"The River of Souls"

"Nothing good comes easy, Klaus."
"Nothing bad comes easy, either. I find it far more annoying when the universe makes you work for your damnation. I'd prefer it just gave it to me, save me the effort."

	-- Dr. Robert Bryson and Klaus in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"This symbol. This is a death symbol. And the other side, a symbol of life. Not life or death or life and death but life in death. Life eternal."

	-- Dr. Bryson in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"I was sorry to hear about Mr. Edgars passing away like that. He was a good man. A visionary."
"He was a nut, and he was a control freak."
"Well, these days, only a nut and a control freak would completely fund research into pure science."

	-- Dr. Bryson and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"I don't understand. The owner said the place was sanctioned by station personnel. That's the only reason I spent money on it."
"Lots of people claim their business is sanctioned by us. More than half of them are lying. You should never believe a claim like that without checking with us first."

	-- Mr. Clute and Lochley in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"Bryson, personal journal update. 11 June 2263. I've made contact."

	-- Dr. Bryson in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"Ok. So I believe in heaven. You've got a problem with that?"
"No heaven. Nothing beyond. Only the dark, impenetrable wall of death."

	-- Zack and Soul Hunter in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"There is strength enough in one mind, one soul, to change the universe. Can you imagine how much strength there would be in one billion souls, all focused on escape?"

	-- Soul Hunter in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"Oh, they are not harmed. Our order does not harm others unless it is necessary. It damages the soul."

	-- Soul Hunter to Lochley in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"We are taught to go wherever the spirit moves us."

	-- Soul Hunter to Lochley in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"And maybe for some souls, it's not enough just being. It's the doing that makes us what we are. If these souls were valuable, it's because of what they did or the way they saw the world."

	-- Lochley in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"Activate defense grid, launch all starfuries, and if they move, shoot them. If they don't move, shoot twice. They're probably hiding something."

	-- Lt. Corwin in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"If all they wanted was a spokesperson they could have picked any image from the holobrothel. But they chose the one they knew would draw my attention. Why else would they choose my image?"
"I heard it's very popular."
"Is it?"
"So I'm told."

	-- Lochley and Garibaldi in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"Faith is good, but sometimes, faith is blind."

	-- Soul Hunter in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"The mind sees what it needs to see. The soul sees what the soul sees."

	-- 'Lochley' to Soul Hunter in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"

"Zack was right. There is a heaven."

	-- Lochley in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"
