    Leigh Bardugo
    “He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he'd begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “If only you could talk to girls in equations.”
    There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they’d created in the link, Wylan said, “Just girls?”
    Jesper restrained a grin. “No. Not just girls.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Why don't Fjerdans let girls fight?"

    "They don't want to fight."

    "How do you know? Have you ever asked one?"

    "Fjerdan women are to be venerated, protected."

    "That's probably a wise policy."

    "It is?"

    "Think how embarrassing it would be for you when you got trounced by a Fjerdan girl.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    Leigh Bardugo
    “I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Has anyone noticed this whole city is looking for us, mad at us, or wants to kill us?"
    "So?" said Kaz.
    "Well, usually it's just half the city.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Where do you think the money went?” he repeated.
    “Guns?” asked Jesper.
    “Ships?” queried Inej.
    “Bombs?” suggested Wylan.
    “Political bribes?” offered Nina. They all looked at Matthias. “This is where you tell us how awful we are,” she whispered.
    He shrugged. “They all seem like practical choices.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “This action will have no echo.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

  • #14
    Leigh Bardugo
    “Why do you guys say that, anyway? No mourners, no funerals? Why not just say good luck or be safe?”
    “We like to keep our expectations low.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Until this moment, Wylan hadn't quite understood how much they meant to him. His father would have sneered at these thugs and thieves, a disgraced soldier, a gambler who couldn't keep out of the red. But they were his first friends, his only friends, and Wylan knew that even if he'd had his pick of a thousand companions, these would have been the people he chose.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “I promise, Matthias. I'll take you home."
    "Nina," he said, pressing her hand to his heart. "I am already home.”

    “We were all supposed to make it,” said Wylan softly. Maybe that was naive, the protest of a rich merchant’s son who’d only had a taste of Barrel life.
    But Jesper realized he’d been thinking the same thing. After all their mad escapes and close calls, he’d started to believe the six of them were somehow charmed, that his guns, Kaz’s brains, Nina’s wit, Inej’s talent, Wylan’s ingenuity, and Matthias’ strength had made them somehow untouchable. They might suffer. They might take their knocks, but Wylan was right, in the end they were all supposed to stay standing.
    “No mourners,” said Jesper, surprised by the ache of tears in his throat.
    “No funerals,” they all replied softly.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “You’re not weak because you can’t read. You’re weak because you’re afraid of people seeing your weakness. You’re letting shame decide who you are. […] It’s shame that lines my pockets, shame that keeps the Barrel teeming with fools ready to put on a mask just so they can have what they want with none the wiser about it. We can endure all kinds of pain. It’s shame that eats men whole.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    I am not sorry, she realized. She had chosen to live freely as a killer rather than die quietly as a slave, and she could not regret that.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Wait,” he said. The burn of his voice was rougher than usual. “Is my tie straight?”
    Inej laughed, her hood falling back from her hair.
    “That’s the laugh,” he murmured, but she was already setting off down the quay, her feet barely touching the ground.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Rick Riordan
    “Legion, cuneum formate!’ Reyna yelled. ‘Advance!’ Another cheer on Jason’s right as Percy and Annabeth reunited with the forces of Camp Half-Blood.

    ‘Greeks!’ Percy yelled. ‘Let’s, um, fight stuff!’ They yelled like banshees and charged.

    Jason grinned. He loved the Greeks. They had no organization whatsoever, but they made up for it with enthusiasm.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    “Atlantis?' Jason asked.
    'That's a myth,' Percy said.
    'Uh...don't we deal in myths?'
    'No, I mean it's a MADE-UP myth. Not like, an actual true myth.'

    'So this is why Annabeth is the brains of the operation, huh?”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her...long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart. Piper had long ago decided to change that rule. Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone`s heart whole; that was a much better test.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “You will suffer, son of Hades!’
    What else is new? Nico thought.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “Then she did something so unexpected Nico would later think he dreamed it. She walked up to Nico, who was standing to one side in the shadows, as usual. She grabbed his hand and pulled him gently into the firelight. ‘We had one home,’ she said. ‘Now we have two.’ She gave Nico a big hug and the crowd roared with approval. For once, Nico didn’t feel like pulling away. He buried his face in Reyna’s shoulder and blinked the tears out of his eyes.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    “You can't choose your parentage. But you can choose your legacy.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “The rivalry ends here," Percy said. "I love you, Wise Girl.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “At Camp Half-Blood. The Hades cabin needs a head counsellor. Have you seen the decor? It’s disgusting. I’ll have to renovate. And someone needs to do the burial rites properly, since demigods insist on dying heroically.’
    ‘That’s – that’s fantastic! Dude!’ Jason opened his arms for a hug, then froze. ‘Right. No touching. Sorry.’
    Nico grunted. ‘I suppose we can make an exception.’ Jason squeezed him so hard Nico thought his ribs would crack.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

  • #29
    Rick Riordan
    “No,’ Nico said. ‘Getting a second life is one thing. Making it a better life, that’s the trick.’ As soon as he said it, Nico realized he could’ve been talking about himself. He decided not to bring that up.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

  • #30
    Rick Riordan
    “Fear can’t be reasoned with. Neither can hate. They’re like love. They’re almost identical emotions. That’s why Ares and Aphrodite like each other. Their twin sons – Fear and Panic – were spawned from both war and love.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus
