Sentences you'll never forget

<Hope...>

One word so powerful, and the last one spoken by Elfangor before Visser Three murdered him.

Tattooed on my ankle and Patty's wrist

I'll always remember Erek berating Jake for killing the 17,000 helpless Yeerks as a 'diversion'...

"A what?  What did you need?  A diversion?  You're telling me you needed a diversion so you slaughtered 17,000 helpless, thinking beings?"

Gives me chills.

[estrid]

that sentence, in fact that whole scenario always pissed me off for the exact opposite reason. if the yeerks were fighting back in their helpless hosts, and the helpless hosts were killed in battle, then it was ok to kill the yeerk. but to kill the yeerk itself and save the host was bad? wth?

end off topic/sorta on topic rant had to say it while it was there. but i know there is a thread i made for that somewhere.

[Myitt]

 Yeah, but the point was, they were SEVENTEEN-THOUSAND helpless prisoners of war.  Completely different, and besides, the Animorphs tried not to kill hosts, especially human hosts.

 "Then she showed me the cake. She lit a candle and I blew it out by
flapping my wing. Neither of us sang "Happy Birthday." But she said it.
 
"Happy birthday, Tobias." "

I like it when Tobias comes in human morph to Rachel's ceremony and Rachel sees him, and he says, "Hi Rachel" in The Change.

[Darth Zakryn]

"Okay, fine, Rachel. You want to do this, fine. I think you're the bravest member of the group. I think in a bad fight I'd rather have you with me than anyone else. But yeah, Rachel, I think there's something pretty dark down inside you. I think you're the only one of us who would be disappointed if all this ended tomorrow. Cassie hates all this, Marco has personal reasons for being in this war, Ax just wants to go home and fight Yeerks with his own people, Tobias . . . who knows what Tobias wants anymore? But you, Rachel, you love it. It's what makes you so brave. It's what makes you so dangerous to the Yeerks." - Jake, #22

For some reason that just really got to me because it's true, and until then Rachel had never thought that. Makes me wonder what she thought when the others remarked upon her being ruthless?

<You know, it's really a shame I can't get to meet that UPN guy,> I said. <I have a great idea for a new Star Trek series. See, it's way in the future and the Federation has been broken up by the Dominion and only three ships are still —> - Marco, #35

This line just made the Niner in me cry with glee.

"What kind of animal morphs are going to be able to deal with Visser Three when he turns into that big monster that ate the Andalite?" - Jake, #1

"Fleas? No one can kill fleas. We'll itch him to death." - Marco, #1

Made me lol.

"To the Yeerk pool! Let's get some flamethrowers!" - Mean Rachel, #32

That line is just so ridiculously exaggerated that you can't help but lol at it.

Humans seemed to exist across too broad a spectrum to even be considered a single species. - Ax, MM #3

Definitely. It's way too true. Unless of course we get into space and find species even more divided than we are!

"Visser Three would trade his Blade ship for your head on a stick." - Rachel, #22

Also made me lol. Just put to mind an image of Visser Three in his quarters with all his torture instruments and carefully adding a pike with Jake's head on it.

"Cold, man. The Marco dude? He was just cold." - #30

Completely true. He would have killed Karen just to preserve their secrets rather than HOLD HER FOR THREE FREAKIN' DAYS. Cold man doesn't even BEGIN to describe him. All those who think Marco should be tried for war crimes?

And to the off topic debate... a link.

And a quote.

And as they roared into Germany, Russian soldiers unleashed their pent-up fury upon German soldiers and civilians alike, exacting a revenge without limits upon Hitler's people for all that the Nazis had done in Russia. One such town caught up in the maelstrom was Demmin in northeastern Germany where women tried to stave off Russian sexual assaults. Waltraud Reski, a schoolgirl at the time, recalled: "The women were disguised, but you can tell if a woman has a good figure, and they found my mother again and again, and treated her terribly. You can't imagine what it was like for her to be raped ten or twenty times a day. You're hardly human anymore. My mother became an entirely different person for the rest of her life."

That is all.

EDIT: Please stay on the topic of quotes from ANIMORPHS. And please put such topics in spoilers

[warren_bearclaw]

(Hey Zakryn, I think that you should put that last comment in spoilers, at the least. We do have some pretty young kids on here....)

It was a dark and stormy night.
Sorry, I've always wanted to write that. But it really was a dark and stormy night.

Rachel, Book #2.... I love that!

[LorenF15]

"Message received, Father." kills me every. single. time. the Elfangor/Loren/Tobias dynamic always fascinated me!

XD I'd nearly forgotten about that! I always loved that bit.

The monsters in our valley were destroyed that day. Only a very few survived. But that was all right, because we didn't need monsters anymore. We had become them.

I freaking love the Hork-Bajir Chronicles.

[Claris]

Pretty much all the sentences in The Beginning. Especially in Cassie's Chapter 6, when she says, "Beautiful Rachel. Poor Tom." No idea why, but I've always remembered that for some reason. And of course, the Ellimist's "You were good. You mattered."

[yunyun]

i know tons! sorry if i repeated some

"so let me get this straight - we are now making decisions based on Tobias and Cassie's dreams,right?And yet my dreams are totally ignored.The fact that i once dreamed about staying home and watching TV in total safety,that means nothing right?"-Marco

i practically memorized chap 2 in book 12  "my mom is  giving us a presentation on endangered animals.A presentation.To us" "why do they even have a python exhibit?All they ever do is lie there.That snake might as well be fake,now leopards sure,they move around,they give you dirty looks,but pythons?" "she thinks she has to be entertaining.It's dangerous when mom tries to be entertaining.See, she'll start talking about Snoop Dog,Boys are men and nice is neat" "Okay, Snoopy Diggy Dog and Boys 2 Men i get,but whats nice is neat?" "NIN, you know nine inch nails?i wanted to get the new CD but i was broke so i told my mom NIN stands for nice is neat""you?No way.That sounds like something Marco came up with" "Okay,that was Marco's idea.He said "what parent can resist a band named Nice Is Neat?" See he wanted the CD to make this thing... anyway it worked" "Cassie,Cassie,Cassie,when you start taking advice from Marco,the end of civilization is very near.Besides,you and nine inch nails?do you even like that band?" "actually, they're a bit depressed and grim for me,although it would be perfect for my mood today

And,of corse "Let's do it!"

I know I just posted but I came across this little gem while browsing MM4

Power enough to win?  No. Power enough to fight? Ah, yes. Just enough, little Jake, here is just enough power to imprison you in a cage of duty, to make you fight.

[LorenF15]

From The Predator: "I guess it should have been funny. The wolf and the tiger, sharing a
tender moment. But all it did was make me a little jealous. They had
each other."
