Rick Riordan Zitate

seite 5

„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.“

“Grover didn't say anything for awhile. Then, when I thought he was going to give me some deep philosophical comment to make me feel better, he said, "Can I have your apple?”

“I gave her my deluxe I'll-Kill-You-Later stare.”

“But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword.”

“I told Tantalus to go chase a doughnut.”

“You weren't able to talk sense into him?"
Well, we kind of tried to kill each other in a duel to the death."
I see. You tried the diplomatic approach.”

“My brother broke into a toothy grin. "Yay! Your brain works!”

“It takes strength and courage to admit the truth.”

“Nothing like watching your relatives fight, I always say.”

“I turned to Dionysus. "You cured him?"
"Madness is my specialty. It was quite simple."
"But… you did something nice. Why?"
He raised and eyebrow. "I am nice! I simple ooze niceness, Perry Johansson. Haven't you noticed?”

“I'm Dylan. I'm so cool. I want to date myself, but I don't know how! You want to date me instead? You're so lucky!”

“Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment.”

“He was slumped over, blood trickling from the side of his mouth. I shook his furry hip, thinking, No! Even if you are half barnyard animal, you're my best friend and I don't want you to die!”

“Suspecting and knowing are not the same.”

“The sea does not like to be restrained.”

“You must forge your own path for it to mean anything.”

“Piper gripped his hand and followed him, “If I fall, you’re catching me.” “Uh, sure.” Jason hoped he wasn’t blushing.
Leo stepped out next. “You’re catching me, too, Superman. But I ain’t holding your hand.”

“Leo: "So… giants who can throw mountains. Friendly wolves that will eat us if we show weakness. Evil espresso drinks. Gotcha. Maybe this isn't the best time to bring up my psycho babysitter."
Piper: "Is that another joke?”

“It's useless to lecture a human.”

“I'm the Super-sized McShizzle, man!" Leo said. "I'm Leo Valdez, bad boy supreme. And the ladiesa bad boy.”

“Poison!" Grover yelped. "Don't let those things touch you or…"
"Or we'll die?" I guessed.
"Well… after you shrivel slowly to dust, yes."
"Let's avoid the swords," I decided.”

“Reyna sent me to get Percy," Frank said. "Did Octavian accept you?"
"Yeah," Percy said. "He slaughtered my panda.”

“Safety from what? Who's after me?"
Oh, nobody much," Grover said, obviously still miffed about the donkey comment. "Just the Lord of the Dead and a few of his blood-thirstiest minions.”

“We need music," Nico said. "How's your singing?"
"Um, no. Can't you just, like, tell it to open? You're the son of Hades and all."
"It's not so easy. We need music."
I was pretty sure if I tried to sing, all I would cause was an avalanche.”

“Erre es korakas, Blinky!" Dionysus cursed. "I will have your soul!”

“But magic is neither good nor evil. It is a tool, like a knife. Is a knife evil? Only if the wielder is evil.”

“Survive first. Figure out crayon drawing of destiny later.”

“Percy (to Annabeth): If I was going to pick one person in the world to reattach my head, I'd pick you.
Silena: Awww… Percy, that is so sweet!
Annabeth: Shut up, Silena.”

“Hazel squinted. "How far?"
"Just over the river and through the woods."
Percy raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? To Grandmother's house we go?"
Frank cleared his throat. "Yeah, anyway.”

“I had weird dreams full of barnyard animals. Most of them wanted to kill me. The rest wanted food.”
