“Stupides dieux des montagnes! hurla Léo. C’est la troisième fois que je remplace mon mât! Vous croyez que ça pousse sur les arbres ou quoi?
– Ben, répliqua Nico en fronçant les sourcils, les mâts sont faits avec des troncs d’arbre, non?
– C’est pas la question!”

“La connaissance ne s'offre pas. Elle se recherche et s'acquiert.”

“L’équipage se rassembla pour une réunion improvisée sur le pont avant, principalement parce que Percy surveillait un serpent de mer géant qui évoluait entre les vagues, à bâbord.
– Il est méchamment rouge, ce monstre, murmura Percy. Je me demande s’il est aromatisé grenadine?
– Si tu sautais à l’eau pour vérifier? lui lança Annabeth.
– Peut-être pas, nan.”

“Frank attrapa un des pancakes, le roula et l’entama. Il n’était pas du genre à se laisser couper l’appétit par un risque de mort imminente.”

“Bref, dit Frank, d’après mes cousins de Pylos, le dieu enchaîné qu’on doit trouver à Sparte est mon père. Enfin, Arès, pas Mars. Apparemment, les Spartiates gardaient dans leur ville une statue de lui couvert de chaînes pour que l’esprit de la guerre ne les quitte jamais.
– D’accord, dit Léo. Les Spartiates étaient grave zoum-zoum. En même temps, nous, avec la Victoire ficelée dans l’écurie, on peut pas la ramener.”

“Avance, avance, se disait-il. Cheeseburgers, lui répondait son estomac. La ferme, pensait-il. Avec des frites, gémissait son estomac.”

“Nico s’avança. – J’ai communiqué avec les morts hier soir. Il pouvait balancer ce genre de phrases comme ça, aussi facilement qu’il aurait dit : J’ai reçu un texto d’un pote.”

“Annabeth se frotta les yeux en se demandant si elle rêvait toujours. – C’est une quatre fromages ?!”

“Exact, répondit Cécrops avec amertume, comme s’il regrettait ses décisions. Mes sujets étaient les premiers Athéniens, les gémeaux.
– Comme ton signe astrologique? demanda Percy. Moi je suis Lion.
– Mais non, dit Léo. Tu dois être Poissons, toi. Lion, c’est pour Léo.”

“Di Immortales!”

“Dakota's head was stuck in his toga. He staggered around olike a Kool-Aid-stained ghost.
"Um," Percy said, "should I wear my bed sheets?”

“Right," Sadie said. "And Set will just stand there calmly while I read him to death.”

“Coach Hedge yelled,“Thar she blows! Kansas, ahoy!”
“Holy Hephaestus,” Leo muttered. “He really needs to work on his shipspeak.”

“Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything.”

“Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out!”

“Our desires reveal us. They show us for who we really are.”

“The wind blowing through my ripped clothes was so cold that I felt like a Percysicle.”

“Even little Herley, who couldn't have been more than eight, looked like he could go six rounds with Chuck Norris without breaking a sweat.”

“Holy mother!"
"Hmph. More like holy father. I'd think you'd know the difference."

-Hephaetus”

“This is the Wilderness School. 'Where the Kids are animals”

“If possible, try to avoid pushing each other over the edge, as that would cause me extra paperwork.”

“And you, Percy, are my favorite son.”

“Nereus spun and expanded, turning into a killer whale, but I grabbed his dorsal fin as he burst out of the water.
A whole bunch of tourists went, "Whoa!"
I managed to wave at the crowd.”

“Tyson thought Annabeth was just about the coolest thing since peanut butter, and he SERIOUSLY loved peanut butter.”

“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”

“Felix believed that the answer to every problem involved penguins; but it wasn't fair to birds, and I was getting tired of teleporting them back home. Somewhere in Antarctica, a whole flock of Magellanic penguins were undergoing psychotherapy.”

“Is that me?,' Leo said. 'Like me--having this dream--looking at me having a dream?”

“I stared at him (Dionysus). "You're… you're married? But I thought you got in trouble for chasing a wood nymph-”

“You Titans are about as bright as my gym socks.”

“Hephaestus glowered up at us. “I didn’t make you, did I?”

Uh,” Annabeth said, “no, sir.”

Good,” the god grumbled. “Shoddy workmanship.”

“Well, actually it carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that's not important.'
It was probably important to her.”

“If I'm going to burn, it might as well be bright.”

“Yeah, well. I don’t try to be awesome. It just comes natural.”

“Look, I need to tell you something,' I continued. The words came stumbling out of me. 'I couldnt stand it if… I dont want you to---'
Percy?' she said. 'You look like you're going to be sick.'
And that's how I felt.”

“Leo scratched his head. “Well I dunno about Enchiladas—”
“Enceladus,” Piper corrected.
“Whatever. But Old Potty Face mentioned another name. Porpoise Fear, or something?”
“Porphyrion?” Piper asked. ”He was the giant king, I think.”

“You assume that it has to be a male god who finds a human female attractive? How sexist is that?”

“We did all the standard camp numbers: "Down By The Aegean," "I Am My Own Great-Great-Great-Great Grandpa," "This Land is Minos's Land.”

“Piper patted his shoulder. “Trust me, Valdez. Beautiful people never lie.”

“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.”
