Quote by K. A. Applegate

“Jake had to stay home," Marco said. "Some thing about his dad grounding him." "Why would his dad ground him?" "How do I know?" Marco said, sounding grouchy. "You know how parents are. Don't ask me to explain them." -Animorphs #2, The Visitor page 67”

“I drifted over to the bulletin board and read '"Don't think there are no crocodiles just because the water is calm" - Malayan Proverb.' Just beside that was, "' If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles," - Sun Tzu." It made me a little sad. In the good old days, Rachel would have had a bunch of quotes about being a good person or whatever. It just showed how much our lives had changed. In a very short time we had all grown accustomed to a world of fear and danger. We had arrived at Rachel's house separately. We had each checked to make sure we weren't being followed. We had planed the afternoon in advance to be sure that Rachel's mom and her two sisters would be out. We had even had Tobias fly over the area looking for anything unusual. That's what our lives had become. That and quotations full of paranoia and battle. -Animorphs #4, The Message page 10”

“Okay," Jake said, "Here's what we know. Or at least, what we think we know." We were all at Rachel's house again. It was a few hours after I had gone to see Marco. Tobias was perched on the windowsill. He didn't feel all that comfortable being inside for long. He liked the feel of the wind and the pen air. ... "Second, Cassie believes she can find this Andalite, thanks to the information from the whale." Everyone kept a straight face for about ten seconds. Then, all at once, everyone cracked up. "Information from a whale," Marco repeated, giggling. Tobias asked. -Animorphs #4, The Visitor page 46”

“I have a more important question," Rachel said. "How do we know when we're there? You know, our destination." Jake made a "who knows?" face. "I figure this ship is going like, what, twenty miles per hour? Figure an hour, and that puts us twenty miles out, right?" Rachel pointed a finger at her forehead and said, "Jake's a total mathematical genius. One hour at twenty miles per hour. Right away he figures out that's twenty miles." -Animorphs #4, The Visitor page 51”

"Information from a whale," Marco repeated, giggling. "Have our lives gotten really weird, or is it just me?" Tobias asked. -Animorphs #4, The Visitor page 46”

“He started to move on, but I held his arm tightly. "Wait, wait. I don't think I understand you. What do you mean, they eliminate species?" "They eliminate them. They will make Earth as much like the Yeerk home world as possible. They will destroy most of the plants and all of the animal species except those they eat." I let go of his arm. I rocked back and grabbed at the air for balance. I felt like I'd been hit by a far. "No," I whispered. "That can't be. You're just saying that because you don't like Yeerks." The others were staring. No one was moving. Ax looked around at us. His eyes narrowed. "Don't you know? Don't you know whom you're fighting?" "We know they take over people's minds," Rachel said weakly. "Yes. And that is one of their great crimes. But the Yeerks are more than that. Yeerks are killers of worlds. Murderers of all life. Hated and feared throughout the galaxy. They are a plague that spreads from world to world, leaving nothing but desolation and slavery and misery in their wake." -Animorphs #4, The Visitor page 64”
