Quote by K. A. Applegate

“I guess no one else watched the news last night?" "I was busy watching my taped reruns of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," Marco said, giving Rachel a sly look. "Last night it was the one where it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood." Jake rolled his eyes up to the ceiling, the way he'd done a million times before when Marco said something irrelevant or annoying. -Animorphs #4, The Message page 11”

“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”

“Scientists believe that sharks are one of the oldest species of animals still in existence. Nature built them as perfect predators. Perfect killing machines. Nature hasn't had to revise or update them much. They were built right the first time. Dolphins are very different. Scientists say that millions of years ago, dolphins were land animals. Sea mammals not very different from humans and other mammals. They evolved their way back into the ocean. Part of that evolution included learning to cope with predators, with killer whales and sharks. I don't now what sea the Taxxon race evolved in. I don't know what natural predators they faced there. But they were not ready for this ocean. They were not ready to go one-on-one with the masters of Earth's deep seas. They were no match for dolphin or shark. -Animorphs #4, The Visitor page 69”

“More clothing? Clo. Clo-theeeeing. Clo-theeing?" Ax said. "Ax? Dont do that," I said. "What? Wha wha wha. Tuh." "That. Where you play with the sounds. Just say what you need to say, and stop." ... "People are going to think he's weird," Rachel said, sounding exasperated. "Fortunately, it's the mal on a Saturday morning," I pointed out. "It'll be full of weird people." "Not this weird," Rachel said. "This could be trouble." "isn't it a little late for you to admit that I was right and this idea is insane?" I saked her. "Besides, no need to worry. I'll be there." "Great, then it's sure to be a disaster." ... "So far so good," Jake said as we headed into the mall. I rolled my eyes. "Jake? Do me a favor. Don't ever say 'so far, so good.' The only time ayone ever says 'so far, s good' is right before everything blows up in his face." "So far. So far. Farrrrrr. Faaaar," Ax said, trying out the sounds. "So. Sssso far so so so good." "Oh, man," I said. -Animorphs #5, The Predator page 16”
