Tyr quotes from Andromeda

Tyr

I have faith in nothing but this: when the Universe collapses and dies, there will be three survivors. Tyr Anasazi, the cockroaches, and Dylan Hunt - trying to save the cockroaches.

Tyr

I once told Dylan that his mission to restore the Commonwealth is nothing more than an excuse to shape the Universe according to his will. It is. But, in the past two years, for reasons I cannot begin to understand, perhaps I have come to... prefer that shape?

Tyr

We know – Your willingness to defy the universal odds is a disease that, apparently, we have all contracted.

Tyr

Remember my admonition about becoming complacent? About forgetting what it means to test our will against the universe? Well, now we have to!

Tyr

Sometimes the situation requires that we hold the hand of our enemy. The difficult part is not letting them see you while you use the other hand to draw the knife.

Tyr

Let the boy do his job...

Tyr

Nausea? Trance, you don't have a stomach.

Tyr

The universe is a beautiful place, full of wonders. And it wants to kill you.

Tyr

They are a confederacy of idiots awash in a garbage system. They even shoot lethal garbage at each other, that's what hit us, that's all they have.

Tyr

[to Dylan] If you attempt to take the Andromeda to slipstream yes, you will destroy that planet. But you, you will be free. Alive to fight another day. It would be a very Neitzschean choice.

Tyr

If the radiation is affecting me, then what do you suppose it's doing to Trance? To Harper? To you?

Beka

Tyr. Didn't know you cared.

Tyr

I care about survival. [Nonchalant] Do you?

Tyr

My people have a legend about the Battle of Witchead. They say that the Nietzschean forces arrived here with overwhelming numbers. Their victory seemed assured. But then, in the critical hour, the Angel of Death appeared, summoning forth the Fires of Hell. The Nietzschean fleet was struck down. Crippled. Their glorious victory turned to ashes.

Beka

You knew all along?

Tyr

[to Dylan] I've never seen an angel before.

Tyr

I let my own survival outweigh the survival of an entire people.

Dylan

that's a very Nietzschean thing to do

Hello Tyr. Have you come to join me in meditation?

Tyr

Meditation is for weak people with troubled minds. Is your mind troubled?

You have an interesting way of starting a philosophical discussion.

Dylan Hunt

Eureka Maru, permission to land.

Tyr

[realizing what must've happened] Dylan.

Beka

You know, I'm really starting to like that guy.
