The nature of hate is mysterious. It can gnaw at the heart for an eon, then depart when one expected it to remain as immobile as a mountain. But even mountains erode.

Wow! 7 years! I can't believe it's been so long already. I love this community and every experience I have had. The connections I made. Here's to many more years!

The things you name do grow in power, but others that are not ever whispered claw at one‘s heart anyway, rip it to shreds even if a syllable does not escape the lips.
Mortals have always been frightened of the night‘s velvet embrace and the creatures that walk in it, and yet they find themselves mesmerized by it. Since all gods are born from the kernel of mortal hearts, it is no wonder Xibalba reflected this duality.
Power might belong in the hands of the people, ..., but that doesn't mean mobs are always wise. People need leaders. Good men...
It was a rare gift, Hazel thought, to be surrounded by intelligent people who actually cared what you had to say.
Pleasure is fleeting. Science, the information you can gather, the things you can learn -thesr are what last. These are what make a legacy.
The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.
You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature. - Odysseus

We are chained to this life by a chain of gold, and we dare not sever it for fear of what lies beyond the drop.
For if there is no one in the world who cares for you, do you really exist at all?
“I believe in good and evil,” said Jem. “And I believe the soul is eternal. But I don‘t believe in the fiery pit, the pitchforks, or endless torment. I do not believe you can threaten people into goodness.”
We‘re fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction.
Every battle you have fought is with you still.
Every enemy you have defeated stands behind you.
You are Bound as you have always been Bound, to those who came before and those who will come after.
To those you loved and those you hated.
You are stronger than you think.
Because the Wheel of Fate has a way of wrecking everything it ever rolls past. And now we‘re all just left to sort out the pieces, to pretend this is how it was always supposed to be.
People believe, thought Shadow. It‘s what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.

There are normal hours and then there are invalid hours, when time stalls and slips, when life -real life- seems to exist at one remove.

You do not know how fast you are running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until someone stands behind you and says, "It's OK, you can fall down now, I'll catch you. - Evelyn

pickMy daughter got me into this series, when she knew I was reading this book she told me that Annabeth reminded her of me so much. After reading this book I feel stronger than wonder woman. Getting at last the pov of Annabeth and her fears and wits made me glad. She is everything I expected and more. Loved this book so much.
Is it me or every song in this book goes with the same tune? 😂
