"I did what I did because all life is sacred. But when the object of your actions does not share that belief... I fear I have served the present by sacrificing the future."
"Though we enter the great dark with them, the sacrifice is a worthy one...to end our suffering and our pain...to end it all."
"Life is life. Whether it's wrapped in skins, scales, or feathers. Now, if you respected these beings instead of constantly trying to murder them, you would appreciate that."

"The universe began with a word, you know. But which came first? The word, or the thought behind the word? You can't create language without thought, and you can't conceive a thought without language. So which created the other, and thus created the universe? No. I see you're far too wrapped up in your question to consider the larger issues."

"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."
"Since space and time are curved, the infinite sooner or later bends back upon itself...and ends up where it began. And so have I."

" Ah, and which are you? 'An idle king... doling unequal laws unto a savage race that hoard and sleep and feed and know not you'? Or, 'this gray spirit, yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star'? "
"There's a natural law. Physics tells us that for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction. They hate us, we hate them, they hate us back. And so, here we are: victims of mathematics."

"They would be trapped with us, and the ship looking for them would find it, find them, find us, find you. A brilliant cascade of cause and effect. Isn't the universe an amazing place? I wouldn't live
anywhere else."

"Understand, that while I am not a prophet, I can tell you that if I were to be sent away in a life pod, and forced to watch everything that I love and have fought for die before my eyes, without even a chance to keep it together... the pod would suffer just such a terrible... 'accident'. Now... time being circular, if we know that this will happen, then we may as well assume that it has happened already, and that the life pod is not safe for me to enter."

"Delenn, all we know is that we will die. It's only a matter of how, when and whether or not it is with honor. He did what any of us would've done. Respectfully, Delenn, I think this is the one thing about your position you do not yet understand. You cherish life, life is your goal. But for the greater part to live, some must die, or be harmed in its defense, and yours. There is no other way."

"I am a Ranger. We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no one may pass. We live for the One, we die for the One."
