More quotes by Rick Riordan
It'll be dangerous, Nyssa warned him. Hardship, monsters, terrible suffering. Possibly none of you will come back alive. Oh. Suddenly Leo didn't look so excited. Then he remembered everyone was watching. I mean... Oh, cool! Suffering? I love suffering! Let's do this.

Cacus.” I’d had years of practice looking dumb when people threw out Greek names I didn’t know. It’s a skill of mine. Annabeth keeps telling me to read a book of Greek myths, but I don’t see the need. It’s easier just to have folks explain stuff.

Teach you to try marrying me, you idiot!
Rick Riordan
We'd spent maybe ten minutes together, during which time I'd accidentally swung a sword at her, she'd saved my life, and I'd run away chased by a band of supernatural killing machines. You know, your typical chance meeting.
Rick Riordan
Earthshaker, Stormbreaker, Father of Horses. Hail, Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea God
Rick Riordan
Jumping out a window five hundred feet above ground is not usually my idea of fun. Especially when I'm wearing bronze wings and flapping my arms like a duck.
Rick Riordan
I have more ideas than I'll ever be able to write in five lifetimes.

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
Hercules used noise! Brass bells! He scared them away with the most horrible sound he could- said Percy Percy... Chiron's collection!

A hero can go anywhere, challenge anyone, as long as he has the nerve.

They're not so bad. They just need some attention. ...Like pets. Or my brother.
Rick Riordan
So, Annabeth said, are you going to argue about me coming along? Nah. You'd just beat me up. Percy said. She managed a laugh, which was good to hear

[Iris] squeezed his hand. Don't lose hope, Frank. Rainbows always stand for hope.
