I like to have a simple workplace.
Rick Riordan
I missed him so much I would sometimes turn to tell him something before I forgot he was gone. In spite of all that, and all the emotion boiling around inside me, all I could think of to say was: “You’re blue.

Rick Riordan
Grand buildings made her feel better--maybe because being in a place so permanent made her feel more permanent.
Rick Riordan
True, you're the weakest of us all, but you're still one of the five, and there is power in collecting the complete set. He paused, then grinned. The complete Set! That's funny! Now let's consume your energy and entomb your soul, shall we?
Rick Riordan
Maybe, standing next to the obelisk of Ma’at, surrounded by the Sea of Chaos, we both realized that restraining ourselves from vengeance is what made us different from Apophis. Rules had their place. They kept us from unraveling.
Rick Riordan
Hey, guys! Grover yelled somewhere above us. I think she's unconscious! Roooaaarrr! Maybe not, Grover corrected.
Rick Riordan
Why do you need to gallop while you fly? Why do humans have to sway their arms while they walk? I dunno boss, but it just feels right.
Rick Riordan
I was five steps away when he called, Perseus. I turned. There was a different light in his eyes, a fiery kind of pride. You did well, Perseus. Do not misunderstand me. Whatever else you do, know that you are mine. You are a true son of the Sea God.
Rick Riordan
Most of Set’s forces were running towards our boat, screaming and throwing rocks (which tended to fall down and hit them, but no one says demons are bright).
Rick Riordan
Cool Leo said. I always wanted a sister who could beat me up.
Rick Riordan
Frank Zhang! I, Jason Grace, praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata, give you my final order: I resign my post and give you emergency field promotion to praetor, with the full powers of that rank. Take command of this legion!
Rick Riordan
Marvelous,” she said. “Tell me about this tapestry.” Arachne’s lips curled over her mandibles. “Why do you care? You're about to die.” “Well, yes,” Annabeth said. “But the way you captured the light is amazing. Did you use real gold thread for the sunbeams?
