"Savor the mystery, Stephen. We don't get nearly enough of them."
        -- Vance Hendricks (to Dr. Franklin), "Infection"
%%
"Nothing in his personnel jacket to suggest a heart condition."
'Yes, and exactly which medical school did you attend, Mr. Garibaldi?'
        -- Garibaldi and Dr. Franklin, "Infection"
%%
"This is a blueprint for living machines. The Vorlons have one. Some
 people even say the Minbari have them. We haven't seen enough of them
 up close to get any idea of how they work."
        -- Vance Hendricks, "Infection"
%%
"The last time I gave an interview, they told me to just relax and say what
 I really felt. Ten minutes after the broadcast, I got transferred to an
 outpost so far off the starmap, you couldn't find it with a hunting dog
 and a Ouija board."
        -- Sinclair, "Infection"
%%
"What's the worst that could happen? They fire you, ship you off to the
 Rim and I get promoted to Commander. I don't see a problem here.
        -- Garibaldi (to Sinclair), "Infection"
%%
"Stephen? Stephen, there's a Martian war machine parked outside. They'd
    like to have a word with you about the common cold."
'Tell them to make an appointment.'
        -- Vance Hendricks and Dr. Franklin, "Infection"
%%
"In the last five years, I've seen things off-world you can't even imagine.
 I've stood in the Abendi desert and watched all seven moons go into
 eclipse. I've walked in vaults that have been sealed longer than
 there's been a human race, breathing air that's five million years old.
 You call that a shortcut, if you will, but I've lived. By God, Stephen,
 I have *lived*."
        -- Vance Hendricks, "Infection"
%%
"Don't. You're too young to experience that much pain."
        -- Susan Ivanova (to ISN reporter Mary Ann Cramer), "Infection"
%%
"Win, lose or draw, this thing's going to know it was in a fight."
        -- Garibaldi, "Infection"
%%
"There's one problem, Commander.  How do you define a pure Icaran, or a
pure human?  No one is pure.  No one."
  -- Franklin, "Infection"
%%
"You forgot the first rule of the fanatic:  when you become obsessed with
the enemy, you become the enemy."
  -- Sinclair, "Infection"
%%
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
        -- Ivanova (quoting Santiana), "Infection"
%%
"I know a lot of guys who came out of the war changed.  Some came out
better, some came out worse.  A lot of them have this problem:  the war
gave them definition, direction, purpose.  Without it they don't know how
to fit in anymore, so they keep looking for ways to go out in a blaze of
glory.  Some people call it being a hero, maybe so. I don't know.  I've
never been one.  Me, I think they're looking for something worth dying for
because it's easier than finding something worth living for."
  -- Garibaldi to Sinclair, "Infection"
%%
"You'll excuse me, if you need me I'll be over there, getting drunk with
the rest of the aliens."
  -- Susan Ivanova, "Infection"
%%
"Is it worth it? Should we just pull back, forget the whole thing as a
    bad idea and take care of our own problems at home?"
'No. We have to stay here and there's a simple reason why. Ask ten
    different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics
    and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every
    scientist on the planet agrees on: Whether it happens in a hundred
    years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will
    grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll
    take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu and Einstein and Morobuto and Buddy
    Holly and Aristophenes...and all of this...all of this was for nothing
    unless we go to the stars.'
        -- Mary Ann Cramer interviewing Sinclair, "Infection"
