-Marcus Cole, babylon 5

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea. Hell, I always thought the opposable thumb was overrated

A darkness carried in the heart can not be cured by moving the body from one place to another.
-Do I really need to tell you?

You can't turn away from death simply because you're afraid of what might happen without you. That's not enough! You're not embracing life. You're fleeing death....Your friends need what you can be when you are no longer afraid, when you know who you are and why you are and what you want, when you are no longer looking for reasons to live, but can simply be.

The next time .. the next time .. you want a revelation .. could you possibly find a way .. that isn't .. quite so .. uncomfortable?
-Marcus Cole, upon being beaten half to death.

"Breen. You've managed to import breen from homeworld. How?"

"It's an Earth food. They are called Swedish meatballs. It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs. I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never get explained or which will drive you mad if you ever learned the truth."

"Every day, here and at home, we are warned about the enemy. But who is the enemy? Is it the alien? Well, we are all alien to one another. Is it the one who believes differently than we do? No, not at all, my friends. The enemy is fear. The enemy is ignorance. The enemy is the one who tells you that you must hate that which is different. Because, in the end, that hate will turn on you. And that same hate will destroy you."

"Ah! He has become one with his inner self!"
"He's passed out."
"That too."

"I've never understood that. Why does the universe give us puzzles with no answers?"
"Pay back, maybe?"

"Faith manages."

"We put you in this position, G'Kar. Our reverence is our gift to you, and you are responsible to us. You owe us. Without us .. you are nothing."
"Then I am nothing. Good day."
