Rick Riordan Quote #1
- No todos los poderes son espectaculares. - Hestia me miró -. A veces el poder más difícil de dominar es la capacidad de ceder.
Rick Riordan Quote #2
- Percy, los seres inferiores hacen muchas cosas horribles en nombre de los dioses. Lo cual no significa que los dioses estén de acuerdo. Lo que nuestros hijos e hijas hacen en nuestro nombre.... suele decir más de ellos que de nosotros
Rick Riordan Quote #3
Love is on every side, Cupid said. And no one's side. Don't ask what Love can do for you.
Great, Jason said. Now he's spouting greeting card messages.Rick Riordan Quote #4
Poor Nico di Angelo. The god's voice was tinged with disappointment. Do you know what you want, much less what I want? My beloved Psyche risked everything in the name of Love. It was the only way for her to atone for her lack of faith. And you- what have you risked in my name?
I've been to Tartarus and back, Nico snarled. You don't scare me.
I scare you very, very much. Face me. Be honest.Rick Riordan Quote #5
Still hiding, Cupid said, smashing another skeleton to pieces. You do not have the strength.
Nico, Jason managed to say, it's okay. I get it.
Nico glanced over, pain and misery washing across his face.
No you don't, he said. There's no way you can understand.
And so you run away again, Cupid chided. From your friends, from yourself.Rick Riordan Quote #6
[Iris] squeezed his hand. Don't lose hope, Frank. Rainbows always stand for hope.
Rick Riordan Quote #7
[My mom's] funny that way, celebrating special occasions with blue food. I think it's her way of saying anything is possible. Percy can pass seventh grade. Waffles can be blue. Little miracles like that.
Rick Riordan Quote #8
[Percy] kept hoping things would get better for Annabeth and him, but their lives just got more dangerous, as if the Three Fates were up there spinning their futures with barbed wire instead of thread just to see how much two demigods could tolerate.
Rick Riordan Quote #9
[Piper] rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered—all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch.
Frank’s Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement. Hazel’s hair was all blown to one side as though she’d walked through a cyclone; and Leo had accidentally set himself on fire. His T-shirt was in charred tatters. His arms were smoking.Rick Riordan Quote #10
A big sacrifice is coming, and you won't have the courage to make it. That will cost you dearly. It will cost the world dearly.
Rick Riordan Quote #11
A demigod! one snarled.
Eat it! yelled another.
But that's as far as they got before I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters.
Back off! I yelled at the rest, trying to sound fierce. Behind them stood their instructor--a six-foot tall telekhine with Doberman fangs snarling at me. I did my best to stare him down.
New lesson, class, I announced. Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is completely normal, and will happen to you right now if you don't BACK OFF!
To my surprise, it worked. The monsters backed off, but there was at least twenty of them. My fear factor wasn't going to last that long.
I jumped out of the cart, yelled, CLASS DISMISSED! and ran for the exit.Rick Riordan Quote #12
A general never shows despair. He instills confidence in his troops. He leads them forward, even into the mouth of death.
Rick Riordan Quote #13
A half-blood of the eldest dogs...
Rick Riordan Quote #14
A steely look of anger flared in my mother’s eyes, and I thought, just maybe, I was leaving her in good hands after all. Her own.
Rick Riordan Quote #15
A telkhine was hunched over a console, but he was so involved with his work, he didn't notice us. He was about five feet tall, with slick black seal fur and stubby little feet. He had the head of a Doberman, but his clawed hands were almost human. He growled and muttered as he tapped on his keyboard. Maybe he was messaging his friends on uglyface.com.
Rick Riordan Quote #16
A Vampire! I stammered. Then I noticed her legs. Below the cheerleader skirt, her left leg was brown and shaggy with a donkey's hoof. Her right leg was shaped like a human leg was it was made of bronze. Uhh, a vampire with-
Don't mention the legs! Tammi snapped. It's rude to make fun.Rick Riordan Quote #17
A weapon, I told Horus. I need a weapon.
I reached into the Duat and pulled out an ostrich feather.
“Really?” I yelled.
Horus didn’t answerRick Riordan Quote #18
A wind that blows aimlessly is no good to anyone.
Rick Riordan Quote #19
About five meters ahead, Nico was swinging his black sword with one hand, holding the scepter of Diocletian aloft with the other. He kept shouting orders at the legionnaires, but they paid him no attention.
Of course not, Frank thought. He's Greek.
[...]
Jason's face was already beaded with sweat. He kept shouting in Latin: Form ranks! But the dead legionnaires wouldn't listen to him, either.
[...]
Make way! Frank shouted. To his surprise, the dead legionnaires parted for him. The closest ones turned and stared at him with blank eyes, as if waiting for further orders.
Oh, great... Frank mumbled.Rick Riordan Quote #20
According to Festus, our flying table, Buford, made it back safely while we were in Charleston, so those eagles didn't get him. Unfortunately, he lost the laundry bag with your pants.
Dang it! Frank Barked, which Leo figured was probably severe profanity for him.
No doubt Frank would've cursed some more -busting out the golly gees and the gosh darns- but Percy interrupted by doubling over and groaning.
Did the world just turn upside down? he asked.
Jason pressed his hands to his head. Yeah, and it's spinning. Everything is yellow. Is it supposed to be yellow?Rick Riordan Quote #21
After his experience with Minos, Nico realized that most spectres held only as much power as you allowed them to have. They pried into your mind, using fear or anger or longing to influence you. Nico had learned to shield himself. Sometimes he could even turn the tables and bend ghosts to his will.
Rick Riordan Quote #22
After the satyrs filed in to dinner, the Hermes cabin brought up the rear. They were always the biggest cabin. Last summer it had been led by Luke, the guy who fought with Thalia and Annabeth on top of Half-Blood Hill. For a while, before Poseidon had claimed me, I'd lodged in the Hermes cabin. Luke had befriended me...and then he'd tried to kill me.
Rick Riordan Quote #23
Afterward, I had the last laugh. I made an air bubble at the bottom of the lake. Our friends kept waiting for us to come up, but hey-when you are the son of Poseidon, you don't have to hurry. And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.
Rick Riordan Quote #24
Ah, Senor Zhang, Leo said, you know how you're always saying, 'Leo, you are the only true genius among demigods'?
I'm pretty sure I never said that.Rick Riordan Quote #25
All aboard for one last trip.
Rick Riordan Quote #26
All right,’ Nico relented. ‘Maybe a little …’ He managed to take off his aviator jacket and wad it into a pillow before he keeled over and began to snore.
Rick Riordan Quote #27
Almost everything strange washes up near Miami.
Rick Riordan Quote #28
Also … the plan sounded exactly like the sneaky, twisted, ridiculously annoying and noble sort of thing Leo Valdez would do.
Rick Riordan Quote #29
Always happens with men. They promise friendship. They promise to treat you as an equal. In the end, all they want is to possess you.
Rick Riordan Quote #30
Amy, Dan, and Nellie were sitting at a table in a conference room, examining reproductions of Franklin documents-some so rare, the librarians told her, the only copies existed in Paris.
Yeah, here's a rare grocery list, Dan muttered. Wow.
