    Sarah   Morgan
    “It’s good to be the sunshine, but sometimes it’s all right to be the rain, too. A good, balanced life needs both.”
    Sarah Morgan, Miracle on 5th Avenue

    Rick Riordan
    “Nico," I said at last, "shouldn't you be sitting at the Hades table?"

    He shrugged. "Technically, yes. But if I sit alone at my table, strange things happen. Cracks open in the floor. Zombies crawl out and start roaming around. It's a mood disorder. I can't control it. That's what I told Chiron. "

    "And is it true?" I asked.

    Nico smiled thinly. "I have a note from my doctor."

    Will raised his hand. "I'm his doctor.”
    Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

    Rick Riordan
    “Then there was Nico di Angelo. Dang, that kid gave Leo the freaky-deakies. He sat back in his leather aviator jacket, his black T-shirt and jeans, that wicked silver skull ring on his finger, and the Stygian sword at his side. His tufts of black hair struck up in curls like baby bat wings. His eyes were sad and kind of empty, as if he’d stared into the depths of Tartarus—which he had.”
    Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

    Rick Riordan
    “Nico scowled. ‘It’s none of your business, but I don’t belong. That’s obvious. No one wants me. I’m a child of –’
    ‘Oh, please.’ Will sounded unusually angry. ‘Nobody at Camp Half-Blood ever pushed you away. You have friends – or at least people who would like to be your friend. You pushed yourself away. If you’d get your head out of that brooding cloud of yours for once –”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “No,’ Nico said. ‘Getting a second life is one thing. Making it a better life, that’s the trick.’ As soon as he said it, Nico realized he could’ve been talking about himself. He decided not to bring that up.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “Really? That would be a first. I'm the son of Hades, 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 century. But that's not enough to set me apart.”
    Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

    Rick Riordan
    “Nico wasn't sure whether to kick himself or Will Solace. If he hadn’t been so distracted bickering with the son of Apollo, he would never have allowed the enemy to get so close.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Rick Riordan
    “Dreams and death were old friends of his. He knew how to navigate their dark borderland.”

    Rick Riordan
    “Nico was devastatingly alone. He’d lost his big sister Bianca. He’d pushed away all other demigods who’d tried to get close to him. His experiences at Camp Half-Blood, in the Labyrinth and in Tartarus had left him scarred, afraid to trust anyone.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    Sarah Hogle
    “But you still haven't said you love me."
    "That's not true."
    "You haven't."
    "I say it all the time, I just say it very, very quietly. I tell you when you're in another room, or right after we hang up the phone. I tell you when you've got headphones on. I say it after you shut the door behind you. I say it in my head every time you look at me.”
    Sarah Hogle, You Deserve Each Other

    “Kiss me again,” he says, drunk and foolish. “Kiss me until I am sick of it.”
    Holly Black, The Wicked King

    Rick Riordan
    “Please!’
    That word didn’t make sense to Nico. The Underworld had no mercy. It only had justice.
    ‘You’re already dead,’ Nico said. ‘You’re a ghost with no tongue, no memory. You won’t be sharing any secrets.”
    Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

    “When I brought my eyes back to his, I knew without a doubt that if we were anywhere else—alone—he would kiss me. He swallowed, and my eyes tracked down to his throat before slowly climbing back up by way of his strong chin, nose, and dark-as-night brown eyes.

    He raised one eyebrow, an unspoken question, and I realized at that moment that I wanted it. I wanted Wes. Michael had been my endgame, but I couldn’t bring myself to care about that anymore.

    I wouldn’t run through a train station for Michael. But I would do it for Wes.

    Holy shit.”
    Lynn Painter, Better Than the Movies
