    “You asked about the Avengers. Y’wanna know the best part about being an Avenger? Having Captain America around you all the time. He just—the guy just brings out the absolute best in people. You want to be good when he’s around. You really do.

    Ivan, look around you real quick. Because right now? Captain America ain’t here.”

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Markus Zusak
    “Max," she said. He turned and briefly closed his eyes as the girl continued.
    There was once a strange, small man,"she said. Her arms were loose but her hands were fists at her side. "But there was a word shaker,too."

    One of the Jews on his way to Dachau had stopped walking now. He stood absolutely still as the others swerved morosely around him, leaving him completely alone. His eyes staggered, and it was so simple. The words were given across from the girl to the Jew. They climbed on to him.

    The next time she spoke, the questions stumbled from her mouth. Hot tears fought for room in her eyes as she would not let them out. Better to stand resolute and proud. Let the words do all of it. "Is it really you? the young man asked," she said. " Is it from your cheek that I took the seed.?"
    Max Vandenburg remained standing.
    He did not drop to his knees.
    People and Jews and clouds all stopped. They watched.
    As he stood, Max looked first at the girl and then stared directly into the sky who was wide and blue and magnificent. There were heavy beams-- planks of son-- falling randomly, wonderfully to the road. Clouds arched their backs to look behind as they started again to move on. "It's such a beautiful day," he said, and his voice was in many pieces. A great day to die. A great day to die,like this.
    Liesel walked at him. She was courageous enought to reach out and hold his bearded face. "Is it really you,Max?"
    Such a brilliant German day and its attentive crowd.
    He let his mouth kiss her palm. "Yes, Liesel, it's me," and he held the girl's hand in his face and cried onto her fingers. He cried as the soldiers came and a small collection of insolent Jews stood and watched.”
    Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

    Charles Dickens
    “I'll tell you," said she, in the same hurried passionate whisper, "what real love it. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as I did!”
    Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

    Victor Hugo
    “Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.”
    Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

    Rick Riordan
    “Annabeth,” he said hesitantly, “in New Rome, demigods can live their whole lives in peace.”
    Her expression turned guarded. “Reyna explained it to me. But, Percy, you belong at Camp Half-Blood. That other life—”
    “I know,” Percy said. “But while I was there, I saw so many demigods living without fear: kids going to college, couples getting married and raising families. There’s nothing like that at Camp Half-Blood. I kept thinking about you and me…and maybe someday when this war with the giants is over…”
    It was hard to tell in the golden light, but he thought Annabeth was blushing. “Oh,” she said…
    “I’m sorry,” he said. “I just…I had to think of that to keep going. To give me hope. Forget I mentioned—”
    “No!” she said. “Gods, Percy, that’s so sweet.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

    Rick Riordan
    “And,” Annabeth continued, “it reminds me how long we’ve known each other. We were twelve, Percy. Can you believe that?”
    “No, he admitted. “So…you knew you liked me from that moment?”
    She smirked. “I hated you at first. You annoyed me. Then I tolerated you for a few years. Then—”
    “Okay, fine.”
    She leaned in and kissed: him a good, proper kiss without anyone watching—no Romans anywhere, no screaming satyr chaperones.
    She pulled away. “I missed you, Percy.”
    Percy wanted to tell her the same thing, but it seemed too small a comment. While he had been on the Roman side, he’d kept himself alive almost solely by thinking of Annabeth. I missed you didn’t really cover that.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

  • #25
    Rick Riordan
    “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.”
    Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

    Wayne Thomas Batson
    “There are passages and doors
    And Realms that lie unseen.
    There are Roads both wide and narrow
    And no avenue between.
    Doors Remain closed for those
    Who in sad vanity yet hide.
    Yet when Belief is chosen,
    The key appears inside.
    What is lived now will soon pass,
    And what is not will come to Be.
    The Door Within must open,
    For one to truly see.
    Do you see?
    Believe and enter.”
    Wayne Thomas Batson, The Door Within

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”
