Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 1The Lightning Thief
by Rick Riordan
Memorable Quotes by Percy Jackson:
“Hades raised an eyebrow. When he sat forward in his throne, shadowy faces appeared in the folds of his black robes, faces of torment, as if the garment was stitched of trapped souls from the Fields of Punishment, trying to get out. The ADHD part of me wondered, off-task, whether the rest of his clothes were made in the same way. What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades' underwear?”
“Grover didn't say anything for awhile. Then, when I thought he was going to give me some deep philosophical comment to make me feel better, he said, "Can I have your apple?”
“Am I a troubled kid? Yeah, you could say that.”
“I was alive, which was good.”
“Sounds like a plan worthy of Athena.”
“What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades’ underwear?”
“'Show's over!" I yelled."'Thank you! Good night!" I wondered if Olympus had gone to a commercial break or if our ratings had been any good.”
“I'd love to tell you I had some deep revelation on my way down, that I came to terms with my own mortality, laughed in the face of death, et cetera. The Truth? My only thought was Aaaaggghhhhh!”
“I could smell food. Fried, greasy, excellent food. I realized I hadn't eaten anything unhealthy since I'd arrived at Half-Blood Hill, where we lived on grapes, bread, cheese, and extra-lean-cut nymph-prepared barbecue. This boy needed a double cheeseburger.”
“Then he groaned "Food," and I knew there was hope.”
“The thing was wearing underwear, and not just any underwear. Bright jumbo mamba underwear. It would have been funny if the top half weren't so scary.”
“Leave it to a girl to make everything complicated.”

“"Don't say I didn't warn you."”

Memorable Quotes by Percy Jackson:
“It's cool. No sword. See? No sword. Calm thoughts. Sea grass. Mama cows. Vegetarianism.-Tara Molavi-”
“Grover! Apples! Tin Cans! Get your furry goat behind out here and bring some heavily armed friends!”
“I tried explaining to Blackjack that taking a flying horse to a donut shop would give every cop in there a heart attack, but he didn't seem to get it.”
“I looked at Thalia and Zoe, and I decided it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to die fighting with friends like this.”
“There are parties, and then there are huge, major, blowout parties. And then there are Olympian parties. If you ever get a choice, go for Olympian”
“But...I don't know where it's going. My heart, I mean.”

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 2The Sea of Monsters
by Rick Riordan
Memorable Quotes by Percy Jackson:
“"Poseidon," I murmured, "accept my offering."And send me some help while you're at it, I prayed silently. Please.”
“This was so completely unfair, I told Tantalus to go chase a doughnut, which didn't help his mood.”
“Then it changed colors. I saw myself -- a reflection, but not a reflection. Shimmering there on the cloth was a cooler version of Percy Jackson --- with just the right clothes, a confident smile on my face. My teeth were straight. No zits. A perfect tan. More athletic. Maybe a couple inches taller. It was me, without the faults."Whoa", I managed.”
“Nobody was going to swat down my friends like that! I mean... nobody, not Nobody. Ah, you know what I mean.”
“Not failing would be good.”
“Annabeth glared at me, and I started to wish I hadn't asked her about this while she was holding a knife.”
“She rushed over and rummaged through my pockets. But instead of bringing out Riptide, she found the bottle of Hermes multivitamins and started struggling with the cap. I wanted to scream at her that this wasn't the time for taking supplements! She had to draw the sword!”
“We only came close to dying six or seven times, which I thought was pretty good.”
“Only one more day to go. Surely even I couldn't mess that up. As usual, I didn't have a clue how wrong I was.”
“Wise Girl”
“"Annabeth's footsliped from the rock face, but fortunately, she found something to put her foot on. Unfortunately, that thing was my face."”
