One most memorable to me, though I admit I had to look it for the exact wording:

In all the universe, no greater beauty.
In a thousand, thousand worlds, no greater art than this

-The Ellimist book 7

This is one of the most powerful pieces ever written in an Animorph book, still chilling to this day. Hork-Bajir Chronicles.

Dak Hamee to Aldrea:  

"You almighty Andalites. There is no limit to your arrogance, is there? Well, let me tell you something: We may be simple people. But we don't use biology to invent monsters. And we don't enslave other species. And we don't unleash a plague of parasites on the galaxy, endangering every other free species, and then go swaggering around like the lords of the universe. No, we're too simple for all that. We're too stupid to lie and manipulate. We're too stupid to be ruthless. We're too stupid to know how to build powerful weapons designed to annihilate our enemies. And until you came, Andalite, we were too stupid to know how to kill."

Elfangor's line "Out of a respect for life, you have to endure" from book #33.

Still sticks with me to this day, and i actually use it when advising people. Imagine that!
"Do you hate trash cans? Is that your problem? Do you just HATE TRASH CANS?!!"

and

"It's OAT-freaking-MEAL!"

as well as

"Um . . . Jake? It's a tiger."

Nostalgic is what this is. Funniest quotes ever!
"Do you hate trash cans? Is that your problem? Do you just HATE TRASH CANS?!!"

indeed.

"see? still think my Idea is nuts? wait a minute, it is nuts. what's the matter with me? am i insane?" - marco
"water? afraid? me?" - tobias
"see our might and tremble!" - helmacrons
"i see your might. where's your tremble?"

I literally LOL right now. Stuff that I will NEVER forget.

There was another one, I think book #13?

Marco (singing): Off we go, into the blue yonder. Flying high above into the sun!
Rachel: Marco? Why are you still singing when I clearly want you to shut up?

Where sky meets sea, Andalite, human, and Leeran are joined as allies. Each with our weaknesses. Each with our strengths.

For me, that line was just chilling. I'm not even sure if that was the right word.

This must be what it's like to go insane.

You're not even in high school yet and you're the most wanted person in the Yeerk Empire. Visser Three would trade his blade ship for your head on a stick.

Rachel to Jake in book 22.
Really forces you to have some respect for Jake. Plus the idea of V3 admiring his brand new Jake's-head-on-a-stick comes to me every time

<l used to be,> [Tobias] said. <l, um, well . . . well, I'm not exactly the
same as I used to be. I've changed.>
 
"Jara Hamee change, too. Not free. Now free."


Tobias... Trapped as a hawk or freed as a hawk?

What does it mean to be free?

From #28

As you know, energy expenditure
for a force field increases exponentially. To put it in simple terms, if
a field containing ten thousand of your cubic feet uses energy denoted
as x, a field containing twenty thousand of your cubic feet will not use
2x, but rather x cubed.>
"Hey!" Cassie said in alarm. "I actually understood that. I never
understand his technical explanations. What's happening to me?"

I remember this because I still couldn't figure out what Ax was talking about.

Visser 2 to Ax in #46.

"Would you have done it Andalite? Would you really have done it?"

#22:

Jake: I worry about you, Rachel. More than any of the others except Tobias.
Rachel: Worry about me? Like when all this is over you'll go back to being a mediocre basketball player and a decent student?

Marco in #30:

 "Cold, man. The Marco dude? He was just cold."

yeah definitely one of the best, though i was always more partial to "you andalites have more respect for the bloodthirsty yeerks or the cowardly arn than the hork bajir who fight and die by your side.  inteligence is all that matters to you people isnt it?"  etc.

Tobias: They'll come. The Andalites will come. And until then...
Jake: (nods and wipes tears) Yeah. Until then, we fight.

[Book 1]


Tobias: But how does the butterfly know when to beat its wings?
Rachel: It doesn't. I guess it beats its wings the best it can, and hopes it will all work it. It's a butterfly. If just does what butterflies do.
Marco: And what do we do, Xena, Warrior Princess?
Rachel: (grinning) We kick Yeerk butt.

[Book 7]
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Humans seemed to exist across too broad a spectrum to even be considered a single species.
