“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

“What are men to rocks and mountains?”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Life sucks, and then you die...”
― Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn

“Does the difference matter? someone else asked. Does it matter whether the law seeks to protect you because you are an individual or because of the group of which you happen to be a member? That question floated around the room, and it has remained with me ever since.”
― Philippe Sands, East West Street: On the Origins of "Genocide" and "Crimes Against Humanity"
