Awww..." Silena sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Percy that is so sweet!"
— Rick Riordan (The Demigod Files)
"With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later."
— Rick Riordan (The Last Olympian)
"It seemed weird calling a teenager 'sir' but I'd learned to be careful with immortals. They
tended to get offended easily. Then, they blew stuff up."
— Rick Riordan
"I love New York. You can pop out of the Underworld in Central Park, hail a taxi, head
down Fifth Avenue with a giant hellhound loping behind you, and nobody even looks at
you funny."
— Rick Riordan
"The main courtyard was filled with warriors - mermen with fish tails from the waist
down and human bodies from the waist up, except their skin was blue, which I'd never
known before. Some were tending the wounded. Some were sharpening spears and
swords. One passed us, swimming in a hurry. His eyes were bright green, like that stuff
they put in glo-sticks, and his teeth were shark teeth. They don't show you stuff like that
in "The Little Mermaid."
~Percy"
— Rick Riordan
"Race you to the road?" I said.

"You are so going to lose." She took off down Half-Blood Hill and I sprinted after her.
For once, I didn't look back."
"My name is Percy Jackson.

I'm twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy,
a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York.
Am I a troubled kid?
Yeah. You could say that. "
"The last time I'd seen the Minotaur, he'd been wearing nothing but his tighty whities. I
don't know why. Maybe he'd been shaken out of bed to chase me."
"I don't recommend shadow travel if you're scared of:

a) The dark
b) Cold shivers up your spine
c) Strange noises
d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off
In other words, I thought it was awesome."
"Seriously, who has monogrammed pajamas?"

"Well . . . sure good to be together again. Arguing. Almost dying. Abject terror. Oh, look.
It's our floor."
"Why do you need to gallop while you fly?"

"Why do humans have to sway their arms while they walk? I dunno boss, but it just feels
right."
"Hope survives best at the hearth."
— Rick Riordan
"You're the last Olympian,' I said. 'And the most important.'

And why is that, Percy Jackson?'
Because Hope survives best at the hearth,' I said."
— Rick Riordan
"I wasn't aiming at the school bus, but of course I got expelled anyway."
"It was one of those and so they died/the end stories, that made us demigods feels all
warm and fuzzy inside.-Percy"
"Not all powers are spectacular." Hestia looked at me. "Sometimes the hardest power to
master is the power of yielding."
