Sentences you'll never forget

[NateSean]

So here is my question again: Why is she so much against Animorphs?

She doesn't order her Happy Meals with "extra happy" does she?

i doubt she even goes to mcdonalds, i'll ask if she goes to mcdonalds

[estrid]

the first 2 pages are so captivating tho!

[yunyun]

just read 2 books this eekend and now these a few sentences are stuck in my head

if only you weren't such a harsh person Rachel...
i was smarter tha any of you...

<...But there were a lot who didn't make it,Mr Carpenter Jake,Richard.Emily and Lewis lost their dad>

I'm not sure where exactly this is or why I've remembered it when I've forgotten so many other things about the books, but (I think it's at the beginning of one of the books) there's this one scene where Marco and Jake are arguing over whether or not a food can taste like a color.  Or maybe it just talks about that argument.  It's so awesome because, on the one hand, it's completely ridiculous, but if you start thinking about too much you start wonder if you're doing things like changing your sense of taste because of expectation from visual stimuli.

Of course there are some reasons things do taste like colors.  We have pretty generic pairings of artificial flavor and color.  Also, if you're in need of a particular amino acid, foods of the appropriate color with all sound very appealing to you, even if their taste is pretty dissimilar (i.e. tomatoes and strawberries).

But mostly that argument is awesome!

me and my friend always have totally random argumets,once we argued over a pencil,about if harry potter is better or animorphs(she is totally against animorphs)

So here is my question again: Why is she so much against Animorphs?

IDK she said she read 2 pages of the book and got so bored,but it's only 2 pages,you need to read like at least a few chapters and i find the first few chapters of harry potter boring.

lol She can't judge after only 2 pages ^^' Tell her that if she wants to criticize Animorphs, she should read at least one volume. Not less. The best would be even the entire series, but... at least one volume. Before she does that, she can't really judge the story. Try that

[Josh (J)]

While we're off-topic, my friend just hates them. But I'll give her this much: she read the first book and started the second. She thinks they're terrible.

"What is this, Planet of the Salesmen?" Marco demanded. "Back off! All
of you, back off!"
 
"Man, I thought there were a lot of salespeople at Nordstrom's, but this
is nuts. I'll take care of this. I know how to get rid of pushy
salespeople." Rachel stepped out front, hands on her
 
 hips. "We're just here to use the bathroom. Can you tell me where the
ladies' room is?"
 
The Iskoort stared, goggle-eyed. Several of them wandered away. The
others continued staring at us, waiting to see if we'd loosen up and do
some business.
 
I looked at Cassie and we both sighed at the same time.

Cassie jumped into my arms and I wrapped her up tight and before I knew
it I was kissing her on her lips and she was kissing me back.
 
"It's about time," Rachel grumbled.

nicky:then i like it,the crayack wipes out the animorphs

luckily,i convinced nicky's best friend to read animorphs,but she's finishing the prophet of yonwood and will read the invasion after.

Defintly the trash cans bit (lol) and that bit in Time of the Dino's when the T-Rex dies and they make shoes out of it oh AND that bit where they can't morph the dinos anymore when they get back.

@Yunyun: I see ^^' I also have hard time to make other people try things I like (TVshows, books...) They usually don't want to give a try.

[A ghost you know]

"Ah. When will I receive ree-seeeve the cookies-zuh? They are delicious, mmm-mmm."
"Well, to tell you the truth, the nurses don't want you around at cookie time. You made quite a scene yesterday."
This was disturbing news. "No cookies?"
He shook his head back and forth and looked at me with his two small eyes located on the front of his face. "No cookies."
"Then I must go elsewhere in search of cookies," I said. "The cookies formed by two thin, round, black discs with a layer of adhesive white substance between them are the finest accomplishment of your species!"
"My species?"
I had made a mistake. I had allowed my agitation over the cookies to cause me to be careless. This was not the time to reveal myself. Humans use their mouths for eating — much as the Blue Blade — which I learned the humans call a shark. But humans possess an incredible sense that goes beyond anything the shark could boast: taste. Taste! And such tastes! Cigarette butts, baloney sandwiches, grape juice, Vaseline, and best of all, the indescribably vibrant, mind-altering, overwhelming taste of cookies!
Especially the cookies formed by two thin, round, black discs with a layer of adhesive white substance between. Someday I hope my fellow Andalites will be able to visit Earth and morph to human simply for the intense pleasure to be had from eating cookies with a mouth. "I meant our species."
"You said your species."
"Evidently I am insane. May I go now?"
The human raised his hands vertically and said, "Why me, Lord? Why?"

Honestly, there are so many good, inspiring quotes from the whole series. But I felt that the ones always at the end of the book were the most powerful. Ex: In the Capture at the very end when Jake half morphs a wolf and calls Tom, Cassie (or rachel) says "Do you think he heard you?" and Jake says "He heard." and then the book ends. Its things like that, that carry a lot of emotion from the books on them 

[rachel91]

paraphrasing and not sure of anyone added these:

Tobias ~ 33
Go away, little boy. The hawk understood because it understood nothing. Go away.

Rachel ~ 54
To the ellimist.
"Did I matter?"
"Yes, you were good. You were important. You mattered."

Dak Hamee ~ Hork-Bajir Chronicles
We didn't need the monsters. We had become them.

Esplin 9466 ~ Hork Bajir Chronicles
She (Aldrea) was beautiful. I would tell her that one day. Soon.
When she was my host.

Visser 4: You can't kill me!
Rachel : Why not? You Killed someone I love (Jake).

This is from 37
"Somebody grab me a Laa-Laa doll when we're inside okay?" marco said "i really like that little yellow one."
I (Rachel) gave him a look. you know the one
"What?" he said defensivle. "i'll send the manager a check tomorrow. even though he's a yeerk. its not like im going to steal it or anything."
"Uh marco, you do know that Teletubbies are for preschoolers, right?" cassie asked
<"eh-oh, laa-laa"> Ax said <big hug>

I remember laughing so hard when i read that. the fact that an intelligent alien was watching teletubbies was just so funny

[Aquilai]

<l didn't fall asleep,> Ax said, sounding injured. <I merely let my mind wander, and became very calm and restful and not completely alert.> -Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, 17 The Underground

The Yeerks were moving swiftly, straight toward the parade. Suddenly, out jumped a Daffy Duck! Right in Visser Three's path. The
Yeerk visser snapped his deadly tail. It flew through the air and Daffy's head went rolling across the ground.
<Noooo!> I cried.
The girl wearing the costume stuck her head up and said, "Hey! What's the matter with you?"
<Aaaahhhh!> the visser moaned. <What kind of creature is that?>
