Bananas add flavor.

"Everything must come to an end. And someday it's gonna be your turn. Even the world's gotta end sometime. Everybody leaves at one time or another. And everyone gets left also. That's just fate... It's sad, but there's nothing that can be done about it."
-Mideel Villager, Final Fantasy VII.


"In our world, every storm has an end. Every night, brings a new morning.
What's important is to trust those you love, and never give up. We must all keep hope alive..."
-Priestess (Cathedral before Black Omen), Chrono Trigger.


"If you say Ming 5 times into the mirror he appears and permabans you."
-DrSpike.

"You get what anyone gets - you get a lifetime"
- Death (Sandman)


"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."
-- G'Kar in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"


"No, she's always quiet. We think maybe there's something wrong with her."
"Yes .. or something very right. The quiet ones are the ones that change the universe, Luc Derardi. The loud ones only take the credit."
-- Luc Derardi and Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"



"My people can handle themselves. We took care of the Dilgar. We can take care of the Minbari."
"Ahh, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you."
-- General Lefcourt and Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"



"The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space."
-- Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"


"I need another bottle. I need several more bottles. And then .. wait one hour and bring the prisoners here."
-- Londo in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"


"Activate defense grid, launch all starfuries, and if they move, shoot them. If they don't move, shoot twice. They're probably hiding something."
-- Lt. Corwin in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"


"Oh, but I do understand. But that's what's got you worried, isn't it? A Vorlon said understanding is a three-edged sword: your side, their side .. and the truth. The truth is we don't need you anymore."
-- Sheridan to 'Vorlons' in Babylon 5:"Into the Fire"


"Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. There would never be another. It changed the future .. and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future .. or others will do it for us. It showed us that we have care for one another, because if we don't, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely places. Mostly, though, I think it gave us hope .. that there can always be new beginnings .. even for people like us."
-- General Ivanova in Babylon 5:"Sleeping in Light"



Death is not the most tragic lost in life. the most tragic lost is what dies inside of you while your still alive.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
- Isaac Asimov


In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
- Galileo


A true friend stabs you in the front
- Oscar Wilde


If you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"
- Friedrich Nietzsche


All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
- Galileo Galilei


If you want happiness for a lifetime, help the next generation.
- Chinese proverb.


Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes it obstructs your vision.
- Chinese proverb.

That one's better in longer form IMO.

"The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. But where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life I have never seen anything like it. They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones... and they would throw themselves, without any fear or hesitation, on the very face of Death itself, never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage, their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships, they used guns. When they ran out of guns, they used knives, and sticks, and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes, at the end.
"They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage, but in the end, they ran out of time..."

I loved anything Kosh said.

[DrSpike]

The bit where he answered umpteen consecutive questions in one conversation with his own name was admittedly hilarious.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Oh no! Umpteen B5 quotes!

[duke o' york]

Because that's a great improvement on Star Trek quotes.

[Unspeakable Horror]

Thank you Kloreep

To the last two posters, suffer!

Don't make me wheel out the Doctor Who quotes. Then everyone ELSE would be suffering.

[Wernazuma III]

Do misogynist quotes apply for inclusion?

Oh, and a few quotes from Arnie:

"It's the most difficult [decision] I've made in my entire life, except the one I made in 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax." –Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing his gubernatorial candidacy on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno"

"Don't worry about that." -Arnie on the environment


"I saw this toilet bowl. How many times do you get away with this — to take a woman, grab her upside down, and bury her face in a toilet bowl? I wanted to have something floating there ... The thing is, you can do it, because in the end, I didn't do it to a woman — she's a machine! We could get away with it without being crucified by who-knows-what group." -Arnie describing a scene in "Terminator 3"


"What is best in life: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!" –from "Conan the Barbarian"

[Ben Kenobi]

"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today."

Very true.

I think I'll put that in my sig.

Here's another from the Brothers Karamazoff:

"Too much knowledge when young, makes one old."

[alva]

"What is best in life: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!" –from "Conan the Barbarian"

Isn't this a Ghengis-Khan quote? ( or was it his brother)

[Asher]

We should only have Poly quotes in the thing.
