“Knowledge isn't always good for you.”

“I don't care what your nose says! The last time you smelled half-blood, it turned out to be a meatloaf sandwich!""Meatloaf sandwiches are good! But this is a half-blood scent, I swear. They are on board!""Bah, your brain isn't on board!”

“Exquisitely painful, isn't it? Not being sure who you love and loves you? -Aphrodite”

“Love and war always go together. They are the peaks of human emotion! Evil and good, beauty and ugliness”

“Plus, humor ws a good way to hide the pain. And if that didn't work, there was always Plan B. Run aaway. Over and over.”

“Not knowing is half the fun," Aphrodite said, "Exquisitely painful isn't it? Not being sure who you love and who loves you? Oh, you kids! It's so cute I'm going to cry!”
