More quotes by Rick Riordan
Things will work out - maybe just not the way you plan
Rick Riordan
Normally my sister, Sadie, or some of our other initiates from Brooklyn House would've come with me. But they were all at the First Nome, in Egypt, for a weeklong training session on controlling cheese demons(yes, they're a real thing believe me, you don't want to know)
Rick Riordan
It isn’t easy being a brilliant inventor, always alone. Always misunderstood. Easy to turn bitter, make horrible mistakes. People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can’t be fixed. -Hephaestus
Rick Riordan
I left him in his wheelchair, staring sadly into the fireplace. I wondered how many times he’d sat here, waiting for heroes that never came back.
Rick Riordan
I see murky visions of other gods and rival magic. That REALLY didn't sound good. What do you mean? I asked. what OTHER GODS? I don't know, Sadie. But Egypt has always faced challenges from outside –– magicians from elsewhere, even gods from elsewhere. Just be vigilant. ~Ruby & Sadie Kane about...? Possibly Greeks?

Rick Riordan
I've found peace here at the co-op. You could stay with us, if you want. Become a ROFLcopter.
Rick Riordan
That was Hera. Her Majesty, the Loose Cannon.
Rick Riordan
Do not despair. Heroes rarely live up to to our expectations
Rick Riordan
Well, I hope you like it here, Leo. It used to be .......really nice.
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
Mrs. O' Leary is my pet. I couldn't let you stick a sword in her rump, now, could I? That might've scared her.
Rick Riordan
Sometimes she teased me that she’d eventually catch up to me in age and be my older sibling. Looking at her now, with that determined glint in her eyes and the confidence in her voice, I could almost believe her
Rick Riordan
Your head is full of kelp.
Rick Riordan
Percy was getting tired of water. If he said that aloud, he would probably get kicked out of Poseidon’s Junior Sea Scouts, but he didn’t care.
Rick Riordan
Why do you need to gallop while you fly? Why do humans have to sway their arms while they walk? I dunno boss, but it just feels right.
Rick Riordan
I didn’t know baboons could drive recreational vehicles, but Khufu did okay. When I woke up around dawn, he was navigating through the early morning rush hour in Houston, baring his fangs and barking a lot, and none of the other drivers seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary.
Rick Riordan
No, Frank said. I'm only a centurion. Jason cursed in Latin. He means he can't control a whole legion. He's not of high enough rank. Nico swung back his black sword at another gryphon. Well, then, promote him!
Rick Riordan
My name is Percy Jackson. I'm twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York. Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that.
Rick Riordan
I have some extra costumes- No! Ephialtes snapped, and for once Percy was in agreement.
