"In the Beginning"

"It is said that the future is always born in pain. The history of war is the history of pain. If we are wise, what is born of that pain matures into the promise of a better world, because we learn that we can no longer afford the mistakes of the past."

	-- G'Kar in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"No, she's always quiet. We think maybe there's something wrong with her."
"Yes .. or something very right. The quiet ones are the ones that change the universe, Luc Derardi. The loud ones only take the credit."

	-- Luc Derardi and Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"My people can handle themselves. We took care of the Dilgar. We can take care of the Minbari."
"Ahh, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you."

	-- General Lefcourt and Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"Then let them appear, to give us something to believe in. If the Vorlons do not see the danger, then perhaps the danger does not exist."

	-- Coplann in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"Yes, they should, but if the legends surrounding the Vorlons are correct, remember that they do not reveal themselves quickly and never all at once."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm not saying anything. I didn't say anything then, and I'm not saying anything now."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"Are you saying I'm being deceived?"
"I'm not saying anything. I did not say anything then, and I'm not saying anything now. Unless you are saying you've seen a Vorlon."
"I'm saying even less than you, except for this. When the darkness comes, if you ever have doubt about your actions, all you need do is look into the face of a Vorlon. Once you see that, all doubt is erased forever."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"Why do you come here, Delenn?"
"I come to serve."
"Who do you serve?"
"I serve the truth."
"What is the truth?"
"That we are one people, one voice."
"Will you follow me into fire? Will you follow me into darkness? Will you follow me into death?"
"I will."
"Then follow."

	-- Dukhat and Delenn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"I am become Grey. I stand between the darkness and the light, .. between the candle and the star."

	-- Delenn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"Susan. What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the university."
"Well, you know me, never where I'm supposed to be."

	-- Ganya and Susan Ivanova in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"The warrior caste loves to win and hates to lose. It is easier to fight a weaker opponent and be guaranteed victory than to oppose a far more dangerous enemy."

	-- Lenonn to Morann in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"They say we'll need allies. In particular, a race that is so far unknown to us called humans. If we have not already done so by now, it is my hope that you will work with the Vorlons to find these humans and bring them into the battle on our side."

	-- Dukhat recording to Delenn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"Humans?"
"Yes. They are the key."

	-- Delenn and Kosh in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"And if the only way out is for Earth to surrender?"
"Officially that's up to the negotiators. Those are my orders. Unofficially.. We're losing this war, John. And if the only way the human race can survive is to surrender.. then we will surrender."

	-- Sheridan and Lefcourt in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space."

	-- Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"The truth points to itself."
"What?"
"The truth points to itself."
"I do not understand."
"You will."

	-- Kosh and Delenn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"We should bring one of them aboard for questioning. If our next step is a final assault on their world, we must know their defenses."
"Very well, Delenn. Choose. But quickly. We are fast running out of candidates."

	-- Delenn and Hedronn in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

"I need another bottle. I need several more bottles. And then .. wait one hour and bring the prisoners here."

	-- Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"
