| b52e383 | A hundred years from now, people will look back on us and laugh. They'll say, 'You know what people used to believe? They believed in photons and electrons. Can you imagine anything so silly?' They'll have a good laugh, because by then there will be newer better fantasies... And meanwhile, you feel the way the boat moves? That's the sea. That's real. You smell the salt in the air? You feel the sunlight on your skin? That's all real. Life is.. | science | Michael Crichton | |
| 49d1c88 | Whatever it is you seek, you have to put in the time, the practice, the effort. You must give up a lot to get it. It has to be very important to you. And once you have attained it, it is your power. It can't be given away : it resides in you. It is literally the result of your discipline. | jurassic-park | Michael Crichton | |
| ace3411 | I don't know how long I kept at it... I felt reasonably safe, streched out on the floor, and lay quite still. It didn't seem to be summer any more | floor safe still summer sylvia-plath | Sylvia Plath | |

| c98d0c4 | So far I've seen the life studies packet used as (1) an umbrella, (2) a makeshift towel, (3) a pillow, and now this. I have never actually seen anyone study with it, which either means that everyone who graduates from Thomas Jefferson will be totally unprepared for life or that certain things can't be learned in bullet-point format. | Lauren Oliver | ||
| 4492263 | To a born-again atheist like myself, it is clear that each of us has multiple selves, talents, perceptions. But to the Roman Catholic, unity is all. | atheist born-again religion | Gore Vidal | |
| 1650d18 | And they heard the roaring thunder of a third brilliantly lighted express. "Are they pursuing the first travelers?" demanded the little prince. "They are pursuing nothing at all," said the switchman. "They are asleep in there, or if they are not asleep they are yawning. Only the children are flattening their noses against the windowpanes." "Only the children know what they are looking for," said the little prince. "They waste their time ove.. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| 906180f | I let out the breath I hadn't realized I was holding. "Guess what?" "What?" Meeting his amber-colored eyes, I admitted what probably wasn't a secret, but what I felt like I needed to put into words. "I like you, Seth." He stopped his hand over mine, staying there, as he gave me a lopsided smile. "Guess what?" "What?" I whispered. Seth shifted so that his lips brushed mine as he spoke. "I like you too, Josie." | seth-diodoros the-return | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |

| 1473ac5 | A second later, there was a knock on my door and a booming voice. 'Alexandria?' Seth stilled above me, panting. 'You have got to be freaking kidding me.' Leon knocked again. [...] 'Lucian is requesting your presence immediately.' Another gap of silence followed. 'He is also requesting to see you, Seth.' Seth frowned as the gleam in his eyes faded. 'How in the world does he know I'm in here?' 'Leon...just knows.' I pushed at him weakly. 'Get.. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| 46c8760 | Beckendorf closed eyes tight and brought his hand up to his watch. from that distance, the explosion shook the world. Heat seared the back of my head. The Princess Andromeda blew up from both sides, a massive fireball of green flame roiling into the dark sky, consuming everything....I stared out the window into deep blue water. Beckendorf was supposed to go to college in the fall. He had a girlfriend, lots of friends, his whole life ahead o.. | percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| b5598bb | After all the dangerous adventures I'd had, I couldn't die like this. Sadie would be devastated. Then, once she got over her grief, she'd track down my soul in the Egyptian afterlife and tease me mercilessly for how stupid I'd been. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 10f3d58 | My girlfriend: sophomore honors student, demigod, and--oh, yeah--head architect for redesigning the palace of the gods on Mount Olympus in her spare time. | Rick Riordan | ||
| c48614d | June smiled. "So what will it be? Safety, or a future of pain and possibility?" | Rick Riordan | ||
| b620ad4 | More minions!" he shouted. "Come to me!" That couldn't be good. Another round of giant crocs and we'd be dead. Why don't we get minions? I complained to Horus, but he didn't answer." | Rick Riordan | ||
| dea53db | He just summoned the dead with coke and cheeseburgers | nico percy-jackson-and-the-olympians | Rick Riordan | |
| d5b1533 | Ridiculous!" Chrysaor's voice turned shrill. He didn't seem sure where to level his sword-at Percy or his own crew. "Save yourselves!" Percy warned. "It is too late for us!" Then he gasped and pointed to the spot where Frank was hiding. "Oh, no! Frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!" Nothing happened. "I said," Percy repeated, "Frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!"

| 8cfb1f2 | Mr. D," Grover asked timidly, "if you're not going to eat it, could I have your Diet Coke can?" | Rick Riordan | ||
| c520c5c | Some pain shouldn't be wished away so easily. It had to be dealt with, even embraced.

| a4d81fc | Suddenly his expression turned to alarm. He sprinted toward us. For a moment I had an absurd vision of myself on the cover of one of Gran's old romance novels, where the damsel wilts into the arms of one half-dressed beefy guy while another stands by,casting her longing looks. Oh, the horrible choices a girl must make! I wished I'd had a moment to clean up. I was still covered in dried river muck, twine, and grass, like I'd been tarred and .. | Rick Riordan | ||

| 0ef3412 | The last I saw of Percy and Annabeth, their Prius was turning the corner on First Avenue, Percy singing along with Led Zeppelin on the radio, Annabeth laughing at his bad voice. Alex crossed his arms. "If those two were any cuter together, they'd cause a nuclear explosion of cuteness and destroy the Eastern Seaboard." | magnus-chase percabeth | Rick Riordan | |
| 56ccac6 | Piper went a little crazy. She cried out with relief and dove straight into the water. What was she thinking? She didn't take a rope or a life vest or anything. But at the moment, she was just so happy that she paddled over to Leo and kissed him on the cheek, which kind of surprised him. "Miss me?" Leo laughed. Piper was suddenly furious. "Where were you? How are you guys alive?" "Long story," he said. A picnic basket bobbed to the surface.. | romance romantic | Rick Riordan | |
| f89cd0e | Nico knelt and picked it up. He regarded Jason, as if waiting for an attack. "If the others found out-" "If the others found out," Jason said, "you'd have that many more people to back you up, and to unleash the fury of the gods on anybody who gives you trouble." | house-of-hades jason-grace nico-diangelo | Rick Riordan | |
| d597606 | Maybe that's why he had started to fear suffocation. It wasn't so much drowning in the earth or sea but the feeling that he was sinking into too many expectations, literally getting in over his head. Wow...when he started having thoughts like that, he knew he'd been spending too much time with Annabeth. | expectations percy-jackson suffocation | Rick Riordan | |
| b8319fc | Sacred Sibyl!" I cried. "Madam, there is something wrong with your midsection!" The woman stopped, mystified, and looked down at her hugely swollen belly. "Well, I'm seven months pregnant." | pergnancy sally-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 5c82a4c | Hang on," Sadie said. She stomped right up to the throne. Ammit growled at her, but Sadie growled back, which confused the monster into silence. "What are you?" she demanded. "My dad? Osiris? Are you even alive?" Dad looked at Anubis. "What did I tell you about her? Fiercer than Ammit, I said." "You didn't need to tell me." Anubis's face was grave."I've learned to fear that sharp tongue." Sadie looked outraged. "excuse me?" | humor osiris sadie | Rick Riordan |
