“The Deconstruction of Falling Stars” quotes from Babylon 5

Londo Mollari

So Doctor...who died?

Stephen Franklin

[confused] What are you talking about?

Londo Mollari

Among my people this is how we celebrate state funerals. Our marriage ceremonies are solemn, sober. Moments of reflection...also regret, disagreement, argument and mutual recrimination. Once you know it can't get any worse you can sit back and enjoy the marriage. But to start with something like this? No, it is a very bad sign for the future.

Londo Mollari

Perhaps it is something I said?

G'Kar

Perhaps it is everything you say.

Delenn

What we are isn't a matter of flesh, it's a matter of will.

Faith sustains us in the hour when reason tells us that we cannot continue, that the whole of our lives is without meaning.

Then why were we born able to reason, if reason's useless?

Not useless. But it's also not enough. Faith and reason are the shoes on your feet! You can travel further with both than you can with just one.

This is how the world ends, swallowed in fire, but not in darkness. You will live on. The voice of all our ancestors, the voice of our fathers and our mothers to the last generation. We created the world we think you would've wished for us. And now we leave the cradle for the last time.[N]

John Sheridan

...and I was wondering if they will remember us in hundred years from now or a thousand. And I figure probably not.

Delenn

But it does not matter. We did what we did because it was right and not to be remembered. And history will attend to itself. It always does.

Garibaldi

This little lab of yours...this isn't by any chance located on a military base, is it?
