More quotes by Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan
He had no idea where the stereotype of dumb giggly blondes came from. Ever since he'd met Annabeth at the Grand Canyon last winter,when she'd marched toward him with that Give me Percy Jackson or I’ll kill you expression, Leo had thought of blondes as much too smart and much too dangerous.
Rick Riordan
Luke gazed at Annabeth. You knew. I almost killed you, but you knew . . . Shhh. Her voice trembled. You were a hero at the end, Luke.
Rick Riordan
That’s right, Sadie. For our first real date, I picked up Zia in a boat pulled by a deranged griffin. So what? Like your dates aren’t weird?
Rick Riordan
I hoped I wasn't blushing. It was bad enough I had to depend on my mom to drive me to my battles.
Rick Riordan
We'de have to get in and get out the hard way and if we made a mistake, there was no telling what sort of curse we'de unleash: monster guardians, plagues, fires, exploding donkeys(don't laugh they're bad news).

I thought she'd make some comment about the bloodthirsty gods chasing us, but when she finally found her voice, she said, That boy kissed you! Leave it to Liz to have her priorities straight.

Rick Riordan
I know, I'm an idiot! Leo moaned. A brilliant idiot, but still an idiot.
Rick Riordan
