[Ambassador Kosh hires commercial telepath Talia for an mysterious job.]
KKosh
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
[Later, after the first meeting]
KKosh
We shall commence again tomorrow at the hour of longing.

All the clearances seem to be in order, and the pay is very generous. However, there's something I still don't understand.
KKosh
Understanding is a three-edged sword.
KKosh
Ahh. You seek meaning.
Yes.
KKosh
Then listen to the music, not the song.
[to a Drazi ship threatening to fire on the station] Vakar Ashok, our gun arrays are now fixed on your ship. They will fire the instant you come into range. You will find their power most impressive...for a few seconds.
[Sinclair returns to C&C to see how Ivanova is handling the armed vessels from many outraged non-aligned worlds.]
Well, I've managed to get the ship captains engaged in a debate over who has the best claim to Jha'dur. The winner will be the first to attack.
Creative.
[A distressed Talia presses Kosh for the meaning of his "business deal" with Abbut.]
What is he? And what was on that data crystal he gave you?
KKosh
Reflection. Surprise. Terror. For the future.
[A gloating "Deathwalker" Jha'dur reveals the secret of her immortality drug.]
JDJha'dur
You and the rest of your kind take blind comfort in the belief that we are monsters, that you could never do what we did. The key ingredient in the anti-agapic cannot be synthesized. It must be taken from living beings. For one to live forever, another one must die. You will fall upon one another like wolves. It will make what we did pale by comparison. The billions who live forever will be a testimony to my work. And the billions who are murdered to buy that immortality will be the continuance of my work. Not like us? You will become us.
[Sinclair and Garibaldi are discussing the actions of Kosh during this episode]
They say God works in mysterious ways.
Maybe so. But He's a con man compared to the Vorlon.

No one knows what is written in the stream [of Time] until the waters surround him.
After that [pacing to and fro], maybe I'll try pacing fro and to, just for the kick of it.
Don't worry about me. I'll just sit here and knit something.
KKosh
The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.
Sure is for people with nothing on the line. You and me? We just get on with it.
May God save us from false religion.
Who asked you to play God?
Every damn patient who comes through that door, that's who. People come to doctors because they want us to be gods. They want us to make it better...or make it not so. They want to be healed and they come to me when their prayers aren't enough. Well, if I have to take the responsibility, then I claim the authority too. I did good. And we both know it. And no one is going to take that away.
