It’s hard to look in charge when you’re hunched over like Quasimodo.
Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan
Percy!” he bellowed. He dropped his broom and ran at me. If you’ve never been charged by an enthusiastic Cyclops wearing a flowered apron and rubber cleaning gloves, I’m telling you, it’ll wake you up quick.
Rick Riordan
You know what would help this boy? Demeter mused. Farming. Persephone rolled her eyes. Mother- Six months behind a plow. Excellent character building.
Rick Riordan
So, yeah. Our cat was a goddess. What else is new?
Rick Riordan
I'm not usually an eavesdropper,but i dare you to try not listening if you hear your best friend talking about you to an adult.
Rick Riordan
If I were a flowerpot, I would've checked my hair. ~Carter Kane
Rick Riordan
Once he'd even reprogrammed the electronic billboards in Time Square to read: ALL DA LADIES LUV LEO... accidentally, of course.
Rick Riordan
I gave her my deluxe I'll-Kill-You-Later stare.
Rick Riordan
And togheter, holding hands, he and Annabeth fell into the endless darkness
Rick Riordan
It is true that I once refused to eat haggis in Scotland and this did not sit well with the local population.
Rick Riordan
Don't stay in one place too long. It was the only way to stay ahead of the sadness.
