“Annabeth gripped the hilt of her dagger. “A bounty on our heads . . . as if we didn’t attract enough monsters already.â€�
“Do we get WANTED posters?� Leo asked. “And do they have our bounties, like, broken down on a price list?�
Hazel wrinkled her nose. �What are you talking about?�
“Just wondering how much I’m going for these days,â€� Leo said. “I mean, I can understand not being as pricey as Percy or Jason, maybe . . . but am I worth, like, two Franks, or three Franks?”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Leo drummed his fingers. “Great. I should have installed a smoke screen that makes the ship smell like a giant chicken nugget. Remind me to invent that, next time.â€�
Hazel frowned. “What is a chicken nugget?�
“Oh, man…â¶Ä� Leo shook his head in amazement. “That's right. You’ve missed the last, like, seventy years. Well, my apprentice, a chicken nugget—â€�
“Doesn’t matter,â€� Annabeth interrupted.”

“Once the others were below, Hazel and Leo faced each other awkwardly. They were alone except for Coach Hedge, who was back on the quarterdeck singing the ±Ê´Ç°ìé³¾´Ç²Ô theme song. The coach had changed the words to: Gotta Kill ’Em All, and Leo really didn’t want to know why.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Part of their problem was Percy. He fought like a demon, whirling through the defender's ranks in a completely unorthodox style, rolling under their feet, slashing with his sword instead of stabbing like a Roman would, whacking campers with the flat of his blade, and generally causing mass panic.”
― Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune

“[Piper] rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered—all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch.
Frank’s Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement. Hazel’s hair was all blown to one side as though she’d walked through a cyclone; and Leo had accidentally set himself on fire. His T-shirt was in charred tatters. His arms were smoking.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Aphrodite,â€� [Annabeth] said.
“Venus?� Hazel asked in amazement.
“Mom,� Piper said with no enthusiasm.
“Girls!� The goddess spread her arms like she wanted a group hug.
The three demigods did not oblige. Hazel backed into a palmetto tree.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Piper and Hazel were ready to go, but first Annabeth turned to Percy, who was leaning on the starboard rail, gazing over the bay.
Annabeth took his hand. “What are you going to do while we’re gone?�
“Jump in the harbor,â€� he said casually, like another kid might say, I’m going to get a snack.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Oh, by the way…â¶Ä� Jason glanced at Percy. “I resigned my office, gave Frank a field promotion to praetor. Unless you want to contest that ruling.â€�

Percy grinned. “No argument here.�

“Praetor?� Hazel stared at Frank.

He shrugged uncomfortably. “Well� yeah. I know it seems weird.� She tried to throw her arms around him, then winced as she remembered her busted ribs. She settled for kissing him. “It seems perfect.�

Leo clapped Frank on the shoulder. “Way to go, Zhang. Now you can order Octavian to fall on his sword.”

“Percy?" Annabeth gripped his arm.
"Oh, bad," he muttered. "Bad. Bad." He looked across the table at Frank and Hazel. "You guys remember Polybotes?"
"The giant who invaded Camp Jupiter," Hazel said. "The anti-Poseidon you whacked in the head with a Terminus statue. Yes, I think I remember”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Stop!" Narcissus got to his feet. "This is not right! This person is obviously not awesome, so he must be..." He struggled for the right words. It had probably been a long time since he'd talked about anything other than himself. "He must be tricking us."

Apparently Narcissus wasn't completely stupid.”

“Hazel!â€� he yelled. “That box! Open it!â€�
She hesitated, then saw the box he meant. Te label read WARNING. DO NOT OPEN.
“Open it!â€� Leo yelled again.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Hey.â€� [Leo] squeezed her hand, though Hazel sensed nothing romantic in the gesture. “Machines are designed to work.â€�
“Uh, what?�
“I figure the universe is basically like a machine. I don’t know who made it, if it was the Fates, or the gods, or capital-G God, or whatever. But it chugs along the way it’s supposed to most of the time. Sure, little pieces break and stuff goes haywire once in a while, but mostly . . . things happen for a reason. Like you and me meeting.�
“Leo Valdez,â€� Hazel marveled, “you’re a philosopher.”
― Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

“We still should have enough time to reach Rome.â€�
Hazel scowled. “When you say should have enough…â¶Ä�
Leo shrugged. “How do you feel about barely enough?�
Hazel put her face in her hands for a count of three. “Sounds about typical for us.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Yes!" Narissus unslung his bow and grabbed an arrow from his dusty quiver. "The first one who get that bronze, I will like you almost as much as I like me. I might even kiss you, right after I kiss my reflection!"

"Oh my gods!" the nymphs squealed.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“No!" Leo yelled.
"Uhhh," Nico groaned from the floor.
"Piper!" Jason cried.
"Monkey!" Frank yelled.
"Not monkeys," Hazel grumbled. "I think those are dwarfs."
"Stealing my stuff!" Leo yelled, and ran for the stairs.”
― Rick Riordan

“Hazel frowned. "Why that one?"

"You don't see the ghost?" Frank asked.

"Ghost?" Nico asked.

Okay... if Frank was seeing a ghost that the Underworld kids couldn't see, something was definitely wrong.”
― Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

“You both passed out,â€� Percy said. “I don’t know why, but Ella told me not to worry about it. She said you were…sharing?â€�
“Sharing,� Ella agreed. She crouched in the stern, preening her wing feathers with her teeth, which didn’t look like a very effective form of personal hygiene. She spit out some red fluff. “Sharing is good. No more blackouts. Biggest American blackout, August 14, 2003. Hazel shared. No more blackouts.�
Percy scratched his head. “Yeah…we’ve been having conversations like that all night. I still don’t know what she’s talking about.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“When I was alive, I mean the first time, Mussolini was in charge. We were at war.â€�
“Mussolini?â€� Leo frowned. “Wasn’t he like BFFs with Hitler?”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Schist," said an angry voice from the grass. Hazel raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me?" "Schist! Big pile of schist!”
― Rick Riordan , The Son of Neptune

“[Hazel] hissed in frustration. 'I hate eidolons. I thought Piper made them promise to stay away.'
'Oh...' Frank said, like he'd just had his own daily happy thought. 'Piper made them promise to stay off the ship and not possess any of us. But if they followed us, and used other bodies to attack us, then they're not technically breaking their vow...'
'Great,' Leo muttered. 'Eidolons who are also lawyers. Now I really want to kill them.”

“I'm not choosing one of your paths, I'm making one of my own.”
― Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

“Nico and Hazel exchanged looks. They both knew better, but they said nothing.”
― Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

“We were surrounded by thirty-foot-tall giants who were about to kill us. Then the sky opened up, and the gods descended."
"Grandad," the kids said, "you are full of schist."
"I'm not kidding!" he protested.”
― Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

“sometimes sharing a problem doesn't make it easier to carry”
― Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune

“It looks like a seagull’s face,â€� Percy said. “And we’re the eye.â€�
Hazel glared at him. “It’s a map, Percy.�
(...)
She drew a dotted line between the two X’s.
“You just cut off the seagull’s head,� Percy noted.
Hazel sighed.”

“All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth’s dagger.
“You dropped this,� he said, totally poker-faced.
Annabeth threw her arms around him. “I love you!�
“Guys,� Hazel interrupted. She had a little smile on her face. “We need to hurry.�
Down in the water, Octavian yelled, “Get me out of here! I’ll kill you!�
“Tempting,â€� Percy called down.”
― Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

“Hazel and Frank exchanged uneasy looks, like they’d already talked about this.
‘Percy …’Frank said. ‘If you want us to come along, we’re in. But are you sure? I mean � we know you’ve got tons of friends at the other camp. And you could pick anyone at Camp Jupiter now. If we’re not part of the seven, we’d understand –�
‘Are you kidding?� Percy said. ‘You think I’d leave my team behind? After surviving Fleecy’s wheat germ, running from cannibals and hiding under blue giant butts in Alaska? Come on!�
The tension broke. All three of them started cracking up, maybe a little too much, but it was a relief to be alive, with the warm sun shining, and not worrying â€� at least for the moment â€� about sinister faces appearing in the shadows of the hills.”
― Rick Riordan

“Good-bye, Hazel Levesque. If we both die tonight... well, I'm glad I met you.”
― Rick Riordan, The Son of Neptune

“That’s why the Minotaur story bothered Hazel...the idea that a child, any child, could be considered a monster, a punishment to its parents, to be locked away and hated. To Hazel, the minotaur had always seemed like a victim in the story.”
― Rick Riordan

“Then she kissed him-a real kiss on the lips, much better than the kind of kiss she'd given Percy on the airplane.”
