More From Rick Riordan

One of my favorite things about hanging out with the monsters is the healing. straight humans seemed to get killed on me a lot. monsters survived. let's hear it for the monsters.
Healing Monsters Favorites Things
Stop being frightened. you only see a monster because they want you to see monsters everywhere. they've conditioned you to look for monsters in every shadow, every coat hung on every door. as long as we keep seeing monsters, we'll continue to need protection and that's how other people get to control our lives.

Choosing to live in narrow spaces leads to form of mental agoraphobia and that brings its own terrors. i think the willfully unimaginative see more monsters, they are often more afraid. what is more, those who choose not to empathize enable real monsters. for without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude through our own apathy.
Real Thinking Space
See how the world (whose chaste and pregnant womb of late conceiv'd, and brought forth nothing ill) is now degenerated, and become a base adult'ress, whose false births do fill the earth with monsters, monsters that do roam and rage about, and make a trade to kill: now glutt'ny paunches, and avarice a pawn; pale envy pines, pride swells, and sloth begins to yawn.

Monsters,' her dad said, a tear tracing his cheek. 'i live in a world of monsters.
Dad Tears Monsters
People tell their children there are no monsters in the world. they tell them that because they believe it, or they want the child to feel safe. but there are monsters, luke, all the more frightening because they look like people.

If you do not give your children freedom, when they grow up, they will break away from the family, and then your hearts will be broken.

In the '80s, i thought i'd be a success as a woman if i were the president of a billion dollar company, had a sensitive soul-mate husband, two bilingual children, buns of steels, and a compost heap. in the '90s, i pretty much feel i'm a success if i can get through the afternoon without eating a cheesecake.

The paradox is that exactly the reverse is true. everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free; our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country. all these priceless possessions are free. but the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time. a good man can be completely wiped out and make another fortune. he can do that several times. even if our home burns down, we can rebuild it. but the things we got for nothing, we can never replace.
