You have pre-empted all of my quotes now. Great minds think alike!

But I think that has to be my favourite of all of them.

"What do you want?"

"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head, and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price; I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave, like this... Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

Morden and Vir - "In The Shadow Of Za' Ha' Dum"
There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939

From "The Illusion of Truth":

Randall: "Commander Ivanova was threatening to grab me by my collar and shove me out an airlock."
Sheridan: "Commander? Did you actually threaten to grab this man by the collar and shove him out an airlock? I'm shocked. Shocked and dismayed. I remind you that we're short on supplies. That is a perfectly good jacket. Always take the clothes off first, I've told you this before." (turns to Randall) "Sorry, she was supposed to say 'have you stripped naked, and then have you shoved out an airlock'. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused."


Sheridan: "We have an open-door policy."
Ivanova: "We also have an open-airlock policy."
"What has been done has been done and cannot be undone."--Ruth, All the Weyrs of Pern

Anything by Kosh...

"Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life... probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry."

Ambassador Londo Mollari: But this - this, this, this is like being nibbled to death by... what are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet... go 'quack'...
Ambassador Vir Cotto: Cats.
Ambassador Londo Mollari: Cats. Being nibbled to death by cats.

Lord Refa: Why should I do as you say?
Ambassador Londo Mollari: Because I have asked you; because your sense of duty to our people should override any personal ambition; and because I have poisoned your drink.

Kosh Naranek: Understanding is a three-edged sword.

Kosh Naranek: A stroke of the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles.

[Opening narration, season 3]
Susan Ivanova: The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed. But in the year of the Shadow War, it became something greater: our last, best hope for victory. The year is 2260. The place - Babylon 5.

This one makes perfect sense to me.

Kosh usually does. My favorite character on B5.

Vir: But their cities are thousands of years old!

Londo: The lack of new construction is the surest sign of a faltering economy.

Vir: Londo, are you deliberately trying to drive me insane?!?

Londo: The universe is already mad, anything else would be redundant.

Thread necro, but i thought it needed this.



Delenn: He was the best of us. They struck without provocation, there was no reason. Animals! Brutal! They deserve no mercy! Strike them down, follow them back to their base and kill all of them, all of them! No mercy!
