– Mais non, dit Léo. Tu dois être Poissons, toi. Lion, c’est pour Léo.”

“Di Immortales!”

“If you'd sat there any longer,' Annabeth said, 'you would have spontaneously combusted. I hope the conversation was worth it?”

“like the children of Thor? At least their dad had a movie franchise.”

“A truly great artist has many talents.”

“Dang! Snake people know how to make bundt cake.”

“And, Bianca, come with me. I would like to speak with you."
"What about me?" Nico asked.”

“Everything happens for a reason, Sadie, even bad things.”

“Her perfume was a mixture of roses and tear gas.”

“You see gods have great power, but only humans have creativity, the power to change history rather than simply repeat it. Humans can… how do you moderns say it… think outside the cup.”

“This is my driver,’ Nico said. ‘Jules-Albert finished first in the Paris–Rouen motorcar race back in 1895, but he wasn’t awarded the prize because his steam car used a stoker.”

“I was a fight to the death, and I felt great.”

“I may be biased, but I think jackals are cute and cuddly, even if they were known for digging up graves in Ancient Egypt.”
