      "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."
      "It means living each moment as if it were your last one. It means doing each right thing because it is the right thing. The scale doesn't matter. The where, the when, the how, or in what cause... none of those things matter."

        "Ok. Activate defense grid. Launch all starfuries. And if they move, shoot them. If they don't move, shoot twice, they are probably hiding something."

                    "Do you know how many have stood before me as you stand now? Proud, defiant, full of their own bloated self-importance. Confident that they are chosen, special favored of God. All of them have broken. And better for everyone that they did. Better to spare others the illusion of false hope. You have the audacity to presume that you are on a mission from God. Embarked upon a holy cause. I don't believe it. And by the time you leave here neither will you."

                          "The ways of Rome are like onto God. They are mysterious and sometimes they transcend understanding. They confess to an inability to see the wisdom of our mission: to keep alive the knowledge of the past. The knowledge that would've been lost forever after the Great Burn 500 years ago. Science and technology, yes, is that really their calling? But it is ours."

                            "I do think there are some things we don't understand. If we'd be back in time a thousand years, trying to explain this place to people, they could only accept it in terms of magic."

                              "Valen was the greatest of us. A thousand years ago he came from nowhere, formed the Grey Council, and brought peace to our people. They say he was a Minbari, not born of Minbari."
