Memorable Quotes
-
“Not failing would be good.”
Percy Jackson -
“"Poseidon," I murmured, "accept my offering." And send me some help while you're at it, I prayed silently. Please.”
Percy Jackson -
“This is completely unfair, I told Tantalus to go chase a doughnut, which didn't help his mood.”
Percy Jackson -
“A minute later Annabeth hit a slippery patch of moss and her foot slipped. Fortunately, she found something else to put it against. Unfortunately, that something was my face. "Sorry." she murmured. "S'okay," I grunted, though I'd never really wanted to know what Annabeth's sneaker tasted like.”
Annabeth Chase + Percy Jackson -
“The Bridge fell away into the chasm, and the Cyclops howled... with delight, because he was standing right next to us. "Failed!" he yelled gleefully. "Nobody failed!"”
Polyphemusy, the Cyclops -
“Nobody was going to swat down my friends like that! I mean... nobody, not Nobody. Ah, you know what I mean.”
Percy Jackson -
“"Tyson, the Fleece. Can you get it for me?" "Which one?" Tyson said, looking around at the hundreds of sheep.”
Percy Jackson + Tyson -
“"Well," said Dionysus dryly, "some unplanned dinner entertainment."”
Dionysus -
