And we're back!  Hazel is wise beyond her years.  I mean, wise as a result of all of her years?  Time is confusing.  The point is that Hazel has said a lot of really smart things, and this month, we asked members of the Demigod Community Senate to share their favorite Hazel Levesque quotes.  Here's what we came up with!

1. Kelpie, Asteria_Thalassari (she/they)

"I'm not choosing one of your paths, I'm making my own" -Hazel Levesque to Hecate, The House of Hades

Kelpie: "I really like the meaningfulness of the quote. It shows that you're never limited to only one option, and that even if certain things may be inevitable, be can shape our own lives and identities."

2. Rose, NoSaneHumanAllowed (she/her)

"Sometimes sharing a problem doesn't make it easier to carry." -The Son of Neptune

Rose: "Ouch, this really hit close to home. I feel like this quote is really relatable and needs to be recognized more."

3. Peaches, PeachesTheBangkokCat (she/her)

"I'm not choosing one of your paths, I'm making one of my own." - The House of Hades

Peaches: "I know this is quite a popular one but I just love how it shows how strong she is."

4. Toaster, Not-a-human-here (she/her)

"I'm not choosing one of your paths. I'm making my own." -The House of Hades. 

Toaster: "Because it connects to my personal life, and gives my courage."

Welcome to the Senate, Toaster!

5. Cyan, PerseusJSonOfSea (he/him)

"What is a chicken Nugget?" -The Mark of Athena

Cyan: "just reflects the 70 year generation gap and chicken nuggets came into existence!!"

6. Stella, StarshineSkyStar (she/her)

"I'm not choosing one of your paths. I'm making my own."Hazel Levesque, The House of Hades

Stella: "This quote just gives off the vibes of someone who takes matters into their own hands. I personally would keep this quote for myself, because I feel like I'm kinda like Hazel!!"

7. Red, TheRedSourPatchKid (she/her)

"Schist! Big pile of schist!"

Red: "I think this moment could have been another dam, but it's underappreciated because it's kind of niche rock knowledge."

8. MiaValdez, Daughter7of-Poseidon (she/he)

"What is a chicken nugget?" - The Mark of Athena

MiaValdez: "I love this quote because while we know Hazel Levesque is arguably one of the most powerful demigods in existence, she has this cluelessness that reminds me she's still a person."

9. Storm, Daught3rOfSelene0708 (she/they)

"I'm not choosing one of your paths. I'm making my own"Hazel, in The House of Hades

Storm: "This quote of Hazel has become one of my favorites in the series because it shows Hazel showing her rebellious side and not only choosing the options Hecate has presented before her, but making her own."
