I love teaching. I love working with kids... maybe some day I'll go back to the classroom. I'm not ready to say it'll never happen.

All [Sadie’s] previous attempts [of making a shabti (an Egyptian avatar of one’s self)] had exploded or gone haywire, terrorizing Khufu and the initiates. Last week she’d created a magical Thermos with googly eyes that levitated around the room, yelling, “Exterminate! Exterminate!” until it smacked me in the head.

Sometimes, it takes us a while to appreciate something new, something that might change us for the better.

Poseidon raised his eyebrows as they shook hands. “Blowfish, did you say?” Ah, no. Blofis, actually.” Oh, I see,” Poseidon said. “A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon.” Poseidon? That’s an interesting name.” Yes, I like it. I’ve gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon.” Like the god of the sea.” Very much like that, yes.

I'll let you and Zia have some quality time, she told me. Just the two of you and your coat.

Rachel: They asked me a lot of questions about you. I played dumb. Annabeth: Was it hard?

Lookin up at the huge baboons, I wondered if Khufu had some sort of secret baboon code that would get us in. But instead he barked at the statues and cowered heroically behind my legs.

Percy was getting tired of water. If he said that aloud, he would probably get kicked out of Poseidon’s Junior Sea Scouts, but he didn’t care.

Just for you non-sea-god types out there, don't go swimming in New York Harbor. It may not be as filthy as it was in my mom's day, but that water will still probably make you grow a third eye or have mutant children when you grow up.

Stacy Schiff is that rare combination: a first-rate historian and a brilliant storyteller. Using a wide range of sources, she spins straw into gold, conjuring the world of Ptolemaic Egypt in full vibrant color, and returning the voice of one of the most powerful, fascinating, and maligned women in history. Cleopatra is impossible to put down.

trantulus casually roasted a marshmallow and reached out for it but the marshmallow commited sucide and dived into the flames.

Caesar broke the law when he crossed the Rubicon, Frank said. Great leaders have to think out side the box sometimes.
Rick Riordan

No, Frank said. I'm only a centurion. Jason cursed in Latin. He means he can't control a whole legion. He's not of high enough rank. Nico swung back his black sword at another gryphon. Well, then, promote him!

I looked into his eyes, and I realized he was the same man I'd seen in my dreams. His face might be totally different, but the same soul was in there, the same intelligence and all the sadness.

I love Greek Mythology, wish there was a TV series, like being human or smallville, but with the series based around Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Holla Mayne!

Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing.

Once I got over the fact that my Latin teacher was a horse, we had a nice tour, though I was careful not to walk behind him. I'd done pooper-scooper patrol in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a few times, and, I'm sorry, I did not trust Chiron's back the the way I trusted his front.

Freak is easily spooked. Flesh-eating monsters tend to scare him away. So do fireworks, clowns, and the smell of Sadie's weird British Ribena drink. (Can't blame him on that last one. Sadie grew up in London and developed some pretty strange tastes.
