Quotes[]
- Michael Garibaldi: And I happen to have a knack for breaking system codes. So while you were downloading your new world order into me, I was watching your system work. I know where it comes in and I know where it goes out, and I just sent out our entire conversation - Broadcast the whole damn thing.
....
- John Sheridan: And I was wondering if they will remember us hundred years from now, or a thousand. Then I figured: probably not.
- Delenn: But it doesn't matter. We did what we did because it was right, not to be remembered. History will attend to itself, it always does.
....
- Michael Garibaldi: Holograms do not lie, Danny-boy.
....
- Michael Garibaldi: You see, the thing is, me and Sheridan were close, but I was the one who did most of the strategic planning during the war. Now, a resource like that you may not want to wipe it out just yet. I could help you.
....
- Delenn: You do not wish to know .. anything. You wish only to speak. That which you know, you ignore, because it is inconvenient. That which you do not know, you invent. But none of that matters, except that he was a good man, a kind man, who cared about the world, even when the world cared nothing for him.
