Byron: But where is it written that all our dreams must be small ones?"

Captain John Sheridan: Our new friend just said all the security in the world can't stop a lone gunman dedicated to exchange his life for the target, and he is right. So you may as well live instead of being a prisoner.

Captain John Sheridan: If more of our so-called leaders would walk the same streets as the people who voted them in, live in the same buildings, eat the same food instead of hiding behind glass and steel and bodyguards, maybe we'd get better leadership and a little more concern for the future.

Susan Ivanova: May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.

The world would be a much better place if everyone watched Babylon Five.

But we live in a world where people would much rather view the reality of what and who may have killed Anna Nichole Smith, who fathered the baby and who gets her money than care about the fantasy of the heroic fiction of the possible future.

So, in the knowledge that we have to live here, with the mundane, another quote:

G'Kar: It is said that the future is always born in pain. The history of war is the history of pain. If we are wise, what is born of that pain matures into the promise of a better world, because we learn that we can no longer afford the mistakes of the past.
