    “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--”

    “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.”

    “We only came close to dying six or seven times, which I thought was pretty good. Once, I lost my grip and found myself dangling by one hand from a ledge fifty feet above the rocky surf. But I found another handhold and kept climbing. A minute later Annabeth hit a slippery patch of moss and her foot slipped. Fortunately, she found something else to put it against. Unfortunately, that something was my face.
    "Sorry," she murrmured.
    "S'okay," I grunted, though I'd never really wanted to know what Annabeth's sneaker tasted like.”

    “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.”

    "I do." She closes her eyes,and her jaw quivers. "I swore to get you safely through this-and I will. And then you'll return with the Gales and meet your betrothed."

    "They can take their betrothal and shove it. I want you."

    “-Vos tenéis el valor de un guerrero -masculló.
    Vi que se volvía y recogía ropas del suelo. ¿Él creía que yo era valiente? Pero estaba aterrado -siempre aterrado.
    -No -objeté-. No lo tengo.
    Él dejó de meter aquella túnica de valor incalculable entre dos fardos y me miró.
    -¿Tenéis miedo ahora?
    Asentí, y me ruboricé de verguenza.
    -¿Y el miedo va a impediros actuar?
    -No.
    -Ese es el valor del guerrero." Ryko y Eon”

    “He grunted. 'You have the courage of a warrior.'
    I watched him turn away and gather the clothes from the ground. He thought me courageous? But I was terrified - always terrified.
    'No,' I said flatly. 'I don't."
    He paused from stuffing the invaluable robe between two bales. 'Are you frightened now?'
    I nodded, shame flushing my skin.
    'Is it going to stop you?'
    'No.'
    'That is the courage of a warrior.”

    “You are wrong when you say there is no power in being a woman. When I think of my mother and the women in my tribe, and the hidden women in the harem, I know there are many types of power in this world...I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life? I don't think I could do it.”

    “It was when she returned to him, chilled & clearheaded, that it happened. He sat against the tree, his knees bent & his head in his hands. His shoulders slumped. Tired, unhappy. Something tender caught in her breath at the sight of him. And then he raised his eyes and looked at her, and she saw what she had not seen before. She gasped.
    His eyes were beautiful. His face was beautiful to her in every way, and his shoulders and hands. And his arms that hung over his knees, and his chest that was not moving, because he held his breath as he watched her. And the heart in his chest. This friend. How had she not seen this before? How had she not seen him? She was blind. And then tears choked her eyes, for she had not asked for this. She had not asked for this beautiful man before her, with something hopeful in his eyes that she did not want.”

    “So, Grace, how's school?" I asked myself.
    Dad nodded, eyes on the baby koala now struggling in the guest's arms.
    "Oh, it's fine," I continued, and Dad made a mumbling noise of agreement. I added, "Nothing special, aside from the load of pandas they brought in, and the teachers abandoning us to cannibalistic savages-" I paused to see if I'd caught his attention yet, then pressed on. "The whole building caught fire, then I failed drama, and then sex, sex, sex."
    Dad's eyes abruptly focused, and he turned to me and frowned. "What did you say they were teaching you in school?”

    “I said uselessly, "Sam, don't go."

    Sam cupped my face in his hands and looked me in the eyes. His eyes were yellow, sad, wolf, mine.

    "These stay the same. Remember that when you look at me. Remember it's me. Please.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver
