| b74141e | I caught Bast's arm when she was a few steps from the bank. "Stay away from the water." She frowned. "Carter, I'm a cat. I'm not going for a swim. But if you want to summon a river goddess, you really need to do it at the riverbank." | Rick Riordan | ||
| c31e3eb | Zoe--" I said. "Stars," she whispered. "I can see the stars again, my lady." A tear trickled down Artemis's cheek. "Yes, my brave one. They are beautiful tonight." "Stars," Zoe repeated. Her eyes fixed on the night sky. And she did not move again. Thalia lowered her head. Annabeth gulped down a sob, and her father put his hands on her shoulders. I watched as Artemis cupped her hand above Zoe's mouth and spoke a few words in Ancient Greek. A.. | inspirational sadness | Rick Riordan The Titan's Curse | |
| 2c9760a | Is Tyson okay?' I asked. The question seemed to take my dad by surprise. 'He's fine. Doing much better than I expected. Though 'peanut butter' is a strange battle cry. | peanut-butter percy posidon tyson | Rick Riordan | |

| 940eb1d | As for Sadie, she didn't appear interested in strategy. She leaped from puddle to puddle in her combat boots. She hummed to herself, twirled like a little kid and occasionally pulled random things out of her backpack: wax animal figurines, some string, a piece of chalk, a bright yellow bag of candy. She reminded me of someone ... Then it occurred to me. She looked like a younger version of Annabeth, but her fidgeting and hyperness reminded .. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 8be88c9 | Thalia had gotten herself turned into a pine tree when she was twelve. Me ... Well, I was doing my best not to follow her example. I had nightmares about what Poseidon might turn me into if I were ever on the verge of death--plankton, maybe. Or a floating patch of kelp. | thalia-grace | Rick Riordan | |
| 8e3f8d9 | There's nothing here," Carter said. "What do you want?" I asked. "We've got wax, some toilet papyrus, an ugly statue." | Rick Riordan | ||

| 82d79c0 | I'll be back with the sandwiches," she said. "But I had some leftover seven-layer dip." "Yum." Percy dug in with a tortilla chip. "She's kinda famous for this, guys." Sally ruffled his hair. "There's guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, salsa--" "Seven layers?" I looked up in wonder. "You knew seven is my sacred number? You invented this for me?" Sally wiped her hands on her apron. "Well, actually, I can't take credit--" "You are too modes.. | percy-jackson sally-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 95608bf | Ever since my famous battle with Python, I've had a phobia of scaly reptilian creatures. (Especially if you include my stepmother, Hera. BOOM!) | burn funny hera roast | Rick Riordan | |
| b27cc2b | You ever notice how long it takes for things to happen when you know they're supposed to happen? My fake Walkman has a built-in alarm, and I set it for two in the morning and wear the headphones to bed, but before you can wake up you have to fall asleep, and I never DO fall asleep because I keep waiting for the alarm to go off. | Rodman Philbrick | ||
| c887ae5 | I got you a present." "Did you?" "It's a book of poetry--romancy stuff. I thought, 'How schmaltzy is that,' so it seemed like the thing. Then I screwed up and left it in my desk at work" | present roarke | J.D. Robb | |

| 870da72 | At some point almost everyone makes a choice. Some of us don't even notice it happening, most don't get to plan it in advance, but there's always a moment when we take one path instead of another, which has consequences for the rest of our lives. It determines the people we will become, in other people's eyes as well as our own. Elizabeth Zackell may have been right when she said that anyone who feels responsibility isn't free. Because resp.. | Fredrik Backman | ||
| 741d8a0 | But, by careful observation from the sidelines, I'd worked out that social success is often built on pretending just a little. Popular people sometimes have to laugh at things they don't find very funny, do things they don't particularly want to, with people whose company they don't particularly enjoy. Not me. I had decided, years ago, that if the choice was between that or flying solo, then I'd fly solo. It was safer that way. | Gail Honeyman | ||

| 3b0d9eb | These things you did were like prayers; you did them and you hoped they would save you. And for the most part they did. Or something did; you could tell by the fact that you were still alive. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 9bb9e53 | I could see how you could do extreme things for the person you loved. Adam One said that when you loved a person, that love might not always get returned the way you wanted, but it was a good thing anyway because love went out all around you like an energy wave, and a creature you didn't know would be helped by it. | Margaret Atwood | ||

| 862815a | Where to start is the problem, because nothing begins when it begins and nothing's over when it's over, and everything needs a preface: a preface, a postscript, a chart of simultaneous events. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 3059815 | A father may have a child who is ugly and lacking in all the graces, and the love he feels for him puts a blindfold over his eyes so that he does not see his defects but considers them signs of charm and intelligence and recounts them to his friends as if they were clever and witty. | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||

| 2949f3e | The way she curls in my arms makes me feel like I'm the hero. I like being her hero. I like the way her eyes shine at me, the way her body melts when I touch her, her soft lips on mine. I love her warmth and every curve. I love her. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 7fdddfc | I'm buying you a coat." And I meant it. I opened the car door and slung my lether jacket around her shoulders. "It's February. Why don't you ever have a damn jacket on?" Echo slid her arms through my coat, closing her eyes as she inhaled. When she finally opened them, she fluttered her eyelashes, giving me a look of pure seduction. "Maybe I like wearing yours instead." I swallowed. I had plans, and those plans did not involve kissing her .. | Katie McGarry | ||

| 3a78ca4 | I love words," Mat said. "There are some deliciously pretty words out there. 'Smile.' That's always sounded like a pretty word to me. Don't you think? Or, perhaps, the words 'I promise not to kill Egwene right now for trying to touch me, the Empress, may I live forever, because we really bloody need her for the next couple of weeks or so.'" He eyeed Fortuona pointedly." | Robert Jordan | ||

| f306660 | We are not asked to SEE," said Amy. "Why need we when we KNOW?" We know--not the answer to the inevitable Why, but the incontestable fact that it is for the best. "It is an irreparable loss, but is it faith at all if it is 'hard to trust' when things are entirely bewildering?" | faith | Elisabeth Elliot | |
| d6b1e0a | Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him, why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention? If, when the time has come for a commitment, he is not man enough to ask her to marry him, she should give him no reason to presume that she belongs to him. | Elisabeth Elliot | ||
| 153b669 | I had gone to graduate school because I loved literature, but in graduate school you were not supposed to study literature. You were supposed to study criticism.
