Quote

The horse seemed to bend time and space as he ran, blurring the landscape and making Frank feel like he'd just drunk a gallon of whole milk without his lactose-intolerance medicine: Seven hundred and fifty miles per hour. Eight hundred. Eight hundred and three. Fast. very Fast.

I named my camel Katrina. She was a natural disaster. She slobbered everywhere and seemed to think the purple streak in my hair was some kind of exotic fruit. She was obsessed with trying to eat my head. I named Walt's camel Hindenburg. He was almost as large as a zeppelin and definitely as full of gas.

[Percy] kept hoping things would get better for Annabeth and him, but their lives just got more dangerous, as if the Three Fates were up there spinning their futures with barbed wire instead of thread just to see how much two demigods could tolerate.

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.

Leo. Jason said, you're wierd. Yeah, you tell me that a lot. Leo grinned. But if you don't remember me, that means I can reuse all my old jokes. Come on!

My dear children! Nellie whopped him upside the head with her backpack. Ow! Uncle Alistair curled over, cupping his hand over his good eye. Nellie! Amy said. Sorry, Nellie muttered. I thought he was one of the bad guys.

Don't die on me, she ordered. You are not dying on me. Yes, ma'am. He felt light-headed, but she was about the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. Her hair was smoldering. Her face was smudged with soot. She had a cut on her arm, her dress was torn, and she was missing a boot. Beautiful.

Percy, lesser beings do many horrible things in the name of the gods. That does not mean we gods approve. The way our sons and daughters act in our names... well, it usually says more about THEM than it does about us.

Chaos is impatient. It's random. And above all it's selfish. It tears down everything just for the sake of change, feeding on itself in constant hunger. But Chaos can also be appealing. It tempts you to believe that nothing matters except what you want.

I'm so glad you're here, Aphrodite said. War is coming. Bloodshed is inevitable. So there's really only one thing to do. Uh... and that is? Annabeth ventured. Why, have tea and chat, obviously

Hazel frowned. Why that one? You don't see the ghost? Frank asked. Ghost? Nico asked. Okay... if Frank was seeing a ghost that the Underworld kids couldn't see, something was definitely wrong.

Race you to the road? I said. You are so going to lose. She (Annabeth) took off down Half-Blood Hill and I sprinted after her. For once, I didn't look back.
