1 " In a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some devine force is really trying to mess up your day. "

2 " She said this in the same way you might say Fields of Punishment or Hades's gym shorts. "
3 " The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school. "
4 " That’s us,” he said. “Those five nuts right there.”Which one is me?” I asked.The little deformed one,” Zoe suggested.Oh, shut up. "
5 " Aretmis gripped her bow. “Let us pray I am wrong.”Can goddesses pray? "
6 " Apollo?” I guessed…He put a finger to his lips. “I’m incognito. Call me Fred.”A god named Fred? "
7 " Can’t this thing go any faster?” Thalia demanded.Zoe glared at her. “I cannot control traffic.”You both sound like my mother,” I said.Shut up!” they both said in union. "
8 " Brother,” Artemis chided. “You do not help my Hunters. You do not look at, talk to, or flirt with my Hunters. And you do not call them sweetheart. "
9 " There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it. "
10 " Boys are usually forbidden to have any contact with the Hunters. The last one to see this camp…” She looked at Zoe. “Which one was it?”That boy in Colorado,” Zoe said. “You turned him into a jackalope.”Ah, yes.” Artemis nodded, satisfied. “I enjoy making jackalopes… "
11 " If there were ever any half-bloods who needed to worry about that, itwas Thalia and me. I wondered if maybe I should've sent Poseidon that seashell pattern tiefor Father's Day after all.--Percy Jackson "
12 " The wind blowing through my ripped clothes was so cold that I felt like a Percysicle. "
13 " I'd like to say I took the news well.The truth was, I wanted to strangle the Hunters of Artemis one eternal maiden at a time.--Percy Jackson "
14 " Could an Olympian parent turn against his half-blood child? Would it sometimes be easier just to let them die? If there were ever any half-bloods who needed to worry about that, it was Thalia and me. I wondered if maybe I should've sent Poseidon that seashell pattern tie for Father's Day after all. "
15 " There are parties and then there are huge major blowout parties. And then there are Olympian parties. If you ever get a choice go for the Olympian. "
16 " Zoe readied her arrows. Grover lifted his pipes. Thalia raised her shield and I noticed a tear running down her cheek. Suddenly it occurred to me: this had happened to her before.She had been cornered on Half- Blood Hill. She'd willingly given her life for her friends. But this time she couldn't save us. "
17 " Bessie?” I looked down at the bull serpent. “But… he’s too cute. He couldn’t destroy the world.”-Percy Jackson "
18 " Now, if you have never been hit by a flying burrito, count yourself lucky. In terms of deadly projectiles, it's right up there with grenades and cannonballs. "
19 " Yay!' he said. 'Now we can eat peanut butter sandwiches and ride fish ponies! We can fight monsters and see Annabeth and make things go BOOM! "
20 " I hoped I wasn't blushing. It was bad enough I had to depend on my mom to drive me to my battles. "
