    Rick Riordan
    “Afterward, I had the last laugh. I made an air bubble at the bottom of the lake. Our friends kept waiting for us to come up, but hey-when you are the son of Poseidon, you don't have to hurry. And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.”
    Rick Riordan

    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control

    “Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned.
    "That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there."
    "Which one is me?" I asked.
    "The little deformed one," Zoe suggested.
    "Oh, shut up.”

    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.”

    “Dreams like a podcast,
    Downloading truth in my ears.
    They tell me cool stuff."
    "Apollo?" I guess, because I figured nobody else could make a haiku that bad.
    He put his finger to his lips. "I'm incognito. Call me Fred."
    "A god named Fred?”

    “Can you surf really well, then?"
    I looked at Grover, who was trying hard not to laugh.
    "Jeez, Nico," I said. "I've never really tried."
    He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)”

    “Why can't you place a blessing like that on us?" I asked.

    "It only works on wild animals."

    “Very slowly using two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water.

    Octavian made a squeaking sound. "What was that for? I didn't say toss it! That could've been evidence. Or spoils of war!"

    Annabeth tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.

    "You other two..." He pointed his blade a Hazel and Piper. "Put your weapons on the dock. No funny bus--"

    All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth's dagger.

    "You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”

    “Once she was gone, I knelt next to Annabeth and felt her forehead. She was still burning up.
    "You're cute when you're worried," she muttered. "Your eyebrows get all scrunched together."
    "You are not going to die while I owe you a favor," I said. "Why did you take that knife?"
    "You would've done the same for me."
    It was true. I guess we both knew it. Still, I felt like somebody was poking my heart with a cold metal rod.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “Now, come over here so I can pat you down."
    "But you don't have-" Percy stopped. "Uh, sure."
    He stood next to the armless statue. Terminus conducted a rigorous mental pat down.
    "You seem to be clean," Terminus decided. "Do you have anything to declare?"
    "Yes," Percy said. "I declare that this is stupid.”
    Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune

    “Correct." Kekrops sounded bitter, like he regretted his decision. "My people were the original Athenians--the gemini."
    "Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo."
    "No, stupid," Leo said. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “The throne rumbled. A wave of gale-force anger slammed into me.
    WHO DARES-
    The voice stopped abruptly, The anger retreated, which was a good thing, because just those two words had almost blasted my mind to shreds.
    Percy. My fathers voice was still angry but more controlled. What-exactly-are you doing on my throne?
    "I'm sorry, Father," I said. "I needed to get your attention."
    This was a very dangerous thing to do. Even for you. If I hadn't looked before I blasted, you would now be a puddle of seawater.
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “Hey, can I see that sword you were using?"
    I showed him Riptide, and explained how it turned from a pen into a sword just by uncapping it.
    "Cool! Does it ever run out of ink?"
    "Um, well, I don't actually write with it."
    "Are you really the son of Poseidon?"
    "Well, yeah."
    "Can you surf really well, then?"
    I looked at Grover, who was trying hard not to laugh.

    “I'm calm," Rachel insisted. "Every time I'm around you, some monsters attack us. What's to be nervous about?"
    "Look," I said. "I'm sorry about the band room. I hope they didn't kick you our or anything."
    "Nah. They asked me a lot of questions about you. I played dumb."
    "Was it hard?" Annabeth asked.”

    “Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
    Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
    Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
    "Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."
    Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
    ...
    I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand."
    "I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said.
    "And..." Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam t-shirt.”

    “Love conquers all," Aphrodite promised. "Look at Helen and Paris. Did they let anything come between them?"

    "Pfft. That's not the point. Follow your heart.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “In a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some devine force is really trying to mess up your day.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan's Curse

    "I don't think so," Percy guessed. "He just said, 'I will trample you to death, silly Chinese Canadian baby man'.
    Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune
