“Captain?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think it was destiny that brought us together?"
He squinted and, after a thoughtful moment, shook his head. "No. I'm pretty sure it was Cinder.”

“I don't know. I don't actually remember anything from before the surgery."
His eyebrows rose, his blue eyes sucking in all the light of the room. "The cybernetic opetation?"

“Esto es, después de todo, el punto. No sabes qué va a pasar si derribas los muros, no puedes ver a través del otro lado, no sabes si va a llevar a la libertad o a la ruina, la resolución o el caos. Podría ser un paraíso o la destrucción.
Derriba los muros.
De lo contrario, debes vivir de cerca, en el miedo, construyendo vallas contra lo desconocido, diciendo oraciones contra la oscuridad, hablando versos de terror y opresión.
De lo contrario quizás nunca conozcas el infierno, pero no vas a encontrar el cielo, tampoco. No vas a saber sobre el aire fresco y volar.
Todos ustedes, donde quiera que estén: en sus ciudades espinosas, o sus pueblos de un solo bulto. Encuéntrala, la cosa sólida, los lazos de metal y la grieta, los fragmentos de piedra llenando tu estómago. Y tira, y tira, y tira.
Haré un pacto contigo: yo lo haré si tú lo haces, siempre y para siempre.
Derriba los muros.”
― Requiem

“I could have killed you.”
“Or I could have killed you,” Percy said.
Jason shrugged. “If there’d been an ocean in Kansas, maybe.”
“I don’t need an ocean—”
“Boys,” Annabeth interrupted, “I’m sure you both would’ve been wonderful at killing each other. But right now, you need some rest.”
Food first,” Percy said. “Please?”
