“We need not go back through the cavern of the monsters," she said. "There is a way to reach the unseen road from here.”

“If our so-called facts are changing shadows, they are shadows cast by the light of constant truth. So too in religion we are repelled by that confident theological doctrine … but we need not turn aside from the measure of light that comes into our experience showing us a Way through the unseen world.”

“A hundred years from tonight, another American president will stand in this place and report on the State of the Union. He—or she—(applause)—he or she will look back on a 21st century shaped in so many ways by the decisions we make here and now.

“The road was new to me, as roads always are, going back.”

“Race you to the road?" I said.
"You are so going to lose." She (Annabeth) took off down Half-Blood Hill and I sprinted after her.

I’m travellin’ this long road here with you;
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.”
