“I sometimes wonder if my last words on this earth will be something like, 'Oh, I knew this wouldn't work.”

“And I knew it was true, that my words were made of stones, that they would last and I would climb them.”

“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.”

“Give me liberty or give me death.' A human named Patrick Henry said that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew before they came to conquer Earth that humans said things like that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew what they were getting into." -Aximili Esgarrouth Isthill”

“If I didn't know the ending of a story, I wouldn't begin. I always write my last lines, my last paragraph first, and then I go back and work towards it. I know where I'm going. I know what my goal is. And how I get there is God's grace.”

“Who are you and why are you here?''I'm here to kill you.''Oh. I knew there was something about you I liked.”
