Line 3:
{{quote|''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''.}}
{{quote|''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.''
▲{{quote|''What about you? Where will you be where it ends? Think about it. Think hard. Because the countdown has already begun....''|'''Blurb''' found on the backs of books ''#51: The Absolute'' through ''#54: The Beginning''.}}
{{quote|''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'''''}}
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
'''Marco''': Yeah, it's a real miracle of human technology.
'''Ax''': I have wanted to try other mouth uses. Drinking. Eating... Eeeaaating. Ting.
'''Marco''': You just line up the little hole with your mouth. We have to find Jake. We already lost, like, ten minutes because of you.
|'''''#5 The Predator'''''}}
{{quote|'''''Ax''': It's me. It's Aximili. I'm on Earth. I don't know how long I can talk. Not long.
Line 31:
'''Ax's father''': And do you, Aximili, take up the burden of avenging your brother's death?
'''Ax''': Yes.
'''Ax's father''': I am relieved to see you are still well.
|'''''#8 The Alien'''''}}
{{quote|''Only a fool is strong so others will see. The wise are strong for themselves.''|'''Toby'''}}
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
'''Rachel''': You're probably right. Even if we were warned, we wouldn't last long. But some of us would last a while, you little bastard. Long enough to make sure your parents... Well, just use your imagination.
(David swings at Rachel with his fist. Rachel catches his hand and jams a fork to the side of David's head)
'''Rachel''': You want a war between you and us, that's fine, we'll play that out. But if you try to sell us out to the Yeerks, your little family will ''never'' get put back together again! ''Never!''
{{quote|''A leader who shows weakness invites disaster.''|'''Jake, ''#53 The Answer'''''}}
{{quote|''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.''
''See, Visser Three is the only Yeerk to ever take control of an Andalite body. He's the only Yeerk who can morph.''
''And now he could morph Mr. Slashed Shoe. Whoever he was.''
''Sigh.''
''Now you know why my grade point average has dropped. See what I have to deal with? It's enough to make your head explode.''
|'''Jake'''}}
{{quote|''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.''
''Jake needed me as one of the Animorphs. He liked me, respected me, was happy for me when I was happy. And when he had to he used me without any regard for anything except winning.''
|'''Tobias, ''#33 The Illusion'''''}}
{{quote|''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, ''#36 The Mutation'''''}}
Line 73 ⟶ 76:
'''Elfangor/Tobias''': Victory without sacrifice? You know better than that.
'''Jake''': You don't always have to give up your principles to win. Isn't there always an alternative to sacrifice if you just step back, look at the big picture and -
'''Elfangor/Tobias''': You know better than that.
|'''''#41 The Familiar'''''}}
{{quote|''Tobias is, like, really into the whole bird thing, isn't he?''|'''David'''}}
Line 88 ⟶ 92:
'''Jake''': Ask again. See if we're clear from the -
''(Jake sees Tobias flying away)''
'''Marco''': Oh. Oh, that's great. That's really great! What a guy. So, he's, what, he's off the clock now? I'm going home.
|'''''#41 The Familiar'''''}}
{{quote|'''''Tobias''': What's going on?
Line 98 ⟶ 103:
'''Tobias''': The others may not say everything Marco says, but basically, they feel the same way he does. They really don't want to be a part of this. On the other hand, nobody really knows where you're coming from and...never mind.
'''Rachel''': You said you could handle it.
'''Tobias''': Okay. I don't think anyone really understands where you're coming from, Rachel. You're too into it and, for a while, we were all right with that. But now it's kind of starting to freak everybody out.
|'''''#48 The Return'''''}}
{{quote|''Well? Scared? You should be.''|'''Rachel, ''#54 The Beginning'''''}}
Line 106 ⟶ 112:
'''Gen. Doubleday''': My help? ''You'' want ''my'' help? I'm an Army general, son. Four star. I take my orders from a chain of command, and that ain't you.
'''Jake''': Your chain of command is almost certainly infiltrated by Yeerks. So is this base. Probably even this room. You don't know if the orders you get are legitimate or not, and you don't know if the orders you give are going to be obeyed. Your power only extends as far as the first Controller in your staff.
'''Gen. Doubleday''': Get the hell out of my headquarters.
|'''''#53 The Answer'''''}}
{{quote|''I'm not crazy. I am not some kind of nut.''|'''Rachel, ''repeated line'''''}}
{{quote|'''''The Ellimist''': I see. Afraid to play a game you might lose. A coward after all.
'''Crayak''': A survivor, Ellimist.
|'''''The Ellimist Chronicles'''''}}
{{quote|''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'''''}}
Line 119 ⟶ 127:
{{quote|''Sorry, fighting a guerilla war against parasitic aliens has amped up my already rampant paranoia.''|'''Marco'''}}
{{quote|''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'''''}}
