“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!”

“Ella is nervous,” the harpy muttered from her perch on the railing. “The elephant. The elephant is watching Ella.”

“Despicable creatures, vultures: without a doubt the most disgusting birds ever. I suppose they served their purpose, but did they have to be so greasy and ugly? Couldn't we have cute fuzzy rabbits that cleaned up roadkill instead?”

“You can do this" I murmured. "You are my brother. I love you. All the embarrassing bits, all the annoying bits, which I imagine is most of you--a thousand Zias might run away from you if they knew the truth. But I won't. I'll still be here.”

“Excuse me, have you seen Death? Big guy with black feathery wings? Likes to reap souls?”

“What was I up to, you may ask? I certainly didn't want to meet Monsieur Evil again or creepy old Lord Salamander.”

“You are so easily flattered, brother.'

'Because I have so many qualities to praise!”

“Twelve minutes. I can give you that.”

“Boy," Annabeth interrupted, "I'm sure you both would've been wonderful at killing each other. But right now you need some rest.”

“Don't talk to my sister that way." Nico said. His voice quivered, but I was impressed that he had the guts to say anything at all. — Percy”

“You said your mom is the goddess of balance," I reminded him. "The minor gods deserve better, Ethan, but total destruction isn't balance. Kronos doesn't build. He only destroys.”

“He's nuts" Bianca said
"We need to jump off this cliff" i said
"Oh nice idea!! Your nuts too”

“Maybe being home schooled, Carter didn’t realize that “test” is normally a bad thing.”

“It always disappointed me when mortals put themselves first and failed to see the big picture—the importance of putting me first”

“You sure you're not a Roman, Annabeth? Or an Amazon?”

“These times make for strange friends and unexpected enemies.”

“Her freckles were orange, as if somebody had spray-painted her face with liquid Cheetos.”

“Annabeth glared at me like she was going to punch me. But she did something that surprised me even more…

She kissed me.”

“Get closer," I told Blackjack. "I need to talk to the statue."he muttered, but he flew as close as he could, dodging the flying statue.”

“How does Galdoila know about the reward?" i asked.
"He reads the signs," Grover said. "Duh."
"Of course," I said. "Silly me.”

“They [Percy and Annabeth] held the Doors shut as the elevator shuddered and the music played, while somewhere below them, a Titan and a giant sacrificed their lives for their escape.”

“He crossed the street toward the man in the trench coat, which left me with two choices: follow my dad and see what was going on, or do what I was told.
I decided on the slightly less dangerous path.
I went to retrieve my sister”

“My eyes were gray—more like my cousin Annabeth’s than my mom’s.”

“No doubt she was thinking, Who dressed this poor girl like a traffic light?”

“It's not bad enough I am exiled? It's not bad enough you take away the few good heroes I'm allowed to meet? You think it's funny to send me this this ― this charbroiled runt of a boy to ruin my tranquility? This is NOT FUNNY! Take him back!”

“He's SO goatly.”

“Imagine jumping into a pit of boiling acid. Now multiply that pain times fifty."
-Percy”

“We’re on the enemy’s doorstep. We’re being asked to split up. Isn’t that how people get killed in horror movies?”

“Me? I slept like the dead, which I hoped wasn’t a sign of things to come.”

“I haven't devoured a soul in… What month is this? March?”
