“My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it.”
Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) 16th President of the United States
“My father, Zeus, did not love me. The demigods at Camp Half-Blood did not love me. Python and the Beast and his comrades at Triumvirate Holdings did not love me. It was almost enough to make me question my self-worth.
No, no. That was crazy talk.”
— Rick Riordan, book The Hidden Oracle
