[last lines of the season]
G'Kar: It was the end of the Earth year 2260, and the war had paused, suddenly and unexpectedly. All around us, it was as if the universe were holding its breath...waiting. All of life can be broken down into moments of transition, or moments...of revelation. This had the feeling of both. [...] G'Quan wrote, "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender." The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born...in pain.
Season 4: No Surrender, No Retreat

[last lines of the season]
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.
Season 5: The Wheel of Fire

[last lines of the season]
Sinclair: Nothing's the same anymore.
Season 2: The Coming of Shadows

[last lines of the season]
Susan Ivanova: It was the end of the Earth year 2259, and the war was upon us. As anticipated, a few days after the Earth-Centauri treaty was announced, the Centauri widened their war to include many of the Non-Aligned Worlds. And there was another war brewing closer to home. A personal one whose cost would be higher than any of us could imagine. We came to this place because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. By the end of 2259, we knew that it had failed. But in so doing, it became something greater. As the war expanded, it became our last, best hope for victory. Because sometimes peace is another word for surrender...and because secrets have a way of getting out.
[ISN news shows Lt. Keffer's recordings of a Shadow vessel]
Newscaster: When our ship encountered a distress beacon attached to an EarthForce recording device, these images, released exclusively to ISN, were found on that recording. Strategic analysts in Earth Dome have indicated they don't know who this new race might be, but promise to find out.
Season 3: Point of No Return

[last lines of the series]
Ivanova: 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 would do it for us. It showed us that we have to 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.
Ivanova: As for Delenn, every morning for as long as she lived, Delenn got up before dawn and watched the sun come up.

ISN newscaster: And now, for those of you that have been archiving this ISN Special Documentary, the people responsible.

[last lines]
G'Kar: [about to leave the Liandra for Babylon 5] It's quite a place. A place of good times and bad, of pain and growth, but in the end a place of great hope. But if you ever do come aboard, remember one thing: No one there is exactly what he seems. But then, who is?
Books

[Lawyer Guinevere Corey interrupts the questioning of Minbari witness Ashan.]
Guinevere Corey: May I ask what you were discussing here?
Sheridan: The only thing that matters--the truth.
Guinevere Corey: Ah, yes. The favorite song of the legally ignorant.

[Lennier aproaches Marcus for help with Neroon]
Lennier: I'm trying to keep a promise. By breaking a promise. I was told not to mention this to anyone in the chain of command. You were not mentioned by name but that is implicit. However, by telling you, the captain need not find out about it and I will not have broken the promise.
Marcus: I'm in awe, Lennier. The way you can take a simple proposition and turn it inside out so that it says what you want it to say rather than what it actually says. Does this come naturally or did you attend some sort of...martial arts class for the philosophically inclined?

[Lennier brings to Delenn some ancient records after retrieving them from their guardians.]
Lennier: I managed to...explain matters to them. They will recover, in time.

[Lennier is alarmed about Neroon's challenge to Delenn assuming the title of Entil'Zha.]
Delenn: It should come as no surprise. We knew the warrior caste was unhappy with our activities.
Lennier: Unhappy?! Delenn, he's planning to kill you!
Delenn: That is...one interpretation.
Lennier: He said he would use any and all means necessary. I respectfully suggest that he intends to go far beyond harsh language.

[Lennier is concerned he has offended Captain Montoya with his curiosity.]
Findell: No, the captain does not believe in indiscreet questions. He believes the only way to get pertinent information is to ask impertinent questions.

[Lennier is in the arrivals area, stuck between two humans--one drunk, one sleeping on his shoulder.]
Drunk: I said "Sheila," "Sheila," I says, "you change that vid channel one more time and I'm outta here, you got it?" Well, she did, I did, and here I am! You shoulda seen the look on her face, let me tell you! But it's great! I get to meet all kinds of people! I mean, look! Me sitting next to you, a Minbari! You know, us in that war and all. But I don't hold a grudge, no sir! You know what? I say live and let live! You know, look, I got hair, you got a bone! So where you goin'?
Lennier: Home. I have been diagnosed with Netter's Syndrome. Since I have only seven days to live, I thought I would return home to put my affairs in order before the end.
Drunk: Netter's Syndrome? I've had a few syndromes, but I've never heard of that one.
Lennier: Neither had I. Apparently it's spread by physical contact.
[The drunk realizes he's still got Lennier by the shoulder.]
Drunk: Uh, I gotta make a call. [He gets up and walks away, while the sleeping human rolls off of Lennier's shoulder.]
Lennier: [to himself] I will do penance later.

[Lennier is visited by Morden.]
Lennier: I came for wisdom.
Morden: You don't come to the dead for wisdom, Lennier. My head was cut from my body. Even now, it rots on a pole outside the Imperial Palace. Birds have taken the hair for their nests. Maggots ate my flesh. And you want wisdom?
Lennier: Yes, I do.
. . .
Lennier: Why did you help me? I know what kind of a man you were.
Morden: Give a dog a bad name, and you can hang him with it. You shouldn't listen to everything Sheridan tells you. Actually, I'm surprised he's not here tonight, since he died at Z'ha'dum. Is there any coffee here or not?

[Lennier wakes from a coma after saving Londo and Delenn's lives in a bombing.]
Delenn: Welcome back! How do you feel?
Lennier: As though a great many heavy objects had fallen on me. But I suspect I will live.

[Londo and G'Kar are about to be pulled out of a bombed-out transport tube]
Londo Mollari: There, you see? I'm going to live!
G'Kar: So it would seem. Well, it is an imperfect universe.
Londo: Bastard.
G'Kar: Monster.
Londo: Fanatic!
G'Kar: Murderer!
Londo: You are insane!
G'Kar: And that is why we'll win.
Londo: "Go be the ambassador to Babylon 5," they say. "It will be an easy assignment!" I hate my life.
G'Kar: So do I.
Londo: Shut up!
