What is one meaningful quote from this author Rick Riordan? ›

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

The quote by Percy Jackson, "If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself," encapsulates the central theme of self-empowerment and personal growth found throughout the series.

The Blood of Olympus

Percy kisses Annabeth for a long time and then proceeds to tell Annabeth he loves her.

Love cannot live where there is no trust. The mind knows only what lies near the heart. The power of good is shown not by triumphantly conquering evil, but by continuing to resist evil while facing certain defeat.

Leo then uses his metal dragon Festus to lift Gaea into the air, and Jason flies up with Piper to join the fight. Piper puts Gaea to sleep with charmspeak. Leo sends Jason and Piper to safety while he makes his metal dragon explode, simultaneously killing Gaea and sacrificing his own life.

Percy's nose is bloodied by being batted by Thoon and eventually a drop of his blood rolls down his chin in the midst of battle and spills onto the ground as well, thereby waking Gaea, who appears at Camp Half-Blood, intending to destroy it.

Inspired by one son's reading difficulties, Riordan began to create stories about Percy Jackson, a young demigod who comes from a dysfunctional family. He chose mythology because that was the only subject that his son found enjoyable.

The Riordanverse is a formidable verse with Major Olympian Gods exhibiting immense power, such as throwing mountains and islands, drowning the planet, and engaging in battles that vaporize seas. They possess divine control over their domains and wield weapons of incredible might.
