    “Something about telling that story made my gut grow back together."
    What?"
    Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud."
    That's who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of."
    The people who've been in your secret hiding places."
    The people you bite your thumb in front of."

    “Do you always try to kill people when they blow their nose?”
    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

    “God alert!" Blackjack yelled. "It's the wine dude!
    Mr. D sighed in exasperation. "The next person, or horse, who calls me the 'wine dude' will end up in a bottle of Merlot!”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    Rick Riordan
    “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.
    "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.)”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “Argh!" Thalia pushed me, and a shock went through my body that blew me backward ten feet into the water. Some of the campers gasped. A couple of the Hunters stifled laughs.
    "Sorry!" Thalia said, turning pale. "I didn't mean to—"
    Anger roared in my ears. A wave erupted from the creek, blasting into Thalia's face and dousing her from head to toe.
    I stood up. "Yeah," I growled. "I didn't mean to, either."
    Thalia was breathing heavily.
    "Enough!" Chiron ordered.
    But Thalia held out her spear. "You want some, Seaweed Brain?"
    Somehow, it was okay when Annabeth called me that — at least, I'd gotten used to it — but hearing it from Thalia was not cool.
    "Bring it on, Pinecone Face!”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “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.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “Hoover Dam," Thalia said. "It's huge."
    We stood at the river's edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between the cliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so tiny they looked like fleas.
    The naiads had left with a lot of grumbling—not in words I could understand, but it was obvious they hated this dam blocking up their nice river. Our canoes floated back downstream, swirling in the wake from the dam's discharge vents.
    "Seven hundred feet tall," I said. "Built in the 1930s."
    "Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said.
    Graver sighed. "Largest construction project in the United States."
    Zoe stared at us. "How do you know all that?"
    "Annabeth," I said. "She liked architecture."
    "She was nuts about monuments," Thalia said.
    "Spouted facts all the time." Grover sniffled. "So annoying."
    "I wish she were here," I said.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “Brother,” Artemis chided. “You do not help my Hunters. You do not look at, talk to, or flirt with my Hunters. And you do not call them sweetheart.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “Stars," she whispered. "I can see the stars again, my lady."
    A tear trickled down Artemis's cheek. "Yes, my brave one. They are beautiful tonight."
    Stars," Zoe repeated. Her eyes fixed on the night sky. And she did not move again.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “And, whoa!" He turned to Mr.D. "Your the wine dude? No way!"
    Mr.D turned hi eyes away from me and gave Nico a look of loathing. "The wine dude?"
    "Dionysus, right? Oh, wow! I've got your figurine!"
    "My figurine."
    "In my game, Mythomagic. And holofoil card, too! And even though you've only got like five hundred attack points and everybody thinks your the lamest god card, I totally think your powers are sweet!"
    "Ah." Mr.D seemed truly perplexed, which probably saved my life. "Well, that's...gratifying.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    Rick Riordan
    “Apollo?” I guessed…
    He put a finger to his lips. “I’m incognito. Call me Fred.”
    A god named Fred?”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “Little sister!" Apollo called. If his teeth were any whiter he could've blinded us without the sun car. "What's up? You never call. You never write. I was getting worried!"
    Artemis sighed. "I'm fine, Apollo. And I am not your little sister."
    "Hey, I was born first."
    "We're twins! How many millennia do we have to argue—”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “I looked at Thalia. "You're afraid of heights."

    Now that we were safely down the mountain, her eyes had their usual angry look. "Don't be stupid."

    That explains why you freaked out on Apollo's bus. Why you didn't want to talk about it."

    She took a deep breath. Then she brushed the pine needles out of her hair. "If you tell anyone, I swear—"

    No, no," I said. "That's cool. It's just… the daughter of Zeus, the Lord of the Sky, afraid of heights?”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

  • #24
    Rick Riordan
    “Looking up in the sky, I saw the stars were brighter now. They made a pattern I had never noticed before- a gleaming constellation that looked a lot like a girls figure- a girl with a bow, running across the sky. "Let the world honor you, my Huntress. Live forever in the stars.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    Rick Riordan
    “She studied me with concern. She touched the new streak of gray in my hair that matched hers exactly—our painful souvenir from holding Atlas's burden. There was a lot I'd wanted to say to Annabeth, but Athena had taken the confidence out of me. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.
    I do not approve of your friendship with my daughter.
    "So," Annabeth said. "What did you want to tell me earlier?"
    The music was playing. People were dancing in the streets. I said, "I, uh, was thinking we got interrupted at Westover Hall. And… I think I owe you a dance."
    She smiled slowly. "All right, Seaweed Brain."
    So I took her hand, and I don't know what everybody else heard, but to me it sounded like a slow dance: a little sad, but maybe a little hopeful, too.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “This is so cool!" Nico said, jumping up and down in the driver's seat. "Is this really the sun? I thought Helios and Selene were the sun and moon gods. How come sometimes it's them and sometimes it's you and Artemis?"
    "Downsizing," Apollo said. "The Romans started it. They couldn't afford all those temple sacrifices, so they laid off Helios and Selene and folded their duties into our job descriptions. My sis got the moon. I got the sun. It was pretty annoying at first, but at least I got this cool car."
    "But how does it work?" Nico asked. "I thought the sun was a big fiery ball of gas!"
    Apollo chuckled and ruffled Nico's hair. "That rumor probably got started because Artemis used to call me a big fiery ball of gas.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “The wind blowing through my ripped clothes was so cold that I felt like a Percysicle.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

  • #29
    Rick Riordan
    “But who are you?"

    Percy—" I started to say. Then the skeletons turned around. "Gotta go!"

    What kind of name is Percy Gotta-go?”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “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."
    Maybe it was the fact that we were so tired and strung out emotionally, but I started
    cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us. "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."
    I busted up, and I probably would've kept laughing all day, but then I heard a noise:
    "Moooo."
    The smile melted off my face. I wondered if the noise was just in my head, but Grover
    had stopped laughing too. He was looking around, confused. "Did I just hear a cow?"
    "A dam cow?" Thalia laughed.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse
