“<Erek didn’t believe us when we said we couldn’t find a way to get to his ship,> Jake said. <He said, ‘You will. We have faith in you.’>

<Wow. And I thought the Chee were so smart,> Marco said. <I mean, Erek’s spent time with us. You think he’d know better than to trust us.>”

”'What, exactly, are you doing here?’ I demanded, not very calmly.

David shrugged. ‘Hanging out. Watching some tube. Sleeping in a normal bed. What’s that, a crime?’

'Yeah, it is a crime,’ I said. 'You didn’t pay for this room.’

'It was empty. So what?’

I pointed at the broken window we’d spotted from outside. 'You broke a window to get in.’

David smirked. 'Hey, a bird broke a window, okay? A bird used a rock to dive-bomb the glass. Is that a crime? I don’t think so. Officer, arrest that eagle? That’s not happening.’

'You’re not talking to someone who doesn’t know what’s what, okay? The eagle morph is just a body and basic instincts. The mind is yours. Eagles don’t bust into Holiday Inns. That was you.’

David flopped back onto the bed and picked up the remote control. He started flipping channels, ignoring me.

'Listen, David, we don’t break laws. Not unless absolutely necessary. We don’t hurt innocent people. We have to control how we behave. We’re not a bunch of criminals.'”

“On Star Trek  you see aliens speak English all the time. Like that would be normal. But in real life when you encounter an alien speaking English, it’s just weird. You figure at the very least they should be speaking Russian or Japanese or something.”

“What could be more relaxing than going on a hike with a couple of fugitive space goblins while being hunted by giant worms and probably Visser Three himself? And all the time knowing we’re following the plan of an all-powerful galactic pain-in-the-butt who gets us to do all his dirty work?”

“<Pass on the left, pass on the left! Not on the right!>

‘Hey, I’m cool now,’ Marco yelled back through the open back window of the truck. 'This is just like the game now. No problem-o.’

<It isn’t dark on the video game.>

'Sure. The part with the tunnel.’

<You mean the part where you always crash and burn?>”

Birthday Aniquotes

Time for a new post about the birthday quote initiative! I decided to make things easier for everyone (including myself) and create a form for birthday requests.

So, if you would like a quote picked for you to be posted on your birthday, just fill out the form linked below, and you'll be added to the list! Also, I've had at least one person request a quote for a friend's birthday, and I thought that was nice, so if you want to do that as well, go for it!

I can’t promise specific quotes because I want to avoid a lot of repeats, but give me a few requests (characters, books, themes, ships, etc.) and I’ll match at least one of them, more if I can.

I will tag you in the post and wish you a happy birthday, but if you’d rather I didn’t, there's a place in the form to say so.

There are no deadlines - you can send me a request any time, but don’t wait until the day of or day before your birthday or I might not see it in time.

There’s also no limit: if you already sent a request this past year, and you want to do it again for your next birthday, that is totally fine!

I’ll pin this post, and reblog it periodically as a reminder.

“Looks are not the important thing. It’s what’s in your head that counts.”

- Rachel, Book #2: The Visitor, pg. 17 (by K.A. Applegate)

[aniquotes]

“<Erek has been teaching me how to play Rock, Scissor, Paper. Rock smashing scissor I understand,> Ax said. <And scissor cutting paper. But not paper wrapping rock. Rocks do not breathe, correct? So how would this hurt them?>

‘Paper beating rock. It is sort of weird,’ I answered.

<Weird, yes. That is why I now owe Erek one million and seven dollars,> Ax told me.

I raised my eyebrows at Erek. He shrugged.

<One million and seven dollars. Is that a great deal of money?> Ax asked.

'It’s up there,’ I answered, giving his arm a quick pat.

Ax pointed his stalk eyes toward the barn roof. <I don’t see it up there,> he said.

'I mean it’s a lot. A lot of money,’ I explained.”

“<Ax, keep track of the time, okay?>

<Yes, Prince Jake.>

<You know I don’t want you to call me Prince Jake. I am not a prince.>

<Yes, Prince Jake, I know.>

<Good, as long as we’re clear on that.>”

- Book #16: The Warning (Jake), pg. 42 (by K.A. Applegate)

[aniquotes]

“'Don’t lie to us, Guide. Have you ever met an Andalite before?’

Guide shot a nervous glance at Ax. <No.>

‘Well, Andalites have the power to mind-meld with people. They can look right inside their thoughts and know if they’re lying, and if you are lying, they make your head explode.’

No one cracked a smile. Although Marco had to struggle.

<Now Ax is a Vulcan?> Tobias asked me in private thought-speak.”

Happy birthday, @andalight!

"'Okay, then answer this, Ellimist: Did I... did I make a difference? My life, and my... my death... was I worth it? Did my life really matter?'

'Yes. You were brave. You were strong. You were good. You mattered.'

'Yeah. Okay, then. Okay, then.'

A small strand of space-time went dark and coiled into nothingness."
