“I’m a cat. I respect the sanctity of sleep.”

“Thank Artemis, it is you! That little scar on your lip--you tried to eat a stapler when you were two!"
…
Hedge nodded like he approved of Jason's taste. "Staplers--excellent source of iron.”

“Whasthat!"
"Um… those are the toilets.”

“But not like this: not with
the house just an afterimage, and my mom a spirit, and my dad… recycled.”

“Monsters are eternal,” she told him, trying to keep herself from sobbing. “We will remember you and Damasen as heroes, as the best Titan and the best giant. We'll tell our children. We'll keep the story alive. Someday, you will regenerate.”

“Honestly, I thought I was going to be a kite forever, suffocating inside a little feathery prison. And he had the nerve to make fun!”

“I still don't get it" Coach Hedge muttered as they roamed the centre aisle. "They named a whole town after Leo's table?"
"I think the town was here first, Coach" Nico said.”

“Get up seaweed brain”

“The Olympians were a reminder that there was always someone better than you, so you shouldn't get a big head.”

“If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff?”

"What's happening?" Nico demanded, trying to climb up next to me.”

“Personally, I could do without prophecies or quests for awhile.”

“I can try to disable it," I said, "but if I mess up, this whole apartment is going to fill with gas. We'll die."

Thalia swallowed. " I trust you. Just… don't mess it up.”

“No one is like me," Sadie agreed. "My amazingness is unique.”

“Maybe the lesson is: Know when to brag and when to keep your mouth shut. Or: Sometimes life isn’t fair, even if you are as gifted as Athena. Or maybe: Don’t give away free tapestries.”

“He was proud of his "hometown" goddess, even if he hadn't found his one true pairing (OTP) yet.”

“Who's possessing who now, Casper?”

“Burrito fight!”

“I mean, I can understand not being as pricey as Percy or Jason, maybe… but am I worth, like, two Franks, or three Franks?”

“Why does it have to be so hard? Why can't it be a happily-ever-after ride-into-the-sunset feeling all the time?”

“I'm coming back for you Calypso," he said to the night wind. "I swear on the river Styx.”

“Jason hated being old.”

“Otis barreled towards them empty-handed, before apparently realizing that a) he was empty-handed and b) charging towards a large body of water to fight a son of Poseidon was maybe not a good idea.”

“Frank: "I wish I was ADHD or dyslexic. All I got is lactose intolerance."
