The Battle of the Labyrinth

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

“Be careful of love. It'll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.” 

“People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can't be fixed.” 

“You deal with mythological stuff for a few years, you learn that paradises are usually places where you get killed.”

“You are okay?" he asked. "Not eaten by monsters?"

"'Not even a little bit.' I showed him that I still had both arms and both legs, and Tyson clapped happily. 'Yay!' he said. 'Now we can eat peanut butter sandwiches and ride fish ponies! We can fight monsters and see Annabeth and make things go BOOM!' I hoped he didn't mean all at the same time, but I told him absolutely, we'd have a lot of fun this summer.”

“Don't feel bad, I'm usually about to die.” 

“'You're a half-blood, too?' 'Shhh! Just announce it to the world, how about?' 'Okay. Hey, everybody! These two aren't human! They're half Greek god!...They don't seem to care.'”

“Jumping out a window five hundred feet above ground is not usually my idea of fun. Especially when I'm wearing bronze wings and flapping my arms like a duck.”

"New lesson, class. Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is perfectly normal, and will happen to you right now if you don't BACK OFF!" 

“'Monkey bar,' Annabeth said. 'I'm great at these.' She leaped onto to the first rung and start swinging her way across. She was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. Go figure.”

“My mother made a squeaking sound that might of been either "yes" or "help". Poseidon took it as a yes and came in. Paul was looking back and forth between us, trying to read our expressions.Finally he stepped forward. 'Hi, I'm Paul Blofis.' Poseidon raised an eyebrow and then shook his hand. 'Blowfish, did you say?' 'Ah, no. Blofis, actually.' 'Oh, I see,' Poseidon said. 'A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon.' 'Poseidon? That's an interesting name.' 'Yes, I like it. I've gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon.' 'Like the god of the sea.' 'Very much like that, yes' 'Well!' My mother interrupted. 'Um, were so glad you could drop by. Paul, this is Percy's father.' 'Ah.' Paul nodded, though he didn't look real pleased. 'I see.' Poseidon smiled at me. 'There you are, my boy. And Tyson, hello, son!' 'Daddy!' Tyson shouted. Paul's jaw dropped. He stared at my mother. 'Tyson is...' 'Not mine,' she promised. 'It's a long story.'” 

"He raised and eyebrow. "I am nice! I simple ooze niceness, Perry Johansson. Haven't you noticed?”

“There were a lot of answers I might've given, from "I knew that" to "LIAR!" to "Yeah right, and I'm Zeus."

“'A Vampire!' I stammered. Then I noticed her legs. Below the cheerleader skirt, her left leg was brown and shaggy with a donkey's hoof. Her right leg was shaped like a human leg was it was made of bronze. 'Uhh, a vampire with-'"

“I thought maybe he was seeing another tree."

“When I got across, I looked back and saw Tyson giving Grover a piggyback ride (or was it a goatyback ride?).”

“OPEN WITH CARE. TRIPPLE G RANCH IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, MAIMING, OR EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL DEATHS."

“We'd spent maybe ten minutes together, during which time I'd accidentally swung a sword at her, she'd saved my life, and I'd run away chased by a band of supernatural killing machines. You know, your typical chance meeting.”

“Chiron insisted that we talk about the Labyrinth in the morning which is like 'Hey, your life's in mortal danger. Sleep tight!”

“I remembered the last time Annabeth and I had parted ways, when she'd given me a kiss for luck in Mount St. Helens. This time, all I got was the hat.”

“Don’t judge someone until you’ve stood at his forge and worked with his hammer, eh?”

“Percy, lesser beings do many horrible things in the name of the gods. That does not mean we gods approve. The way our sons and daughters act in our names... well, it usually says more about THEM than it does about us.”

“Don't worry, goat boy. The milkman is dead.”

“He just raised the dead with coke and cheeseburgers”

Sorry it took me so long to upload this.  I've just been busy with school lately.  Anyways, any books you request quotes on I'll do.  It may take me awhile though since I'll read the book first.
