1 " On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the Titans and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls. "
― Hajime Isayama , Attack on Titan, Vol. 1 (Attack on Titan, #1)
2 " It is not only the size of these redwoods but their strangeness that frightens them. And why not? For these are the last remaining members of a race that flourished over four continents as far back in geologic time as the upper Jurassic period. Fossils of these ancients have been found dating from the Cretaceous era while in the Eocene and Miocene they were spread over England and Europe and America. And then the glaciers moved down and wiped the Titans out beyond recovery. And only these few are left--a stunning memory of what the world was like once long ago. Can it be that we do not love to be reminded that we are very young and callow in a world that was old when we came into it? And could there be a strong resistance to the certainty that a living world will continue its stately way when we no longer inhabit it? "
― John Steinbeck
3 " There were the usual exhortations to purity – think of the novel not as your opportunity to get rich or famous but to wrestle, in your own way, with the titans of the form – exhortations poets don’t have to make, given the economic marginality of the art, an economic marginality that soon all literature will share. "
― Ben Lerner , 10:04
4 " The Order of the Titans had agreed with his assessment. This generation, the Order would be successful where previous generations had failed, because this time they would steal mankind's inspiration. They would kill the muses for the greater good.... For the good of mankind. "

5 " You hit the Lord of The Titans with a blue plastic hairbrush. "
― Rick Riordan , The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #4)
6 " No wonder the sky had to be blotted out by advertisements. The stars drowned with lights. If everyone could see beyond Coalition horizons, perhaps they'd see the titans of humanity for what they were: tiny creatures, smaller than insects, and in the scale of things, every bit as insignificant. "
― S.J. Kincaid
7 " Behold, my children!" she said. " The instrument of my revenge. I will call it a scythe!" The Titans muttered among themselves: What is that for? Why is it curved? How do you spell scythe? "
8 " I nodded, looking at Rachel with respect. " You hit the Lord of the Titans in the eye with a blue plastic hairbrush. "
9 " you hit the lord of the titans in the eye with a blue plastic hairbrush? "
10 " Percy: You just hit the lord of the titans with a blue plastic hairbrush. "
― Rick Riordan , The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)
