„Laufen? Auch kein Erfolg. Die Waldnymphen, die mich unterrichten sollten, sausten mir sofort davon. Sie meinten, ich solle mir darüber nicht den Kopf zerbrechen. Sie hätten Jahrhunderte Übung darin, vor liebeskranken Göttern wegzurennen. Aber trotzdem fand ich es ein wenig demütigend, langsamer zu sein als ein Baum.“

„Man sollte meinen, in eine Million Stücke zerhackt und in den finstersten Teil der Unterwelt geworfen zu werden, wäre eine klare Andeutung, dass er anderswo nicht willkommen war.“

„Er sah aus wie ein fieses männliches Model, das vorführt, was der modebewusste Schurke im Collegealter dieses Semester auf dem Campus trug.“

„John Green.“

“Um… is that thing?" Frank said.
The horse whinnied angrily.
"I don't think so," Percy guessed. "He just said”

“Rachel: You're a half-blood, too?
Annabeth: Shhh! Just announce it to the world, how about?
Rachel: Okay. Hey, everybody! These two aren't human! They're half Greek god!… They don't seem to care.”

“She glared at me like she was about to punch me, but then she did something that surprised me even more. She kissed me.
"Be careful seaweed brain." She said putting on her invisible cap and disappearing.
I probably would have sat there all day, trying to remember my name, but then the sea demons came.”

“Like water leaking through a dam," said Piper.
"Yeah," smiled Percy. "We've got a dam hole."
"What?" Piper asked.
"Nothing," he said. "Inside joke.”

“I felt like one of Apollo's sacred cows- slow, dumb, and bright red.”

“Annabeth's face, her blond hair and gray eyes, the way she laughed, threw her arms around him, and gave him a kiss whenever he did something stupid.
She must have kissed me a lot, Percy thought.”

“What about a compromise? I’ll kill them first, and if it turns out they were friendly, I’ll apologize.”

“Die, enemies of Ra!" Sekhemet yelled. "Perish in agony!"
"She's almost as annoying as you," I told Horus.
"Impossible," Horus said. "No one bests Horus.”

“Well… sure good to be together again. Arguing. Almost dying. Abject terror. Oh, look. It's our floor.”

“The first lesson every child of Athena learned: Mom was the best at everything, and you should never, suggest otherwise.”

“Thalia's shoulders relaxed. "I owe you one."
"Two."
"One and a half," Thalia said.
She smiled, and for a second, I remembered that I actually liked her when she wasn't yelling at me.”

“Bob says hello," He told the stars.
The Argo II sailed into the night.”

“Sometimes you have to lose a piece to win a game.”

“Nico's voice was like broken glass. "I- I wasn't in love with Annabeth."

"You were jealous of her," Jason said. "That's why you didn't want to be around her. Especially why you don't want to be around… him. It makes total sense.”

“Are you crazy?""
""Probably”

“Nosoi?” Percy planted his feet in a fighting stance. “You know, I keep thinking, I have now killed every single thing in Greek mythology. But the list never seems to end.”

“You haven’t killed me yet,” I noted.

“Don’t tempt me.”

“I think it's time you met Percy. - Annabeth”

“Grover cradeled his laurel sapling in his hands. "Well… sure is good to be back together again. Arguing. Almost dying. Abject terror. Oh, look It's our floor”

“How did you die?"
"We er…. drowned in a bathtub."
"All three of you?"
"It was a big bathtub.”

“I nodded, looking at Rachel with respect. "You hit the Lord of the Titans in the eye with a blue plastic hairbrush.”

“Don't feel bad, I'm usually about to die.”

“Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we're related for better or for worse… and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.”

“It's hard to enjoy practical jokes when your whole life feels like one.”

“It seemed weird calling a teenager 'sir' but I'd learned to be careful with immortals. They tended to get offended easily. Then, they blew stuff up.”

“Why can't you place a blessing like that on us?" I asked.

"It only works on wild animals."

"So it would only affect Percy," Annabeth reasoned.

"Hey!" I protested.”

“Jumping out a window five hundred feet above ground is not usually my idea of fun. Especially when I'm wearing bronze wings and flapping my arms like a duck.”

“She'd also called me brave… unless she was talking to the catfish.”

“!"
I wasn't sure where the Latin came from. I think it meant 'Eat my pants!”

“I don't recommend shadow travel if you're scared of:
a) The dark
b) Cold shivers up your spine
c) Strange noises
d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off
In other words, I thought it was awesome.”
