| d8a5c7e | You mean I might end up like you one day?" I asked, alarmed at the thought of sounding so serious and stuffy. "You might," Mr Crepsley said, "though I would not bet on it. Seba commanded my utmost respect, so I tried hard to copy what he did. You, on the other hand, seem to be determined to do the opposite of everything I say." "I'm not that bad," I grinned, but there was some grain of truth in his words. I'd always been stubborn. I admir.. | Darren Shan | ||
| e0fc306 | I might have to drink the blood of animals to stay alive, but I would never feast on one of my own kind, no matter what Mr.Crepsley said, or hows much my belly growled. | Darren Shan | ||
| a24cb50 | Bianca di Angelo shivered. "That explains Nico, you remember last summer, those guys who tried to attack us in the alley in DC?" "And that bus driver," Nico said. "The one with the ram's horns. I *told* you that was real." | nico-diangelo nico-di-angelo | Rick Riordan | |
| 77c30db | I (Percy) set Nico on guard duty with Beckendorf and the Stoll brothers, figuring he'd be safely out of the way. ... "What's happening?" Nico demanded, trying to climb up next to me." | connor-stoll nico-diangelo percy-jackson nico-di-angelo | Rick Riordan | |

| a7ec410 | If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? | wisdom athena percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |

| a26a235 | We stepped back and looked at the king of the gods, slumped in his chair snoring, and cradling his crook like a teddy bear. I placed the war flail across his lap, hoping it might make a difference--maybe complete his powers or something. No such luck. "Sick weasels," Ra muttered. "Behold," Sadie said bitterly. "the glorious Ra." | sadie | Rick Riordan | |
| 0de8bd8 | How do you have five children in a row, each on a different say?" "They're gods," Carter said. "They can do stuff like that." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 6c5c052 | Percy pushed on his side furiously and the crack closed. His eyes blazed with anger. She hoped he wasn't mad at her, but if he was she couldn't blame him. If it keeps him going, she thought, then let him be angry. | Rick Riordan | ||
| f81ac58 | Everybody loves to show up at the party once all the hard work is done. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 0443213 | The most unreal thing about the bar was Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' blasting from the speakers. 'Dwarves like human music?' I asked Blitzen. 'You mean humans like our music.' 'But ...' I had a sudden image of Taylor Swift's mom and Freya having a girls' night out in Nidavellir. 'Never mind. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 31f6a44 | Note to self: If you're trying not to have kids, don't marry a lady who is the Titan of motherhood. | Rick Riordan | ||
| d96c226 | My son Asclepius had become the god of medicine by the time he was fifteen, and I couldn't have been happier for him. It left me time for my other interests. Besides, it's every god's dream to have a child who grows up to be a doctor. | parent-dreams | Rick Riordan | |
| 583e445 | YEAH, I KNOW. You guys are going to read about how I died in agony, and you're going be like, "Wow! That sounds cool, Magnus! Can I die in agony too?" No. Just no. Don't go jumping off any rooftops. Don't run into the highway or set yourself on fire. It doesn't work that way. You will not end up where I ended up." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 61dff03 | But I suppose if you're friends of Magnus's ..." He went completely still. His runes faded. Then he leaped out of my hand and flew towards Annabeth, his blade twitching as if he was stiffing the air. "Where is she? Where are you hiding the babe?" Annabeth backed towards the rail. "Whoa, there, sword. Personal space?" "Jack, behave," Alex said. "What are you doing?" "She's around here somewhere," Jack insisted. He flew to Percy. "Aha! What's.. | percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 14438c3 | I mentally began composing a list of words that began with F: Frey. Father. False. Friend. Frick. Frack. And some others. | Rick Riordan | ||
| dc2e395 | And now, Anubis, I find you in this den of iniquity, this morass of questionable behavior, this...this--' 'School? | Rick Riordan | ||
| 75239a8 | Oh, lord. I was beginning to think like Neith. Soon I'd be huddled in an underground bunker eating army rations and cackling as I sewed together the pockets of all the boys who'd jilted me. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 295d778 | Hermes rolled his eyes. "Surely you've seen network TV lately. It's clear they don't know whether they're coming or going. That's because Janus is in charge of programming. He loves ordering new shows and cancelling them after two episodes. God of beginnings and endings, after all. Anyway, I was bringing him some magic doormats, and I was double-parked-" "You have to worry about double-parking?" "Will you let me tell the story?" "Sorry." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 818541e | Annabeth didn't mean to, but she surged forward. Percy rushed toward her at the same time. The crowd tensed. Some reached for swords that weren't there. Percy threw his arms around her. They kissed, and for a moment nothing else mattered. An asteroid could have hit the planet and wiped out all life, and Annabeth wouldn't have cared. Percy smelled of ocean air. His lips were salty. Seaweed Brain, she thought giddily. Percy pulled away and st.. | Rick Riordan | ||
| ca5664b | You see that massive giantess blocking the river?" "Technically speaking," Jack said, "I can't see anything, because I don't have eyes. But yes, I see the giant." | Rick Riordan | ||
| f87f4b9 | Juno: "The heroes of olympus must unite! After your victory over kronos in manhattan...well I fear that wounded jupiter's self-esteem." | rick riordan | ||
| 18057d6 | I imagined having that bronzed dragon in our fight against the Titan lord Kronos. His monsters would think twice about attacking camp if they have to face that thing. On the other hand, if the dragon decided to go berserk again and attack the campers-that would pretty much stink. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 3bab5e0 | I was five steps away when he called, "Perseus." I turned. There was a different light in his eyes, a fiery kind of pride. "You did well, Perseus. Do not misunderstand me. Whatever else you do, know that you are mine. You are a true son of the Sea God." -- | Rick Riordan | ||
| 6ccf637 | I mean, I can understand not being as pricey as Percy or Jason, maybe... but am I worth, like, two Franks, or three Franks? | quote humorous-quotes leo-valdez | Rick Riordan | |
| cb0318b | Intelligence won wars, not brute force. | war | Rick Riordan | |
| 3edbc1a | His left eyebrow crept higher and higher as I told him the strange bits like the glowing letters and serpent staff. "Well, Sadie," Inspector Williams said. "You've got quite an imagination." "I'm not lying, Inspector. And I think your eyebrow is trying to escape." He tried to look at his own eyebrows, then scowled." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 5eb085b | Remembering is just an invention of the mind... It means that if you want to, you can remember anything, whether it happened or not... You don't need a time machine if you can remember. | Rodman Philbrick | ||
| a063ea0 | I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don't believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist. (Quoting feedback from a reader) | Tucker Max | ||
| 8419e86 | He can't really love anyone, you know, and in the end such people are always alone, no matter how much other people once loved them. | Elizabeth Kostova | ||

| 42d603b | Perhaps he's my curse. Perhaps I'm his weakness. Together we left the world in ruins. | Elizabeth May | ||
| 18dc1e3 | Janey was planning a short engagement, she'd simpered, and so, of course, the inevitable collection for the wedding present would soon follow. Of all the compulsory financial contributions, that is the one that irks me most. Two people wander around John Lewis picking out lovely items for themselves, and then they make other people pay for them. It's bare-faced effrontery. They choose things like plates, bowls and cutlery-I mean, what are t.. | Gail Honeyman | ||
| f1a76d8 | It's SpongeBob, Eleanor," he said, speaking very slowly and clearly as though I were some sort of idiot. "SpongeBob SquarePants?" A semi-human bath sponge with protruding front teeth! On sale as if it were something completely unremarkable! For my entire life, people have said that I'm strange, but really, when I see things like this, I realize that I'm actually relatively normal." | Gail Honeyman | ||
| 8371581 | I had no idea how to respond, and opted for a smile, which serves me well on most occasions (not if it's something to do with death or illness, though -- I know that now.) | funny humor eleanor-oliphant gail-honeyman smile | Gail Honeyman | |
| 66897eb | She had seemed to need something from him that he hadn't been able to give...at last he realized that what she had needed from him was need itself. That he should need her as she needed him. | Nicholas Evans | ||
| 4afcb49 | Sam doesn't hesitate for a minute. 'You say, "Mr and Mrs Tavish, you're making me feel inferior. Do you really think I'm inferior or is it just in my mind?" | sam | Sophie Kinsella | |
| e9a0149 | I always thought eating was a ridiculous activity anyway. I'd get out of it myself if I could, though you've got to do it to stay alive, they tell me. | humour | Margaret Atwood | |
| e06f24a | How easy it is, treachery. You just slide into it. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 0cff179 | I thought my heart was pure. We do like to have such good opinions of our own motives when we're about to do something harmful, to someone else. | revenge | Margaret Atwood | |
| 8f669c1 | We have begun to slam doors, and to throw things. I throw my purse, an ashtray, a package of chocolate chips, which breaks on impact. We are picking up chocolate chips for days. Jon throws a glass of milk, the milk, not the glass: he knows his own strength, as I do not. He throws a box of Cheerios, unopened. The things I throw miss, although they are worse things. The things he throws hit, but are harmless. I begin to see how the line is cr.. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| fa6b6e5 | at last you, will say (maybe without speaking) (there are mountains inside your skull garden and chaos, ocean and hurricane; certain corners of rooms, portraits of great-grandmothers, curtains of a particular shade; your deserts; your private dinosaurs; the first woman) all i need to know: tell me everything | margaret atwood | ||
| 04e5cb5 | I have really sinned. I am going to pause now, and sit here on the mound repenting in deepest shame... | drama | Dodie Smith |
