Rick Riordan citáty

strana 13

„Smrtelníci umějí být někdy horší než nestvůry.“

„Až vyrostu, bude ze mě Percy Jackson. -Julia“

„Život je vzácný jenom proto, že končí.“

„Nikdy nevíš, kdy se tvůj svět chystá rozpadnout na kousky.“

„S lidmi se pracuje obtížněji než se stroji. A když člověka zlomíte, už ho nelze opravit.“

„Skutečný svět je tam, kde jsou příšery.“

“Love was the most savage monster of all.”

“But how did you know where we were?" Annabeth asked.

Advanced planning, my dear. I figured you would wash up near Miami if you made it out of the Sea of Monsters alive. Almost everything strange washes up near Miami.”

“Frank didn’t drop you on purpose,” she said. “He’s not like that. He’s just a little clumsy sometimes.”

“Oops,” Leo said, in his best Frank Zhang voice. “Dropped Leo into a squad of enemy soldiers. Dang it!”

“Sometimes wisdom came from strange places, even from giant teenaged goldfish.”

“Met them. Killed them. Got the T-shirt.”

“Aphrodite strikes again, huh? You're gonna be the best-dressed warrior in town, beauty queen.”

“It was like Percy had faced death before, like he knew about grief. What mattered was listening. You didn’t need to say you were sorry. The only thing that helped was moving on—moving forward.”

“Great victory requires great risk.
-Hera”

“It was a crazy idea. But, as usual, that’s all Percy had.”

“I looked at Rachel. "You're not going to do anything stupid, are you? I mean…. you talked to Chiron, right?"
She managed a faint smile. "You're worried aboutdoing something stupid?”

“The thing about plummetting downhill at fifty miles an hour on a snack platter - if you realize it's a bad idea when you're halfway down, it's too late.”

“Let's boogie,' he (Leo) said. 'Before I come to my senses”

“People usually asked her if she had a belly button. Of course she had a belly button. She couldn't explain how. She didn't really want to know.”

“No, no,” Leo said. “Rainbows. Very macho.”

“Really? That would be a first. I'm the son of, Jason. I might as well be covered in blood or sewage, the way people treat me. I don't belong anywhere. I'm not even from this. But that's not enough to set me apart.”

“That sounded about as likely as Apophis and Ra becoming Facebook buddies, but I decided not to say anything.”

“He’d learned years ago it was better not to dwell too much on who was related to whom on the godly side of things. After Tyson the Cyclops adopted him as a brother, Percy decided that that was about as far as he wanted to extend the family.”

“A hero can go anywhere, challenge anyone, as long as he has the nerve.”

“Rachel bit her lip. "I hope you're right. I'm a little worried. What if someone asks what's on the next math test and I start spouting a prophecy in the middle of geometry class? Gods, that would be embarrassing.”

“After our mom died, her parents (our grandparents) had this big court battle with dad. After six lawyers, two fistfights, and a near fatal attack with a spatula (don't ask), they won the right to keep Sadie with them in England.”

“Leo had seen Tia Callida in action; she liked knives, snakes and putting babies in roaring fires. Yeah, definitely let's unleash her rage. Great idea.”

“He hated when his own advice applied to himself.”

“Hey!" I screamed, waving the jacket, running to one side of the monster. "Hey, stupid! Ground beef!”

“We’ve all got weaknesses. Me, for instance. I’m tragically funny and good-looking.”

“I'd missed Annabeth probably more than I wanted to admit.”

“Sadie, I can't intervene." He turned up his palms in frustration. "I told you when we first met, this isn't an actual physical body."
"Shame," I mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing. Go on.”

“There's another problem," Percy said. "I'm not good with air travel. It's dangerous for a son of Neptune."
"You'll have to risk it… and so will I," Frank said. "By the way, we're related."
Percy almost stumbled off the roof. "What?”

“Not all powers are spectacular." Hestia looked at me. "Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding.”

“Hazel blinked. “Two gods had a horse for a kid?”
“Long story.”
