    “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.

    "Which one is me?" I asked.

    “Hades raised an eyebrow. When he sat forward in his throne, shadowy faces appeared in the folds of his black robes, faces of torment,as if the garment was stitched of trapped souls from the Fields of Punishment, trying to get out. The ADHD part of me wondered, off-task, whether the rest of his clothes were made the same way. What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades' underwear?”

    “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.

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    Henry David Thoreau
    “Life consists with Wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life. He would be climbing over the prostrate stems of primitive forest trees.”
    Henry David Thoreau, Walking

    “Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, "I can't tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let's walk faster." Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.”

    “What’s not so great is that all this technology is destroying our social skills. Not only have we given up on writing letters to each other, we barely even talk to each other. People have become so accustomed to texting that they’re actually startled when the phone rings. It’s like we suddenly all have Batphones. If it rings, there must be danger.

    Now we answer, “What happened? Is someone tied up in the old sawmill?”

    “No, it’s Becky. I just called to say hi.”

    “Well you scared me half to death. You can’t just pick up the phone and try to talk to me like that. Don’t the tips of your fingers work?”
    Ellen DeGeneres, Seriously... I'm Kidding

  • #25
    “Who's to say what's better or worse anyway? Who's to even say what's normal or average? We're all different people and we're allowed to be different from on another. If someone ever says you're weird, say thank you. And then curtsy. No, don't curtsy. That might be too weird. Bow. And tip your imaginary hate. That'll show them.”
    Ellen DeGeneres, Seriously... I'm Kidding

    “Find out who you are and figure out what you believe in. Even if it's different from what your neighbors believe in and different from what your parents believe in. Stay true to yourself. Have your own opinion. Don't worry about what people say about you or think about you. Let the naysayers nay. They will eventually grow tired of naying.”
    Ellen DeGeneres, Seriously... I'm Kidding

  • #30
    “My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.”
