while the tyranids aren't the most loquacious of species, here's a couple quotes pertaining to tyranidness:

"dis ain't no stinkin' scrap against puny gits dat run and hide behind walls when the killing starts, dis is proper fightin'" - pirate-warboss skarfang.

"shields! raise the shields before that thing comes ba..." - last words of princeps johrah, legio annihilator.

"a new tyrant joined the fray and, in an eyblink, the whole character of the swarm changed. the ravening berserker-spirit that had driven the tyranids onto the ridge was gone as if it had never existed. left in its place was something cannier and infinitely more worrisome.

it was then i knew the battle to be lost" - ultramarines sergeant telion.

"there is a cancer eating at the imperium. with each decade it advances deeper leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. this horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose which functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bio-engineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. we have given the horror a name to salve our fears: we call it the tyranid race, but if it is aware of us at all it must know us only as prey." - inquisitor czevak at the conclave of har.
