    “Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
    Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
    Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
    "Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."
    Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
    ...
    I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand."

    “Once she was gone, I knelt next to Annabeth and felt her forehead. She was still burning up.

    Rick Riordan
    “She raised an eyebrow. "You got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?"

    You'd probably kick my butt."

    You know I'd kick your butt."

    I brushed the cake off my hands. "When I was at the River Styx, turning invulnerable . . . Nico said I had to concentrate on one thing that kept me anchored to the world, that made me want to stay mortal."

    Annabeth kept her eyes on the horizon. "Yeah?"

    Then up on Olympus," I said, "when they wanted to make me a god and stuff, I kept thinking-"

    Oh, you so wanted to."

    Well, maybe a little. But I didn't, because I thought-I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And I was thinking . . ." My throat felt really dry.

    Anyone in particular?" Annabeth asked, her voice soft.

    I looked over and saw that she was trying not to smile.

    You're laughing at me," I complained.

    I am not!"

    You are so not making this easy."

    Then she laughed for real, and she put her hands
    around my neck. "I am never, ever going to make things easy for you, Seaweed Brain. Get used to it.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    Marilyn Monroe
    “This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    “You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.”
