"The Narn and Centauri were at each others' throats, the Vorlons had some kind
of an agenda that no one could understand, the Minbari leadership hated me
immediately and unconditionally, and Ambassador Delenn was hibernating in
some kind of a cocoon.  And that was just the end of the first day."

"There's the story she told us, but then the Minbari never tell you the
 whole truth."

"Things can get kind of weird out on the rim, too. It's funny. You never
 know what you're going to find when you look over the edge of what's
 known and into what's not."
        -- Maynard, "A Distant Star"
%%
"I am more 'one of us' at this moment, than I have ever been. More than you
 will ever know."

"Understanding is not required. Only obedience."

"I'll gain weight!"
'Briefly, yes.'
"Figures.  All my life I've fought against imperialism, now suddenly
  I am the expanding Russian frontier."
'But with very nice borders.'

"The adventure is out there, Jack. Man has to go meet it."
'Well, sometimes it comes to you. Wait for it Johnny.'

"If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians
 would come out of the...the gene pool, they'd a stayed up in the trees
 and written evolution off as a bad idea. Hell, I always thought the
 opposable thumb was overrated."
        -- Sheridan, "A Distant Star"
%%
"An old friend of mine once quoted me a ancient Egyptian blessing: 'God
 be between you and harm, and all the empty places where you must walk.'"
        -- Sheridan, "A Distant Star"

"Starfury, this is the Cortez.  We can come after you."
'Nav system not functioning, engines down.  You come after me and we'll
both get lost.  Go!'
"Thanks, Starfury."

"The universe puts us in places where we can learn. They are never easy
     places, But they are right. Wherever we are is the right place at the
     right time. The pain that sometimes comes. It is part of the process
     of constantly being born." 
'You sound like you've been doing some thinking about this on your own.'
"Perhaps. We are both, I suppose, going through transitions. But the
    universe knows what it's doing." 
        -- Delenn and Sheridan, "A Distant Star"
%%
"I will tell you a great secret, Captain.  Perhaps the greatest of all
 time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up
 this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars
 themselves. We are starstuff, we are the universe, made manifest, trying
 to figure itself out. As we have both learned, sometimes the universe
 requires a change of perspective." 
        -- Delenn (to Sheridan), "A Distant Star"

Z: "As for what it was, I don't know. There was just this feeling that
   something dark and dangerous had gone by. You know that feeling like
   somebody just walked on your grave? That's the only way I can describe
   it."
M: "This feeling that something's out there, you just never forget it."
Z: "I want to know what it is."
I: "I'm sure we'll find out one of these days."
        -- Warren Keffer, Captain Jack Maynard, and Ivanova, "A Distant Star"

"You think that's good, wait until dessert."
'Well now, wait a minute. I didn't authorize dessert.'
"No? Then you can't have any."
'What is it?'
"Doesn't matter, you're not getting any."
        -- Garibaldi and Dr. Franklin, "A Distant Star"
%%
"Ever had a long talk with Ambassador Delenn, Commander?"
'From time to time. Why?'
"She and the universe seem to have a special relationship."
'Don't we all?'
