Animorphs/Quotes
Remember, kids: here there be spoilers.
We can't tell you who we are. Or where we live. It's too risky, and we've got to be careful. Really careful. So we don't trust anyone. Because if they find us... well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you've got to know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you.
—Blurb found on the back of a majority of the Animorphs books prior to book #51: The Absolute.

Here's the deal these days: they know exactly who we are. They know exactly where we live. We've got a few secrets left, and we're gonna use them. But just know that the end is coming. And we don't know how much longer we can do this. How much longer we can fight. —Blurb found on the backs of books #51: The Absolute through #54: The Beginning.

You want to get into this fight against Yeerks? Fine. We'll see how gung-ho you are when it's your own brother you have to kill. It's not exactly like some video game, is it? This is reality. You don't know anything about reality, Jake, because nothing bad has ever happened to you. You have this perfect, happy, suburban family. Just like I used to have.
—Marco, #1 The Invasion

What choice do we have? Back to the Yeerk pools? Back to our home planet, with Andalite Dome ships in orbit above us, waiting for one of us to rise from the sludge, then blow us apart? Leave the universe to the almighty Andalites and the species they happen to like?
—Aftran, #19 The Departure

A leader who shows weakness invites disaster.
—Jake, #53 The Answer

Look, we were cockroaches at the time. The shoe was all we could see. We assumed the Yeerks would infest this guy. The President, or whoever it was. But no. Visser Three only acquired his DNA so he could morph him. —Jake

It felt good to hear Jake say I was indispensable, but with Jake you could never be sure what was sincere, and what was just expedient. He'd been the most open of guys back in the old days. What you saw with Jake was what you got. But he'd been the leader for a long time now, he'd learned to say what he needed to say. —Tobias, #33 The Illusion

A phone call at three a.m. is rarely a good thing. When you're an Animorph, chance of good news ever - day or night - is zero.

Jake: If this is the future, I want to go back. —#41 The Familiar

Tobias is, like, really into the whole bird thing, isn't he?
—David

Tobias: What's going on? —#48 The Return
|
Well? Scared? You should be.
—Rachel, #54 The Beginning
|
Gen. Doubleday: All right, Mr. Alien, what have you got to say to me? —#53 The Answer

I'm not crazy. I am not some kind of nut.
—Rachel, repeated line
|
The Ellimist: I see. Afraid to play a game you might lose. A coward after all. —The Ellimist Chronicles
|
It's not a message, Big Jake. The Yeerks know we'll do whatever we have to do, they know it's out-and-out war. We're way past sending messages.
—Marco, #53 The Answer
|
My people have a saying - grace is the acceptance of the inevitable.
—Ax, #5 The Predator
|
Sorry, fighting a guerilla war against parasitic aliens has amped up my already rampant paranoia.
—Marco
|
If there's one thing I've learned from Jake it's that a leader can feel just as scared or full of doubt as any of his soldiers. He just isn't allowed to show it. Under any circumstances.
—Rachel, #37 The Weakness
