    Patrick Rothfuss
    “Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man's will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

    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

    “Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of
    their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for
    the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through ......

    Percy was deeply disapproving of this behavior.

    "It is not a laughing matter," he said coldly.

    "Oh, get out of the way, Percy," said Fred. "Harry's in a hurry."

    "Yeah, he's off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged
    servant," said George, chortling.

    Ginny didn't find it amusing either.

    "Oh, don't," she wailed every time Fred asked Harry loudly who he was
    planning to attack next, or when George pretended to ward Harry off with a large
    clove of garlic when they met.”

    “I figure the world is basically a machine. I don't know who made it, if it was the Fates, or the gods, or the capital-G god or whatever. But it chugs along the way it's supposed to most of the time. Sure, little pieces break off and stuff goes haywire once in a while, but mostly... things happen for a reason.”

    “Annabeth's voice caught on the word friend. Percy was a lot more than that. Even boyfriend really didn't cover it. They'd been through so much together, at this point Percy was part of her--a sometimes annoying part, sure, but definitely a part she could not live without.”
    Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

    “Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children's lives to settle its differences. You can spin it any way you like... But in the end, who does it benefit? No one. The truth is, it benefits no one to live in a world where these things happen”
    Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
