Quote from Rick Riordan, The Red Pyramid

Unless you stop him. Perhaps next we meet.””You’ll be just as annoying?” I guessed.He fixed my with those warm brown eyes. “Or perhaps you could bring me up to speed on those modern courtship rituals.”I sat there stunned until he gave me a glimpse of a smile-just enough to let me know he was teasing. Then he disappeared.”Oh, very funny!” I yelled.

Quote from Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief

Grover wore his fake feet and his pants to pass as human. He wore a green rasta-style cap, because when it rained his curly hair flattened and you could just see the tips of his horns. His bright orange backpack was full of scrap metal and apples to snack on. In his pocket was a set of reed pipes his daddy goat had carved for him, even though he only knew two songs: Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 12 and Hilary Duff’s “So Yesterday,” both of which sounded pretty bad on reed pipes.

Quote from Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune

Otrera stayed dead the second time,” Kinzie said, batting her eyes. “We have to thank you for that. If you ever need a new girlfriend…well, I think you’d look great in an iron collar and an orange jumpsuit.”Percy couldn’t tell if she was kidding or not. He politely thanked her and changed seats.

Quote from Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

They send a person who can never stay,” she whispered. “Who can never accept my offer of companionship for more than a little while. They send me a hero I can’t help … just the sort of person I can’t help falling in love with.”…As I sailed into the lake I realized the Fates really were cruel. They sent Calypso someone she couldn’t help but love. But it worked both ways. For the rest of my life I would be thinking about her. She would always be my biggest what if.

Quote from Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her…long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite’s cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone’s heart. Piper had long ago decided to change that rule. Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone`s heart whole; that was a much better test.
