Rick Riordan
“I wanted to go back to a time before all the sacrifices had been made. Before I had experienced so much pain. But making things right could not mean rewinding the clock. Even Kronos hadn't had that much power over time.
I suspected that wasn't what Jason Grace would want, either.
When he'd told me to remember being human, he'd meant building on pain and tragedy, overcoming it, learning from it. That was something gods never did. We just complained.
To be human is to move forward, to adapt, to believe in your ability to make things better. That is the only way to make the pain and sacrifice mean something.”
Rick Riordan, The Tower of Nero

“Your life," she corrected. "It's the nature of existence. To err is human. We screw up, and then screw up some more.”
Amanda Sellet, By the Book

“There was something highly literary in the idea of succumbing to a fateful solitary misery, like working myself to death making hats.”
Amanda Sellet, By the Book

Amanda Sellet
“I felt a shifting in my brain, pieces of the past rearranging. All this time I’d been thinking in absolutes, like it was an either/or proposition: friends versus not friends, and if it ended badly, the whole thing must have been a lie. But maybe it was more complicated. There could be different types of friendship, and different stages within each one. Deep bonds of loyalty and affection, or ties that have more to do with convenience. Relationships that hold you back, and ones that grow with you.”
Amanda Sellet, By the Book

“In fact, I suspected it might never be finished. I'd keep writing forever, never quite getting it right, until I was a withered crone and he was a well-preserved movie star, with a house on the Riveria and dozens of linen shirts in varying shades of blue.”
Amanda Sellet, By the Book
