Month of April quotes:

  • edit / "Wakey, wakey. I'm here with your weather report for the evening. I see rain, lightning, thunder, and your head nailed to that wall over there if you don't tell me what my friend and I need to know." —Marcus, Whatever_Happened_to_Mr._Garibaldi?
  • edit / "Captain, we're sorry. We thought you were dead."

"I was. I'm better now." —Drazi spokesman and Sheridan, The_Summoning

  • edit / "No, that was not Zathras, that was Zathras. There are 10 of us, all of family Zathras, each one named Zathras. Slight differences in how you pronounce. Zathraas, Zathras, Zathras.. You are seeing now?" —Ivanova, Conflicts_of_Interest
  • edit / "To celebrate this latest victory against the tyranny of a fanatical few who have endangered the lives of our citizens, Clark proclaimed today a planetary holiday. Curfew has been extended two full hours until 9 PM Earth standard time, so go out and enjoy." —Alison Higgins, The_Illusion_of_Truth
  • edit / "A Vorlon said understanding is a three-edged sword: your side, their side .. and the truth. The truth is we don't need you anymore." —Sheridan, Into_the_Fire
  • edit / "I don't watch TV. It's a cultural wasteland filled with inappropriate metaphors and an unrealistic portrayal of life created by the liberal media elite." —Prison guard, Between_the_Darkness_and_the_Light
  • edit / "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, The_Deconstruction_of_Falling_Stars
  • edit / "I find it amazing that you think that threats still mean anything to me. 'Do this or you're a dead man.' Death: been there, done that." —Sheridan to Bester, Rising_Star
  • edit / "He's making a crucible, which he hopes will force out the truth. Quite brave, possibly futile, but .. very human." —Lorien, Into_the_Fire
  • edit / "The way I figure it, we are all entitled to one really big, incredibly stupid screw-up in our lives. Maybe this is one of those, we'll see." —Garibaldi to Zack, Epiphanies
  • edit / "Entertainment channel unavailable due to jamming. Movie channel unavailable due to jamming. Sports channel unavailable due to jamming. Adult channel unavailable due to jamming. ISN available." —Babylon 5 television selection, Racing_Mars
  • edit / "There is nothing to fear in the dreaming. Only that which we bring with us." —Delenn, Atonement
  • edit / "There is nothing to be gained by trying to harm me, I am not the enemy. To be the enemy, I must have some personal stake in what happens to you. I am not interested in that at all. I'm here to do a job, nothing more. You are a name, a file, and a case number, that's all." —Interrogator to Sheridan, Intersections_in_Real_Time
  • edit / "I am become Grey. I stand between the darkness and the light, .. between the candle and the star." —Delenn, Atonement
  • edit / "If I had told her the whole truth, it would've destroyed her belief in the strength and the wisdom of our caste. Delenn does not walk in the same world you and I walk in. She does not see the same world you and I see. In her world we are better than we are, we care more than we care. We act towards each other with compassion. I much prefer her world to that of my own, and I will not allow anything to threaten that." —Lennier, Rumors, Bargains and Lies
  • edit / "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 consequences, not just for ourselves, but for others. We must assume responsibility for those consequences." —Sheridan, Rising Star
  • edit / "And.. Well, there's just no delicate way to say this. I want your body."

"What! Are you out of your mind?"
"Heh, that's a very funny question to ask a telepath, .. since we spend so much of our time in other peoples' minds. I don't want it now, Lyta, just when you are not .. using it anymore, after .. your passing."
—Bester and Lyta, Moments of Transition

  • edit / "They taught me what a telepath was and what we can do. And all that time I had never been afraid of who we were. Until that day .. when we did what we had to do because no one else would." —Lyta, The_Face_of_the_Enemy
  • edit / "I can not tell you that your pain will ever go away. I can not tell you that you'll ever forget his face. I can only tell you that it was necessary. You may have helped to save our people. You did a hard thing. But you still have your heart, and your heart is a good one. You would not be in such great pain otherwise. That means there is still hope for you. And for that.. I find that I still envy you." —Londo to Vir, The_Long_Night
  • edit / "Zathras gone! Zathras warned Zathras, but Zathras never listened to Zathras. Zathras was quiet one in family. SO! What can Zathras be doing for you?" —Zathras, Conflicts Of Interest
  • edit / "When I saw you in that cell, beaten, chained .. As I said, we have never been friends, we will never be friends. There is too much blood between us, too much history. But I did feel for you, as much as I did not want to. In the beginning, it was little more than sympathy one might feel for any trapped animal. But in time .. I came to respect you." —Londo to G'Kar, No_Surrender,_No_Retreat
  • edit / "You misunderstand me, Prime Minister. I was merely being specific. In my experience, if you can not say what you mean, you can never mean what you say. The details are everything." —Durano to Londo, Into_the_Fire
