In The Beginning
"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 - Part of Opening Narration"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"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"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"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"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"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"Humans?"
"Yes. They are the key."
Delenn and Kosh"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"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"The truth points to itself."
"What?"
"The truth points to itself."
"I do not understand."
"You will."
Kosh and Delenn"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"I need another bottle. I need several more bottles. And then .. wait one hour and bring the prisoners here."
Londo to GuardTHIRDSPACE
"It was the middle of the Earth year 2261, the year between wars, and the beginning of a new age. The shadow war was over, but there was still a darkness waiting for us at home. President Santiago was assassinated and his successor, President Clark was turning Earth into a prison camp. We've broken away from Earth and in retaliation they quarantined us, trying to strangle our supply lines. We were desperate and we couldn't afford to lose even a single supply ship."
Sheridan (part of opening narration)"I am trained to separate false memories from real ones."
Lyta Alexander"We are having to move the struts of the jump gate far enough apart to allow the artifact through."
"It's that big?"
"Bigger."
Corwin and Sheridan"Would you like me to speak to them?"
"No, it's not the speaking that's the problem, it's .. the listening."
Delenn and Vir"No, that is a lie."
"Minbari do not lie."
"Well, then it is slander."
"To be slander it must be false."
Sheridan and Delenn"Then it's .. it's damned inconvenient."
"Truth always is."
Sheridan and Delenn"Besides, .. it is mine."
Sheridan"Maybe you might find something useful by sheer accident. But maybe you'll push the wrong button and blow yourself up."
"I know. Exciting, isn't it?"
Dr. Elizabeth Trent and Sheridan"A low-rated commercial telepath can't sense electronics like that. Only a P9 and above can do that."
"Lyta is a P5."
"So you tell me. But that rating was determined before she went to the Vorlon homeworld, as you very well know."
Elizabeth Trent and Ivanova"The Centauris didn't exactly invent jump gate technology either. None of the current races did. They found the gates when they got out into space, took them apart and put them back together again. No one even knows who built the first gate."
Bill Morishi"Our great mistake. Our failing. And now your failing."
Lyta to Sheridan and Delenn"After everything that's happened I have to decide if I want this job anymore. I didn't like the part of me that thing brought out."
"Well, maybe it's a learning experience for you."
"If it is, it's a hell of a painful one."
"Ain't no other kind, Dr. Trent" [to himself]
Elizabeth Trent and Sheridan"Mr. Garibaldi has been known to say from time to time: We all lie."
Sheridan"It's all true. And of course, it's all a lie."
Sheridan
RIVER OF SOULS
"Nothing good comes easy, Klaus."
"Nothing bad comes easy, either. I find it far more annoying when the universe makes you work for your damnation. I'd prefer it just gave it to me, save me the effort."
Robert Bryson and Klaus"This symbol. This is a death symbol. And the other side, a symbol of life. Not life or death or life and death but life in death. Life eternal."
Robert Bryson"I was sorry to hear about Mr. Edgars passing away like that. He was a good man. A visionary."
"He was a nut, and he was a control freak."
"Well, these days, only a nut and a control freak would completely fund research into pure science."
Robert Bryson and Garibaldi"Ok. So I believe in heaven. You've got a problem with that?"
"No heaven. Nothing beyond. Only the dark, impenetrable wall of death."
Zack and Soul Hunter"There is strength enough in one mind, one soul, to change the universe. Can you imagine how much strength there would be in one billion souls, all focused on escape?"
Soul Hunter"We are taught to go wherever the spirit moves us."
Soul Hunter to Lochley"And maybe for some souls, it's not enough just being. It's the doing that makes us what we are. If these souls were valuable, it's because of what they did or the way they saw the world."
Lochley"Activate defense grid, launch all starfuries, and if they move, shoot them. If they don't move, shoot twice. They're probably hiding something."
Lt. David Corwin"If all they wanted was a spokesperson they could have picked any image from the holo-brothel. But they chose the one they knew would draw my attention. Why else would they choose my image?"
"I heard it's very popular."
"Is it?"
"So I'm told."
Lochley and Garibaldi"Faith is good, but sometimes, faith is blind."
Soul Hunter"The mind sees what it needs to see. The soul sees what the soul sees."
Lochley to Soul Hunter"Zack was right. There is a heaven."
Lochley
