quotes:
- "\"I was there, at the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind. It began in the Earth year 2257 with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations, located deep in neutral space. It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats and travelers from a hundred worlds. It could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risk because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form, a dream of a galaxy without war, where species from different worlds could live side-by-side in mutual respect, a dream that was endangered as never before by the arrival of one man on a mission of destruction. Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story.\" -- Ambassador Londo Mollari's opening in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""

- "\"Notice the waves, each moving in its own order, predictable, unchanging. But drop in a single stone and see how the pattern changes. Everything around it is altered.\" -- Ambassador Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"On my world, there are books, thousands of pages, about the power of one mind to change the Universe, but none said it as clearly as this.\" -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"Do you not have files on the Vorlons?\" \"Absolutely. Very large files. There's nothing in them, of course. How much do *you* have?\" \"More than you it would seem. Naturally it's all classified.\" \"Naturally.\" -- Delenn and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"Here is a copy of everything I have. It may be of use. If anyone asks, say it fell from the sky.\" -- Delenn to Sinclair about Vorlon files in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"Commander, you know everything about your stone garden. But clearly, you have not spent nearly enough time looking at it.\" -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"Damn. You see, it's your fault. You're bad luck. I've always said that about him. Now, come on, come on. Look, you're a security chief. Shouldn't you be out *securing* something?\" -- Londo to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""

- "\"Would you prefer to be conscious or unconscious during the mating? I would prefer conscious, but I don't know what your .. pleasure threshold is.\" -- G'Kar to Lyta Alexander in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"We were talking the other day about how nobody has seen a Vorlon before. And he said that according to legend, one human *did* see a Vorlon, and turned to stone.\" \"Well, that's just a legend.\" \"Probably.\" \"Probably.\" -- Takashima and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""

- "\"I suppose there'll be a war now, hmm? All that running around and shooting at one another. You would've thought sooner or later it would go out of fashion.\" -- Ambassador Londo Mollari to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"You make very good sharks, Mr. Garibaldi. We were pretty good sharks ourselves once, but somehow, along the way, we forgot how to bite. There was a time when this whole quadrant belonged to us. What are we now? Twelve worlds and a thousand monuments to past glories. Living off memories and stories, selling *trinkets*.\" -- Londo to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"My god, man. We've become a tourist attraction. 'See the great Centauri Republic -- open 9 to 5, Earth time.'\" -- Londo to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"Nice shark, .. pretty shark.\" -- Londo to his drink in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"I haven't broken the rules in a long time, doctor, so I guess .. I'm about due.\" -- Takashima to Dr. Kyle in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""

- "\"I don't trust telepaths. Never have; never will.\" -- Garibaldi to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""

- "\"We had to stop them, .. no matter what it cost. They came at us out of nowhere. We never had a chance. The sky was full of stars and every star an exploding ship -- one of ours.\" -- Sinclair about the Line in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""

- "\"Delenn, just before he died, the Minbari assassin looked at me and said: 'There's a hole in your mind.'\" \"An old Minbari insult. Nothing you need worry about.\" -- Sinclair and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"I would never tell you anything that was not in your best interest.\" -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"'To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.'\" -- Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"A poem: a story in meter or rhyme.\" \"Ahh. 'There once was a man from Nantucket..'\" \"You've been talking to Garibaldi again, haven't you?\" -- Delenn and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"This is Lieutenant Commander Laurel Takashima. Our docking bays stand ready to receive you. Babylon 5 is open for business.\" -- Takashima in Babylon 5:\"The Gathering\""
- "\"Commander, there's a problem.\" -- LtCmdr. Susan Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"All I'm asking is that you trust me.\" \"Trust you? Londo, my brain will be five days dead before I ever trust a Centauri. The first time we met you people, the first time we met any other civilization, you told us you practically ran the entire galaxy.\" -- Londo and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Appearances aside, we are two completely different species.\" \"A clerical error.\" -- Garibaldi and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Okay, we made a mistake. I'm sorry. Here, open my wrist.\" \"Centauri don't have major arteries in their wrist.\" \"Of course we don't. What do you think, I'm stupid?\" -- Londo and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"It was the Dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal .. all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.\" -- Commander Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Your diligence is commendable. Anything else?\" \"No, I just--\" \"Then, if you'll excuse me, but I'm in the middle of 15 things, all of them annoying. Thank you for coming by.\" -- Ivanova to Winters in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Not the Minbari, it's not their way. They are too honorable to pull something like this.\" \"I'm surprised to hear you describe the Minbari that way. After all, you fought them during the war.\" -- Sinclair and Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"My father always told me: 'The best way to understand someone is to fight him, make him angry. That's when you see the real person.'\" -- Sinclair to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"He taught me everything I know about flying, and combat. He said to ignore the propaganda, focus on what you see. I've never seen the Minbari fight dishonorably. They never pull a sneak attack.\" -- Sinclair to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"So, who are you voting for?\" \"I think I'll vote for Marie Crane. .. I do not like Santiago. I always thought that a leader should have a strong chin. He has no chin and his vice-president has several. This, to me, is not a good combination.\" -- Sinclair and Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"You bastard! You won't get away with this. We'll strike back and we'll strike back hard!\" -- Londo to G'kar in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"The wheel turns, does it not, Ambassador?\" -- G'Kar to Londo in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"We should've wiped out your kind when we had the chance.\" \"What happened? Run out of small children to butcher?\" -- Londo and G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Listen to me, Ambassador. Your time has come and gone. It's our turn now! One night you'll wake up and find our teeth at *your* throat. Sleep well, Ambassador. Sleep lightly.\" -- G'Kar to Londo in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"I apologize for the .. the incident with G'Kar, Commander. It was a mistake. *I* will not repeat it. I *will* kill him though. Sooner or later. Somewhere.\" \"Ambassador.\" \"My people.. We have a way you see. We know how, and sometimes even when, we are going to die. Comes in a dream. In my dream I am an old man, it's 20 years from now, and I *am* dying. My hands wrapped around someone's throat, and his around mine. We have squeezed the life out of each other. The first time I saw G'Kar I recognized him as the one from the dream. It *will* happen. 20 years from now, we'll die with hands around each others' throats.\" -- Londo and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Commander, please. On the issue of galactic peace, I'm long past innocence and fast approaching apathy. It's all a game -- a paper fantasy of names and borders. Only one thing matters, Commander. Blood calls out for blood.\" -- Londo to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"If Carn is dead, there will be war. Today, tomorrow, the day after, it doesn't matter. If it's the last thing I do, if it's the last breath I take, there will be war. This I swear to you, Commander. This I swear.\" -- Londo to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"You eat like a starving man.\" \"Seeing death has the way of doing that to me.\" -- Ivanova and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"If you ask me, the universe is going to hell in a handbasket.\" -- Garibaldi to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"They are alone. They are a dying people. We should let them pass.\" \"Who? The Narn or the Centauri?\" \"Yes.\" -- Kosh and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Mr. Garibaldi, you are sitting in *my* station, using *my* equipment. Is there a reason for this, or to save time should I just go ahead and snap your hands off at the wrist?\" -- Ivanova to Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"The Council, the Council can go to hell. And the emergency session can go to hell. And you, you can go to hell too. I wouldn't want you to feel left out!\" -- Londo to Vir Cotto in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Londo, Londo, *why* are you doing this?\" \"Because, we are a race of lunatics and cowards.\" -- Vir and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Well, unlike me, the Lieutenant Commander takes a while to warm up to people, especially when she's working.\" -- Garibaldi to Winters in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"I will confess that I look forward to the day when we have cleansed the Universe of the Centauri and carved their bones into little flutes for Narn children. It is a dream I have.\" \"Be careful, Ambassador. Not every dream I've heard lately ends well for you.\" -- G'Kar and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"We've had plenty of experience with sneak attacks. Pearl Harbor, the terrorists' nuking of San Diego, the destruction of our first Mars colony. It's a long and bloody history. Do you know what we learned from it? That a sneak attack is the first resort of a coward.\" -- Sinclair to G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"What's wrong, Ambassador? Don't have the guts for a fair fight?\" -- Sinclair to G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"The Earth Alliance can't go around being the galaxy's policemen.\" -- The Senator to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"To start a war over blood spilled so long ago.. Where does it end? You kill them and take their land. They kill you and take the land back. On and on and on. The cycle of hatred.\" \"*Justice*, not hatred. We have no desire to start a war.\" -- Delenn and G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Mr. Garibaldi! Just now, would you really have killed *me*?\" \"Yes. Yes, I would've, but I'm just as glad I didn't have to. The paperwork's a pain in the butt.\" -- Londo and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Perhaps tomorrow we can start over on better terms.\" \"I very much doubt it. Good night.\" -- Talia and Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Had the silly thing in reverse.\" -- Duck Dodgers in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Commander, there's a problem. Commander?\" -- Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Midnight on the Firing Line\""
- "\"Always this busy around here?\" \"Yes. We like it that way.\" -- Dr. Franklin and LtCmdr. Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"If I can't make it, you'll have to blow up that ship before it hits.\" \"Why not destroy it now?\" \"First contact protocol, Lieutenant Commander. Only when conditions present a clear and present danger. If this is a new technology, a new race, I want that ship intact.\" \"This *isn't* a clear and present danger? I must read the rulebook again.\" -- Sinclair and Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"Send it away, while you still can.\" -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"No. I have been to your world. Can you feel it?\" \"Feel what?\" \"Low. Quick. Muffled. Terrified. It comes. It comes. It comes.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"Quick flash. The deep blue of pain.\" \"Dull. Muffled. Slower now. Closer now. Over your shoulder. It comes. The transition. A shadow. The long exhalation of the spirit. Can you see it, healer? Can you see it?\" \"Gone. Gone now. Gone. Gone. Gone. If you could only see. If you could only see.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"We are not thieves. We are preservers.\" \"I thought that might get your attention.\" \"We act only for the greater good.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"Minbari: pale, bloodless. Look in their eyes and see nothing but mirrors, infinities of reflection. Will not let us help them, no.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"Minbari: jealous, selfish, private. We have saved only a few. Very rare. Rarest of all: their leader, Dukhat, dying. Your fault. Your war. The pinnacle of Minbari evolution. We came. I, others. They made a wall of bodies to stop us. He died .. and his dreams, his ideas .. all that he was, all that he could ever be .. gone, wasted. Jealous. Gone. Gone.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"It's all so brief, isn't it? Typical human lifespan is almost a hundred years, but it's barely a second compared to what's out there. It wouldn't be so bad if life didn't take so long to figure out. Seems you just start to get it right and then .. it's over.\" \"Doesn't matter. If we lived two hundred years, we'd still be human. We'd still make the same mistakes.\" \"You're a pessimist.\" \"I'm *Russian*, Doctor. We understand these things.\" -- Dr. Franklin and LtCmdr. Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"And what will you do then?\" \"Free them, release them.\" \"You mean kill them.\" \"They will join with the souls of all our people. Melt one into another until they are born into the next generation of Minbari. Remove those souls and the whole suffers. We are diminished. Each generation becomes less than the one before.\" \"A great lie. A pretty fantasy. The soul ends with death, unless react to preserve it. We *will* help you .. in spite of yourselves. I know you. You were there at the death of your leader Dukhat.\" \"We stopped you from taking what you had no right to take.\" \"You stopped me from saving him. That is where it began to go wrong. The lost souls. One after another after another. Voices still. I failed because you stopped me.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"I remember. They called you Satai Delenn of the Grey Council. Curious. Curious. What is one of the great leaders of the Minbari doing here playing ambassador?\" -- Soul Hunter #1 to Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"I hate it when you get heroic. It cuts into my business. A man's gotta earn a living, you know?\" -- Garibaldi to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"You would plan such a thing? You would *do* such a thing? Incredible.\" -- Soul Hunter #1 to Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"Why do you fight for her? Don't you understand? She is Satai. She is Satai. I've seen her soul. They're using you. They're *using* *you*!\" -- Soul Hunter #1 to Sinclair about Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"We were right .. about you.\" -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"It can wait. There's always time\" -- Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"If I may ask, what happened to my brother's collection?\" \"Life's full of mysteries. Consider this one of them.\" -- Soul Hunter #2 and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Soul Hunter\""
- "\"Gentlemen, of all things in life, are females not the finest?\" \"On that, Mollari, we can at least agree.\" -- Londo and G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"I am Ko'Dath, the new head of your diplomatic staff.\" \"Yes. I wasn't expecting you for several yea.. days.\" -- Ko'Dath and G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"You know, sometimes I *almost* feel sorry for G'Kar.\" -- Londo to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"What do you want, you moon-faced assassin of joy?\" -- Londo to Vir in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"And after spending a day dealing with Ambassador G'Kar, I long to sink my teeth into something ..\" -- Londo to Adira in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"What if we are seen together? What will people say?\" \"They'll say.. they'll say Ambassador Mollari is a most fortunate man. We Centauri live our lives for appearances, possessions, status, title. These are the things by which we define ourselves. But when I look beneath the mask I am forced to wear, I see only emptyness. And then I think of you .. and I say: to hell with appearances.\" -- Adira and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"And Vir!\" \"Yes, sir?\" \"Don't give away the homeworld.\" -- Londo and Vir in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"Just don't give away the homeworld.\" -- G'Kar to Ko'Dath in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"Keep them talking. I'm going to find Londo and bring him here.\" \"What if he refuses?\" \"Then I hurt him.\" -- Sinclair and Talia Winters in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"I'll even seal it with a kiss.\" \"That should make G'Kar's day.\" -- Londo and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"How are we gonna find this friend of Adira's?\" \"I have a friend or two down here myself.\" \"I take it these are not them.\" -- Sinclair and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"Gold channel opened.\" \"All right lieutenant gremlim. This time your butt is mine.\" -- Computer and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"Oh, the gratitude of the Narn is well known throughout the galaxy.\" -- G'Kar to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"I never knew you could be so devious, Commander.\" \"Coming from you, Ambassador, that's a real compliment.\" -- G'Kar and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"My dear G'Kar. How can I ever thank you? *You* have saved my career, and the honor of the entire Centauri Republic.\" \"*What*?\" -- Londo and G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Born to the Purple\""
- "\"You still haven't told me when the commander is due back?\" \"Soon.\" \"How soon is soon?\" \"Longer than a little while, faster than later.\" -- Mary Ann Cramer and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Commander's a hands-on kind of guy. He'll grab any chance to take out a ship. He's like that.\" -- Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Savor the mystery, Stephen. We don't get nearly enough of them.\" -- Vance Hendricks to Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Nothing in his personnel jacket to suggest a heart condition..\" \"Yes, and exactly which medical school did you attend, Mr. Garibaldi?\" -- Garibaldi and Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"This is a blueprint for living machines. The Vorlons have one. Some people even say the Minbari have them. We haven't seen enough of them up close to get any idea of how they work.\" -- Vance Hendricks to Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"The last time I gave an interview they told me to just relax and say what I really felt. Ten minutes after the broadcast I got transferred to an outpost so far off the starmaps you couldn't find it with a hunting dog and an ouiji board.\" \"Don't sweat it. Just be that charming, efflorescent commander we've all come to know and love. What's the worst that could happen? They fire you, ship you off to the Rim and I get promoted to Commander. I don't see a problem here.\" -- Sinclair and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Stephen. It's been 15 hours. We are gonna grow old and die in here. Stephen? Stephen, there's a Martian war machine parked outside. They'd like to have a word with you about the common cold.\" -- Vance Hendricks to Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"In the last five years, I've seen things off-world you can't even imagine. I've stood in the Abendi desert and watched all seven moons go into eclipse. I've walked in vaults that have been sealed longer than there's been a human race, breathing air that's five million years old. You call that a shortcut, if you will, but I've lived. By God, Stephen, I have *lived*.\" -- Vance Hendricks to Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Don't. You're too young to experience that much pain.\" -- Ivanova to ISN reporter Mary Ann Cramer in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Win, lose or draw, this thing's going to know it was in a fight.\" -- Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"But people can be fooled. So to prevent them from being confused by any misleading instructions from the enemy, they hardwired the machine half of the weapons not to respond to anyone who wasn't pure Ikarran. There's one problem, Commander. How do you define a pure Ikarran, or a pure human? No one is pure. No one.\" -- Franklin to Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"I'm gonna try and make it mad.\" \"Make it mad? Are you nuts? Commander!\" -- Sinclair and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"You forgot the first rule of a fanatic. When you become obsessed with the enemy, you *become* the enemy.\" -- Sinclair to 'Tular' in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Interplanetary Expeditions, the corporation that financed the dig on Ikarra 7 is a front. A front for a bio weapons supplier.\" -- Vance Hendricks to Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"I know a lot of guys who came out of the war changed. Some came out better, some came out worse. A lot of them had this problem. The war gave them definition, direction, purpose. Without it they don't know how to fit in anymore, so they keep looking for ways to go out in a blaze of glory. Some people call that being a hero, maybe so. I don't know, I've never been one. Me, I think they're looking for something worth dying for because it's easier than finding something worth living for.\" \"Finished?\" \"Yeah. I guess that covers it.\" \"Michael. I don't have an answer for you. And .. I think maybe I should. Thanks.\" -- Garibaldi and Sinclair in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"If you'll excuse me. If you need me, I'll be over there, getting drunk with the rest of the aliens.\" -- Susan Ivanova to Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Infection\""
- "\"Is it worth it? Should we just pull back, forget the whole thing as a bad idea and take care of our own problems at home?\" \"No. We have to stay here and there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us.

They're rejected, they're unhappy, and they lash out in the only way they can. So, If we could be made aware of these problems as they occur, then we can find these people, we can talk to these people, we can embrace them again in the arms of society, while, at the same time, protecting society from misinformation and harmful ideas.

In the growing war against the Shadows, maybe there are some allies we have not approached yet. Many times over the last million years the Shadows were fought to a stand-still by the First Ones, races immeasurable older than our own. After the last war, a thousand years ago, we believed the first ones went away forever, passing beyond the galactic rim, where no human or minbari has ever ventured. But the vorlons remained, it is possible that some of the others may still be around.\" -- Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Voices of Authority\""

- "\"I asked for Captain Sheridan.\" \"He's busy.\" \"I don't like surprises.\" \"Really? I love them myself. I mean, to me everything is a surprise. You're a surprise, this place is a surprise. You see this? Paper-cut, hurts like hell. Anybody else would be upset, but to me it's just one more wonderful surprise. I mean, I even surprise myself sometimes. Now, I guess there's nothing wrong me surprising you? Right?\" \"Hahhahaha. I *like* you. You're trouble.\" \"Well, thank you.

Within us is the living memory, deeds and stories, civilizations and passions, wars and struggle, great beauty. But in time even we die, unless we find shelter within other living beings. So, we seek out those who have nothing to look forward to, those whose lives are at an end, those who know they will be never more than they are now, those who will never know beauty, or peace, or purpose and we give them that.

And given it's depth, it had been there at least a thousand years. It was in the middle of Martian winter, so it took weeks to dig half of it from the ground.

For a thousand years we have been awaiting for fulfilment of prophecy, and when it finally happens, you scorn it, you reject it. Because you no longer believe it yourselves. 'We stand between the candle and the star, between the darkness and the light.' You say the words, but your hearts are empty, your ears closed to the truth. You stand for nothing but your own petty interests. 'Problems of others are not our concern.' I do not blame you for standing silent in your shame. You, who knew what was coming, but refused to take up the burden of this war. If the warrior caste will not fight, then the rest of us will. If the Council has lost its way, if it will not lead, if we have abandoned our covenant with Valen, the Council should be broken, as was prophecied. We must stand with the others *now*, before it's too late. Between the worker caste and the religious caste we control two thirds of our forces. Do you, I say, listen to the voice of your conscience?

You don't appreciate their strength.\" \"I appreciate their strength all right. And that is why this unfocused aggression worries me. By drawing our forces into dozen smaller wars you have effectively weakened our main line of defense, should they turn an eye to Centauri Prime.\" \"They will not do that.\" \"No, they will not, because you are going to take steps to prevent it.

Being something of an sentimentalist, I got here *first*.\" \"What do you want me to do?\" \"You have encouraged that fool Cartagia to attack worlds that have no value to us. You will now encourage him otherwise. You will bolster our lines of defense around Centauri Prime. And you have nothing more to do with Mr. Morden.

You have not forgiven yourself.\" \"For what?\" \"Being alive.\" -- Marcus and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Ceremonies of Light and Dark\""
- "\"Hello. I'll deal myself in.\" \"I thought we had an understanding. We don't bother you, you don't bother us.\" \"That was before a close friend of mine was abducted by some very bad people. Being rather bad people yourselves, it occurs to me one of you might know where she is.\" \"We don't talk to security, why should we talk to you?\" \"Because if you don't, then in five minutes I'll be the only person of this table still standing. Five minutes after that, I'll be the only person in this room still standing. So, who's in?\" -- Marcus and a 'bad boy' in Babylon 5:\"Ceremonies of Light and Dark\""
- "\"Among Minbari, one individual leads, but we move as one. We are at our best when we move together, and we are at our worst when we move together. When our leader was killed by your people, we went mad together. We stayed mad for a very long time, a maddness that almost consumed your world, until finally, before it was too late, we woke up together. But you, you are alone, you have no one to awaken you from your madness. For this, and nothing else, I feel pity for you.\" -- Delenn to Sniper in Babylon 5:\"Ceremonies of Light and Dark\""

- "\"Hello Delenn. Now, I was thinking, you couldn't come to the ceremony, the ceremony should come to you. I've given up something that really mattered to me, the uniform and everything that goes with it. I've never told anyone before now.. When you were hurt, when you were in my arms, I was ready to kill that guy with my bare hands. I realized I have never told you how much I cared about you, how much you mean to me. I think it's time you knew that. I can no longer imagine my world .. without you in it.

Now, in my little corner of Earth Force the mail still gets delivered.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor meteors, nor alien invasion nor..\" \"Look, this is extortion.\" \"It's business. You see, when my costs go up, I have to pass it down along to the consumer.

- "\"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?

- "\"I'll miss him.\" \"Even if he wasn't Arthur?\" \"Now, now. Next thing you'll be saying he's [Kosh] not Merlin. Merlin was a great teacher, you know.\" \"I'm not hearing this.\" \"They say he aged backwards. That was how he was able to foretell the future by remembering it. Which means he came *from* the future. Maybe he had Arthur form the round table by remembering us.\" -- Marcus and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"A Late Delivery from Avalon\""
- "\"The Emperor has just finished reviewing your reports from Minbar. He asked me to convey his *compliments* on your hard work, even if some parts of it do read as if they were written by Ambassador Mollari.\" \"He advised me on a few things.\" \"I thought as much. Londo belongs to the old school. He thinks we must be protected from the truth. But these are perilous times. We must have accurate information about what other worlds are doing.

You know, I get the one where your teeth are breaking off or falling out and you wake up going aaah!\" \"Oh yeah, I know that one.\" \"Or you are lost in a maze somewhere, or you're someplace I have never been before. This morning I dreamt that I walked into C&C totally .. unprepared for my work.\" \"Oh. Interested in little time-honored psychoanalysis?\" \"No, I'll just bury my soul in the breakfast and ask you to give me some silver-ware.\" -- Ivanova and Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Sic Transit Vir\""
- "\"I have already dealt with all that.\" \"Consciously, but from what you are saying, subconsciously you are still trying to work it all through. You don't know where you fit anymore, how to define yourself, you are feeling vulnerable, lost, and exposed. It's all perfectly obvious and completely understandable.\" -- Ivanova and Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Sic Transit Vir\""
- "\"It'll pass. Your subconscious just needs to work it all through. Hey, it could be worse, you could be having dreams where you are showing up to work naked. You would be in real trouble.\" -- Sheridan to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Sic Transit Vir\""

I do not like insects. I do not like little *brown* *things* with eight legs. I do not like *anything* with eight legs. Well, except for the Vinzini, but only because they are terrible at cards.

- "\"Is she all right?\" \"Yes, Lyndisty, my wife. Well, soon to be. You know, it's .. it's done, but it's not *really* done .. but it's .. phew .. a long, long story.

- "\"There were other women, but I never got past one.\" \"You mean first base.\" \"No, no, I mean one. You see, we have six a .. we have *six*, you see, and each one is a different level of intimacy and pleasure. So, you know, first you have one, and that's naa-naa. Then there's two .. and by you get to five it's a heehaa-heehaa.\" -- Vir and Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Sic Transit Vir\""

- "\"You know, it's come to my attention lately that we have a common enemy. There's an old saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' President Clark isn't calling the shots back home, there're others whispering in his ear. I don't know who they are or where they are from, but do I know they are not human. I have only heard one name for them: Shadows. My guess is you know more about them than I do, but you are probably not interested in sharing that information. Are you?\" -- Bester to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"You know the real reason you don't like me, Commander? It's the jealousy of evolution. Normals like you are obsolete. The future belongs to telepaths .. and I intend to make sure that future happens. One way or another.\" -- Bester to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"But we can't be on top if the aliens get there first and some of them have. Through Clark they infiltrated the Psi Corps. And apparently they have their own plans for my telepaths. Whoever these aliens are, they are interfering with *my* plans for the future. I won't have it! And so, I need someone who feels the same way I do. .. Which brings me to you. You'd like to hurt them, Commander? Because I think I know how. If you are up for it. -- Bester to Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"So, how did you find about all of this?\" \"I'm .. a telepath. .. Work it out.\" -- Sheridan and Bester in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"We knew that the Shadows, the ancient enemies, as you call them, had returned. We knew they were rebuilding their forces preparing to strike. We knew that they were seeking allies and that the Centauri were the first to enlist. When you came back from the area near Z'ha'dum, and warned us about the enemies' return, we could've spoken out. We could've confirmed your story. We chose to remain silent.\" \"Who is 'we'?\" \"The Grey Council. I was still a part of them at that time. Once the decision was made, I could not disobey.\" \"So you stayed silent. And with the help of these .. Shadows, the Centauri destroyed my world. Enslaved or killed millions of my people.\" \"G'Kar, if we *had* spoken out, if we *had* come public with what we knew, most of the other worlds would never have believed us. It would have changed *nothing*. Your world would still have fallen. With one critical difference. There are billions of Narns still surviving on your world. If we had exposed the Shadows, they could have struck openly before we had time to prepare, and *none* of your people would have survived. G'Kar, under the Centauri there is at least the hope of survival. With the Shadows, there is no hope at all. We had to choose between the death of millions and the death of *billions*, whole planets.\" -- Delenn and G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"'Some must be sacrificed for all to be saved.' First I took that as a revelation for the future. Now I see that it is as much about how we got here as about where we are going. I think that one sentence is the greatest burden I have ever known.\" -- G'Kar to Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"You are right, nothing would've been changed. Except that my people would now be a dead race.\" \"You have come a long way, G'Kar. Further than I would've guessed. Sheridan's promise binds me as well it does him. We will take you into the Council, G'Kar.

- "\"Can we intercept?\" \"The White Star is powered by a magnetic and gravitational system like all Minbari cruisers. You can use a magnetic discharge to capture the escaped vessel.\" \"A simple 'yes' would've sufficed, Mr. Lennier. Grab it.\" -- Sheridan and Lennier in Babylon 5:\"Ship of Tears\""
- "\"The machine says: 'kill, to protect.' The sign hurts us. We can not hear the machine.\" \"What machine?\" \"*Live*. In my mind. I am the machine. We join, we flight. It is dark. Terrible.

- "\"I thought we had a deal. We carved up the galaxy, you and I.\" \"Yes, we did. And what you do in your half is your business. What I do in mine is mine.\" \"We need your government to continue its campaign.\" \"Yes. And why is that, huh? I don't think you have any interest in restoring the glory of the Centauri Republic. No. I think you are *using* us as .. shall we say, agents of chaos. Convenient distraction making it easier for your associates to do whatever they wish to do. Yes?\" -- Morden and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Interludes and Examinations\""
- "\"Yes, I *have* ideas, some possibilities, but at this moment the stone cold fact is that none of us can stand up to those ships. If we could just score *one* victory against the Shadows, it'd be enough to make some of the others come around.\" \"Perhaps we should give them a victory.\" \"Oh, just like that?\" \"Just like that.\" \"And how do you suggest we do that?\" \"I'm sure you'll think of something.\" -- Sheridan and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Interludes and Examinations\""

- "\"Nobody wants to fight a war unless they know there is at least a chance of winning. You can give them that hope.

But if you could beat them in just one fight, it could be the break we need to get everyone organized. Then we would have a real chance. You could do it, couldn't you? \"Perhaps. But there are still few of us. It is not our time. It is yours. We are not prepared yet.\" \"Don't turn your back on me. Don't you ever try to walk away from me! Just who the hell do you think you are? Wait, I know what you think you are, what you want us to believe. But I don't buy it. For three years now you've been pulling everyones strings, getting us to do all the work, and you haven't done a damn thing but stand there and look cryptic. It's about time you started pulling your own weight around here.\" -- Sheridan and Kosh in Babylon 5:\"Interludes and Examinations\""
- "\"I hear you've got a saying: 'Understanding is a three-edged sword.' Well, we've got a saying too: 'Put your money where your mouth is.'\" \"Impudent.\" \"Yeah? Well, maybe that's the only way to get through to you. You said you wanted to teach me to fight legends. Well, you are a legend too, and I am not going away until you agree.\" \"Incorrect.

- "\"So, the real Kosh shows his colors at last, huh? You angry now? Angry enough to kill me, because that's the only way I'm leaving, unless your people get off their encounter-suited butts and do something. I've got nothing to lose. My own government wants to kill me, and if we lose this war I'm just as dead. Our only chance is to get the other races on board for this fight and right now you are the key to doing that.\" \"It is not yet time.\" \"And who decides that time? You?

I heard what happened. You offered to help, he walked away.\" \"Yeah, I know, but the thing is: sometimes people walk away because they *want* to be alone, and sometimes they walk away because they want to see if you care enough to follow them into hell. I think I went the wrong way.\" \"Look, he's gotta get his head screwed on straight. You can't do that for him.\" \"Yeah, you are right. It's just.. I've had my own problems. I've been where he is. I've walked away from lot of things in my life. I just hope he can find his way back again.\" -- Garibaldi and Zack in Babylon 5:\"Shadow Dancing\""

- "\"I'll wake you in four hours.\" \"Thanks. That's assuming I can get any sleep in these. The Captain warned me about these things, but I had *no* idea..\" \"They are wery restful, good for the back.\" \"Well, someday I want to be stationed in somewhere with *big* four-poster bed, canopy, and maybe a window with a view of a garden.\" \"I like gardens, .. and big four-poster beds. ..

- "\"John, we've been over this. I should be there, with you, and with the fleet. We are in this together. And .. afterward, when we are finished with this, we will spend the night together.\" \"?!\" \"Not like that. You see, when Minbari become close, as we have become close, it is tradition that they spend three nights together. The male sleeps and the female watches.\" \"Watches what?\" \"During the day, we all put on the face we think will do us the most good. But at certain point in your sleep, as you relax, your true face is revealed. If the female approves of his true face, she will stay two more nights and continue to observe.\" \"Hmm, what if she doesn't like what she sees?\" \"Then they go their seperate ways. If he insists, she'll stay one more night. She can leave when he falls asleep, file a complaint with the elders, even cut off his .. his access to her family.\" \"Oh. What if she *does* like what she sees?\" \"Later. History awaits.\" -- Delenn and Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Shadow Dancing\""
- "\"Very stupid.\" \"Yeah. It was that, wasn't it. Always trying to be the hero. Never stopping to think first.

- "\"You know what your problem is? All your life you've run away from everything. Home didn't work out, wouldn't talk to your father, so you just .. walked away. You didn't have the patience for a long internship back home, so you just ran out and started hitch-hiking on starships. You didn't want to turn over your *precious* notes on Minbari biology during the war, so you just burned them instead and walked away again. You used work to run away from your personal life and stims to run away from your work. And right now, you are running away from everything. Don't you die on me yet. I'm not through with you. You finally had it all, didn't you? You had a good job, people who cared about you and you messed it up! 'I have to leave before they fire me. I have to go find myself.' What a bunch of mealy-mouthed self-indulgent foundationist crap! Take responsibility for your actions, for crying out loud. You go in there and you *fight* for what matters to you, don't just walk away because it's easier. What did you say? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. You are too busy *dying*, aren't you? I guess that's a bit more important to you right now. Well, fine, you do what you want, because you and I, we parted ways a long time ago.

I wanna do it again.\" \"Is that right? Then get up off the damn floor. I don't care how much it hurts. Don't you go passing out on me, because that's just another kind of running away.

I guess I found what I .. what I needed, not what I wanted.\" \"Which was?\" \"Short sharp kick to the head.\" \"Oh hell, I could've done that for you, all you had to do was ask.\" \"Well, you would've enjoyed it too much.\" \"So, you didn't .. meet yourself?\" \"Yeah, I did. Found out I didn't like myself either.\" \"Well, as revelation go, I guess I have heard worse.\" -- Garibaldi and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Shadow Dancing\""
- "\"Signs, portents, dreams, next thing we'll be reading tea leafs and chicken entrails. All we do know is that we are vulnerable now. I want squadrons on fly-by at all times.

- "\"The job is waiting for you, if you want it.\" \"Are you sure you want to do this?\" \"If you are sure you want to take it.\" \"I want it. I think now I can do better. I mean, that was the problem, the stims they .. they let me do more, but what I needed was to do better.\" \"I wish you'd come to talk to me before you made your decision to resign.\" \"I was running away. Same as I have always done. I didn't want to face how I'd feel if you fired me, so I just quit.\" -- Sheridan and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Shadow Dancing\""
- "\"You had to find your own way?\" \"I *ran* away. I realized that I always defined myself in terms what I wasn't. I wasn't a good soldier like my father, I wasn't .. the job.. I wasn't a good prospect for marriage or kids. Always what I wasn't, never what I was. But when you do that, you miss the moments. And the moments are all we've got. When I thought I was going to die, even after everything that's happened, I realized I didn't want to let go. I was willing to do it all over again and this time I could appreciate the moments. I can't go back, but I can appreciate what I have right now, and I can define myself by what I am, instead of what I'm not.\" \"And what are you?\" \"Alive.

- "\"Another drink!\" \"Londo, you have been like this ever since the diplomatic pouch arrived this morning. At least you can do is tell me what's wrong.\" \"Oh, Vir. I have been promoted. I've been offered a position in the Royal Court as an advisor to Emperor Cartagia in matters of planetary security, very important position.\" \"This is great news, why would you be upset?\" \"*Because*, it should've come to me twenty years ago when I could've appreciated it. Because it wasn't given to me because I *earned* it. They are, I think, afraid of me. Through our friend, Mr. Morden, I have gained influence, money, power and they think I will move against Cartagia.\" \"Then why would they reward you?\" \"It's not a reward, it's a leash. I would need to divide my time between here and the homeworld.

- "\"Who are you?\" \"Now, that's really not important.\" \"Who are you?\" \"Who decides that the workday is from 9 to 5, instead of 11 to 4?

Who draws up the borders, controls the currency, handles *all* of the decisions that happen transparently around us?\" \"I don't know.\" \"Ah! I'm with them. Same group, different department.

- "\"You see, John, back a million years ago, there were forces prowling around the galaxy beyond *anything* that we could understand. *And*, like anything else, most of them outgrew this little quadrant of the universe and headed off toward greener pastures. Now, two of them stayed behind. Shepherds, you might call them. They wanted to look after the younger races, bring them around, help them *evolve* into something better.\" \"One of these was the Vorlons. The other .. was, what you call, the Shadows.\" -- Justin and Morden in Babylon 5:\"Z'ha'dum\""
- "\"The Vorlons are like your parents, I suppose. They want you to play nice, clean your room, do it by the rules.

- "\"It was supposed to be an equal balance between our side and the Vorlons, but the Vorlons decided that their way was the right way. They enlisted the support of other worlds, like the Minbari. They even started interfering with the development of younger races.\" \"When you look at a Vorlon, you see what they want you to see. They've manipulated us so we would respond favourably to them. They've even interfered at a genetic level by taking humans and then .. adjusting them.

It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us.

It's the natural order of things, There's no dishonor in that, no shame. We recognize the superior forces of the warrior caste. We have, after all, spent several centuries arming you, helping you learn the art of combat. What threat are we against that?\" \"Then you acknowledge we are stronger?\" \"Stronger, yes. But wiser?

Death is merely a release from our obligations. Why then are you afraid, Shakiri? Have you put your importance above our own people?\" \"Don't take their side!\" \"I speak for my *people*. Who do you speak for? And what are you willing to do? They are waiting for your answer.\" -- Neroon to Shakiri in Babylon 5:\"Moments of Transition\""

- "\"You had forgotten the worker caste, hadn't you? When our two sides fight, they're the ones caught in the middle, forgotten that it's their time to serve to build, and to die. They built the temples we pray in, the ships you fight in. They look to us to guide their hands. But prayers are fleeting and wars forgotten. What is built endures. They do not wish to conquer or convert, only to build the future. And now, they will have that chance. The religious caste and the warrior caste will advise and councel. We will serve, as is proper. Religion and war must act in the *service* of the people, not the other way around. This place.. this place is reserved in memory of Neroon, until the day it is taken by the One who is to come. You are the heart, the hands, and the voice of our people. Judge wisely and well.\" -- Delenn to Grey Council in Babylon 5:\"Moments of Transition\""

Hey, I don't like the idea any more than you do, but either we commit ourselves to this completely or we don't do it.

- "\"During the Shadow War Sheridan risked his life and the lives of every human on this station to help save our worlds. Would the Gaim have done that for the Pak'ma'ra? Would the Drazi have done that for .. for the Narn? No. That sacrifice must be rewarded.\" \"Since the war we have begun working together as never before.

They will become isolated or they'll turn against the rest of us.\" \"Politically it is very wise.\" \"Morally it is even wiser.\" \"Politics and morality on the same side!

We're supposed to sip, not gulp.\" \"I didn't gulp.\" \"No?\" \"I sipped.\" \"You I believe.\" \"Now, why do you believe her and not me?\" \"Because when you lie, it's all over your face.

- "\"No, they picked me because I'm from the old school: a soldier doesn't take arms against his own government, no matter how justified you feel doing it. And because Sheridan was one of my students back in the Academy. I taught him everything he knows. I know how he thinks, I know how he fights. To tell you the truth, I've always admired him. And now I'm gonna have to kill him, and his ship and everyone around him. It's a terrible day, Charlie. I wish the hell I'd never live to see it.\" -- General Lefcourt in Babylon 5:\"Endgame\""

- "\"You're late!\" \"No, no, no, *you're* early.\" \"I'm never premature.\" \"Oh, well, *that* is a surprise, given what I've heard. I'm sure it's a matter of perspective, really. But for a Narn, two minutes must be a long time, so if you go the duration, it's an accomplishment. But for the Centauri, *hours* can go by before you even get to the good parts.\" -- G'Kar and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"You're going to be Emperor, Londo. Isn't that *wonderful?*\" \"Yes, Vir, wonderful news.\" -- Vir and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""

- "\"I know, I know what's it like to lose someone, only to find her and then lose her a second time. I wouldn't wish that to anyone, not even you, as much as I might want to.\" -- Sheridan to Bester in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"I see nothing amusing in this situation, Londo.\" \"No, no. You are right, there isn't. It's just that..[giggle] I'm so rarely in the presence of living history.

- "\"As you were. Well, Captain, you caused quite a stir. Half of Earth Force wants to give you a kiss on the cheek and the medal of honor. The other half wants you taken out and shot. As a politician you learn how to compromise. Which by all right means I should give you the medal of honor then have you shot. I confess the idea had a certain appeal when I mentioned it to the Joint Chiefs two hours ago.\" -- President Susanna Luchenko to Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"So, morally I was right, but politically I'm inconvenient.\" \"Inconvenient doesn't even begin to cover it. Now we have to clean up the mess.\" -- Sheridan and President Susanna Luchenko in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"The bitch of it is that you probably did the right thing. But you did it in the wrong way. In the inconvenient way. Now you have to pay the penalty for that. I know it stinks, but that's the way it is.\" -- President Susanna Luchenko to Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"I learned about choices and consequences and responsibility. I learned that we all have choices, even when we don't recognize them, and that those choices have consequencies, not just for ourselves, but for others. We must assume responsibility for those consequencies.\" -- Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"For many years all of us here have priced our good relations with Earth. You have shown through your example that strength comes from a multitude of voices brought together for a common cause. Humans form communities. In that spirit we have voted to dissolve the League of Non-Aligned worlds and create a new alliance, based on mutual co-operation and respect. An alliance, born in the diverse voices of many worlds, joined by their desire to build a better future and their decision to voluntarily recognize a common authority.\" -- G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"Their [Rangers] goal is to create the peace, not enforce the peace.\" -- Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""

- "\"It was the end of the Earth year 2261 and it was the dawn of a new age for all of us. It was the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The next 20 years would see great changes, great joy and great sorrow. The telepath war. The Drakh war. The New Alliance would waver and crack, but in the end it will hold, because what is built endures, and what is loved endures. And Babylon 5, .. Babylon 5 endures.\" -- Delenn in Babylon 5:\"Rising Star\""
- "\"Well, we figured you probably want to come back with as little fanfare as possible, your usual low-key approach.\" \"But there's a time and a place for everything and this is the time and this is *definitely* the place for one hell of a party!\" -- Franklin and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"So, Doctor, who died?\" \"What are you talking about?\" \"Among my people this is how we celebrate state funerals. Our marriage ceremonies are solemn, sober, moments of reflection, also regret, disagreement, argument and mutual recrimination. Once you know it can't get any worse you can relax and enjoy the marriage. But to *start* with something like this.. No, it is a very bad sign for the future.\" -- Londo and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""

- "\"He can barely get along with his own race, and now he's gonna stitch together an alliance of *radically* different aliens and make it work. No, this whole shebang is doomed from the get-go.\" -- Henry Ellis in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"Obviously there's a degree of uncertainty in *any* new political situation. This next year will prove critical for Sheridan and the rest of his people. Look what they are up against: he has to ride herd on the dozen or so alien races that have signed on to this alliance and probably don't fully understand what's being required of them. There are still sporadic fighting between many of those members. On top of that, he has supply problems, telepath problems, raiding parties, not to mention distrust among elements of his own government here at home. This man has his work cut out for him, but I *know* that he can handle it.\" -- Senator Elizabeth Metarie in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"The first thing you have to do is separate fantasy from reality. The publicity machine of the Alliance would have you believe that somehow *all* this came about because of what a few people did. But large political movements are rarely the workup of any one person. The individual at the center gives permission for others to act, can *inspire* others. But the individual really can not affect changes on an act of will. *They* did not do, they allowed others to do.\" -- Dr. Barbara Tashaki in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"We all have a profound psychological need to believe in heroes, the shining knight on the white horse. If they don't exist, we create them. Sheridan and Delenn are two classic examples. If you look at the social dynamic around them, they actually didn't do anything. They were the open vessels in which people poured their hopes and their dreams. That sets up sort of a gestalt, where events take on a life of their own.\" -- William Exeter in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"John Sheridan was a good, kind, and decent man.\" \"Delenn, wait! You came all this way just to say *that?*\" \"You came just this far to say less?\" -- Delenn and Dr. Jim Latimere in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"You do not wish to know .. anything. You wish only to speak. That which you know, you ignore, because it is inconvenient. That which you do not know, you invent. But none of that matters, except that he was a good man, a kind man, who cared about the world, even when the world cared nothing for him.\" -- Delenn in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"Not propaganda, goodfacts, as opposed to realfacts. Facts the government has endorsed.\" -- Daniel to Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""

- "\"There must be something we can do.\" \"We're dead, we are not even here, just our memories, our thought patterns.\" \"That must be worth something. What we are is not a matter of flesh, it's a matter of will.\" -- Delenn and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""
- "\"You see, the thing is, me and Sheridan were close, but *I* was the one who did most of the strategic planning during the war. Now, a resource like that you may not want to wipe it out just yet. I could help you.\" -- Garibaldi to Daniel in Babylon 5:\"The Deconstruction of Falling Stars\""

- "\"The ways of Rome are like onto God. They are mysterious and sometimes they transcend understanding.

- "\"And I was wondering if they will remember us hundred years from now, or a thousand. Then I figured: probably not.\" \"But it doesn't matter.

- "\"It's nothing personal, but I need to send a message to Babylon 5. That's what you Rangers are for, right? Getting messages from one place to another. So you're the right person in the right place at the right time. For me anyway.\" -- John to a Ranger in Babylon 5:\"No Compromises\""
- "\"And so it begins.\" \"There is a hole in your mind.\" \"What do you want?\" \"No one here is exactly what he appears.\" \"Nothing's the same anymore.\" \"Commander Sinclair .. is being reassigned.\" \"Why don't you eliminate the entire Narn homeworld while you're at it?\" \"I see a great hand reaching out of the stars.\" \"Who are you?\" \"President Clark has signed a decree today declaring martial law.\" \"These orders have forced us to declare independence.\" \"Weapons supplies.\" \"Unless your people get off their encounter-suited butts and do something.\" \"You're the one who was.\" \"If you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die.\" \"Why are you here?\" \"Do you have anything worth living for?\" \"I think of my beautiful city in flames.\" \"Like giants in a playground.\" \"Get the hell out of our galaxy!\" \"We are here to place president Clark under arrest.\" -- Season Opener in Babylon 5:\"No Compromises\""

All that to keep from picking up what you're broadcasting loud enough to be heard halfway down the hall. You're one of those people who rehearses everything, Mr. Garibaldi. You never enter a situation until you've gone over it and over it a hundred times, worked out what you will say and what the other person will say, how you'll respond. It's .. quite remarkable and extremely depressing. That little personality quirk must have cost you more than a few relationships.

It speaks in the language of hope.\" \"It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. The small, still voice that says: 'We are one. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star. .. We are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear. .. We are one.' Here, gathered together in common cause, we begin to realize this singular truth and this singular rule that we must be kind to one another.

We are one.\" \"We are one.\" -- Sheridan / G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"The Paragon of Animals\""

Said the room service is good and bed is cheap and staff is friendly.\" \"Meaning the food stinks, the rooms are small and the staff will knife you in the back when you're not looking.\" \"Exactly. All right, I think it's .. it's that way.\" -- Lyta and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"We have no Centauri bodies here.\" -- Dr. Varia in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"I know this. I know what this is.\" -- Lyta in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"Hello, Mollari.\" \"Regent?\" \"I told you we would speak again before the end. I always try to keep my promises, especially to those who have been kind to me .. as you have been.\" \"It is no burden. Regent, I have been trying to see you for some time. Our ships--\" \"Yes. .. I know.\" \"Then you gave the order.\" \"After a fashion. I have always tried to do the right thing, *you* know, when circumstances allowed.\" \"We all do, Regent.\" \"Yes. And now it is your time. Mine is almost over. I have to say, I'll be glad of it. I'm so tired of it all, Londo. I'm glad .. I won't live to see what follows.\" \"Why? What is going to follow?\" -- Regent and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"What do you mean there weren't any crew aboard?\" \"Garibaldi said that there were two seperate Centauri fleets engaged in the war: one defensive, one offensive, that no one in the Centauri military knew anything about the attacks, only that they were defending themselves against us. Now we know why.\" -- Sheridan and Franklin in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"This is leftover Shadow technology, Mr. President. Vorlons gave me information on them in case I ever ran across one of them. And I understand a few years ago one was found by the Psi Corps. It's an organic device used to control a ship from a long distance. You put two or three of these on board a starship and .. you don't even need a crew.\" -- Lyta to Sheridan in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"It's going to be a pretty night, the last one I will ever see.\" \"You shouldn't talk that way, Regent. You still have many years ahead of you. That's why it's important to recall the ships. We can still make peace.\" \"Oh, there will be peace, for a while. It never lasts, really. They said so. They said two things, actually. That there will be peace and that it won't last. They also said I would be dead by morning and that tomorrow .. you will be emperor. They said many, many things. Things I didn't want to hear. Things I didn't understand. And things I didn't *want* to understand.\" \"They? Who are *they*, Regent?\" \"Oh, you will find out for yourself soon enough, Londo. You shouldn't rush your last *free* hours. And there were something else they told me .. to do. And I did it just a few moments before I came to see you. The last thing I will ever have to do for them. And in a way .. I'm glad it's over.\" \"What did they ask you to do?\" \"To send away all the ships .. guarding Centauri Prime on a false emergency and turn off the planetary defense network.\" \"No!\" \"I think I'll stay .. and watch from here. The sky should be lighting up any time now. I imagine .. it will be .. quite beautiful.\" \"*No!*\" -- Regent and Londo in Babylon 5:\"Movements of Fire and Shadow\""
- "\"It is said that the future is always born in pain. The history of war is the history of pain. If we are wise, what is born of that pain matures into the promise of a better world, because we learn that we can no longer afford the mistakes of the past.\" -- G'Kar in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"No, she's always quiet. We think maybe there's something wrong with her.\" \"Yes .. or something very right. The quiet ones are the ones that change the universe, Luc Derardi. The loud ones only take the credit.\" -- Luc Derardi and Londo in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"My people can handle themselves. We took care of the Dilgar. We can take care of the Minbari.\" \"Ahh, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you.\" -- General Lefcourt and Londo in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"Then let them appear, to give us something to believe in. If the Vorlons do not see the danger, then perhaps the danger does not exist.\" -- Coplann in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"Yes, they should, but if the legends surrounding the Vorlons are correct, remember that they do not reveal themselves quickly and never all at once.\" \"What are you saying?\" \"I'm not saying anything. I didn't say anything then, and I'm not saying anything now.\" -- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"Are you saying I'm being deceived?\" \"I'm not saying anything. I did not say anything then, and I'm not saying anything now. Unless you are saying you've seen a Vorlon.\" \"I'm saying even less than you, except for this. When the darkness comes, if you ever have doubt about your actions, all you need do is look into the face of a Vorlon. Once you see that, all doubt is erased forever.\" -- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"Why do you come here, Delenn?\" \"I come to serve.\" \"Who do you serve?\" \"I serve the truth.\" \"What is the truth?\" \"That we are one people, one voice.\" \"Will you follow me into fire? Will you follow me into darkness? Will you follow me into death?\" \"I will.\" \"Then follow.\" -- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"I am become Grey. I stand between the darkness and the light, .. between the candle and the star.\" -- Delenn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"Susan. What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the university.\" \"Well, you know me, never where I'm supposed to be.\" -- Ganya and Susan Ivanova in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"The warrior caste loves to win and hates to lose. It is easier to fight a weaker opponent and be guaranteed victory than to oppose a far more dangerous enemy.\" -- Lenonn to Morann in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"They say we'll need allies. In particular, a race that is so far unknown to us called humans. If we have not already done so by now, it is my hope that you will work with the Vorlons to find these humans and bring them into the battle on our side.\" -- Dukhat recording to Delenn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"Humans?\" \"Yes. They are the key.\" -- Delenn and Kosh in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"And if the only way out is for Earth to surrender?\" \"Officially that's up to the negotiators. Those are my orders. Unofficially.. We're losing this war, John. And if the only way the human race can survive is to surrender.. then we will surrender.\" -- Sheridan and Lefcourt in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space.\" -- Londo in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"The truth points to itself.\" \"What?\" \"The truth points to itself.\" \"I do not understand.\" \"You will.\" -- Kosh and Delenn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"We should bring one of them aboard for questioning. If our next step is a final assault on their world, we must know their defenses.\" \"Very well, Delenn. Choose. But quickly. We are fast running out of candidates.\" -- Delenn and Hedronn in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\""
- "\"I need another bottle. I need *several* more bottles. And then .. wait one hour and bring the prisoners here.\" -- Londo in Babylon 5:\"In the Beginning\" "
