1 " But beauty is about finding the right fit, the most natural fit, To be perfect, you have to feel perfect about yourself --- avoid trying to be something you're not. For a goddess, that's especially hard. We can change so easily.-Aphrodite "
― Rick Riordan , The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1)
2 " My point is that love is the most powerful motivator in the world. It spurs mortals to greatness. Their noblest, bravest acts are done for love. "
3 " Don't dwell on things. Don't stay in one place too long. It was the only way to stay ahead of sadness. "
4 " Great victory requires great risk.-Hera "
5 " What about a compromise? I’ll kill them first, and if it turns out they were friendly, I’ll apologize. "
6 " She wondered if it was her stupid mother, the goddess of love, messing with her thoughts. If Piper started getting urges to read fashion magazines, she was going to have to find Aphrodite and smack her. "
7 " Leo: I'm almost out of gas! Woah, that came out wrong. I meant the burning kind! "
8 " That's it, cupcake. You're going down. "
9 " If possible, try to avoid pushing each other over the edge, as that would cause me extra paperwork. "
10 " Leo. Jason said, you're wierd. Yeah, you tell me that a lot. Leo grinned. But if you don't remember me, that means I can reuse all my old jokes. Come on! "
11 " Yeah, well. I don’t try to be awesome. It just comes natural. "
12 " And of course I'm in the press all the time. So many books have been written about me; Into thin air, up in the air,Gone with the wind- "
13 " Is that me?,' Leo said. 'Like me--having this dream--looking at me having a dream? "
14 " Now-what’s our game plan?” Coach Hedge belched. He’d already had three espressos and a plate of doughnuts, along with two napkins and another flower from the vase on the table. He would’ve eaten the silverware, except Piper had slapped his hand. “Climb the mountain,” Hedge said. “Kill everything except Piper’s dad. Leave.” “Thank you General Eisenhower,” Jason grumbles. "
15 " They passed a couple of guys making a bronze windup toy. At least that’s what it looked like. It was a six-inch-tall centaur—half man, half horse—armed with a miniature bow. One of the campers cranked the centaur’s tail, and it whirred to life. It galloped across the table, yelling, “Die, mosquito! Die, mosquito!” and shooting everything in sight. "
16 " Hmph. Yes. Him. He had the nerve to turn down our offer of immortality and tell us to pay better attention to our children. Er, no offense.” “Oh, how could I take offense? Please, go on ignoring me. "
17 " So…we’ll start by boasting, will we? Just like old times! Very well, demigod. "
18 " Humor was a good way to hide the pain. "
19 " You can tell the future?''More like the future mugs me from time to time.' Rachel said'I speak prophecies. The oracle spirit kind of hijacks me once in a while, and speaks important stuff that doesn't make any sense to anybody. But yeah, the prophecies tell the future. "
20 " I'm Dylan. I'm so cool. I want to date myself, but I don't know how! You want to date me instead? You're so lucky! "
