The Andalite Chronicles

My name is Elfangor.  I am an Andalite prince.  And I am about to die.

<And if they put up a fight, we put some tail into them!>
The captain, the prince, the T.O., every warrior on the bridge, and I all stared at Arbron like he was insane.  Which he obviously was.
--Arbron, Elfangor

"Maybe I'm with the wrong aliens.  Maybe it's too bad I wasn't grabbed by the Yeerks.  They sound like the winners."
<You may be right, human.  But you'd better hope you're not.>
--Chapman, Alloran

<Come on, Arbron.  Demorph.>
<I really wish I could, Elfangor.  I really wish I could.>
--Elfangor, Arbron

I could have killed him.  He knew that, of course.  He knew that no Taxxon could hope to outfight an Andalite.  But I could not kill him.  Not even if that's what he wanted.
--Elfangor

<Don't pity me, Elfangor.  I am glad I didn't die.  Any life is better than none.  And no matter how awful things seem, there is always meaning and purpose to be found.>
--Arbron

<But you can't win.>
<Aren't lost causes sometimes the best causes, Elfangor?>
--Elfangor, Arbron

"Is life always this insane for you space cadets?"
<Oh, yes.  Infiltrate the Taxxon homeworld, help inspire a Taxxon civil war, mutiny against my prince, and locate the Time Matrix, all in the company of a pair of strange, two-legged aliens...Business as usual.>
--Loren, Elfangor

I had created the abomination!
--Elfangor

<What is softball?>
"It's a game we play."
<And you hit people in the face with rocks?>
"Not usually."
--Elfangor, Loren

<What is this thing we are on?>
"It's a street."
<What does it do?>
--Elfangor, Loren

"What are you doing in here?"...
"What am I doing here?  What are you doing here?"
"I live here.  This is my home."
"Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul, this is not your home."
--Elfangor, Ellimist

YOU HAVE A SON, ELFANGOR.
<No!  You can't take me away!  I have a son!  That changes everything!  Don't take me away!>
--Ellimist, Elfangor

My hirac delest is done.  I go in peace to my death.  And I leave as my last legacy a single word for all the free peoples of the galaxy.
<Hope...>
--Elfangor
