Eating next to a twenty-foot-long crocodile took some getting used to, but Philip was well trained. He only ate bacon, stray waterfowl, and the occasional invading monster.

More quotes by Rick Riordan
Just curious how much I'm going for these days, Leo said. I mean, I can understand not being as pricey as Percy or Jason, maybe...but am I worth, like, two Franks, or three Franks?
Rick Riordan
That sounded about as likely as Apophis and Ra becoming Facebook buddies, but I decided not to say anything.
Rick Riordan
I think every writer struggles in some way with writers block. The trick is to plan out what you are going to say beforehand. I found out that if you make an outline you're much less likely to get blocked when you get into the middle of the story.
Rick Riordan
Grover and Nico came back from their walk, and Grover helped me fix up my wounded arm. It's green! Nico said with delight.
Rick Riordan
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.

She pulled away. “I missed you, Percy.” Percy wanted to tell her the same thing, but it seemed too small a comment. While he had been on the Roman side, he’d kept himself alive almost solely by thinking of Annabeth. I missed you didn’t really cover that.
Rick Riordan
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.
Rick Riordan
You’re probably thinking: Wait, you just charged in without a plan? But Annabeth and I had been fighting together for years. We knew each other’s abilities. We could anticipate each other’s moves. I might have felt awkward and nervous about being her boyfriend, but fighting with her? That came naturally. Hmm…that sounded wrong. Oh, well.

back from when they watched black and white TV and hunted dinosaurs.

Tell the sun and stars hello for me.
Rick Riordan
I can’t believe Sadie’s going to let me have the last word. Our experience together must’ve really taught her something. Ow, she just hit me. Never mind.
Rick Riordan
Lots of death, huh? Personally, I'm trying to avoid lots of death, but you guys have fun!
Rick Riordan
He [Percy] pleaded with those sea-green eyes, like a cute baby seal that needed help. Piper wondered how Annabeth ever won an argument with this guy.
Rick Riordan
You mix Greek and Roman, you know what you get? You get BAM!
Rick Riordan
What’s the point of being a magician if you can’t wave your wand and make the people you care about feel better?
Rick Riordan
Powdered donuts, Tyson said earnestly. I will look for powdered donuts in the wilderness. He headed outside and started calling, Here, donuts!

For an absurd moment, I wondered if Ammit devoured the hearts of wicked cows, and if he liked the beefy taste. - Carter Kane

I pulled out Riptide.

I prefer to be the noisiest thing in my environment thank you very much.
Rick Riordan
The Minotaur unstrapped his axe and swung it around. It was beautiful in a harsh I’m~going~togut~you~like~a~fish kind of way. Each of its twin blades was shaped like an omega: Ω—the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Maybe that was because the axe would be the last thing his victims ever saw
