Mira Furlan: Delenn

Quotes 

• Dukhat : Why do you come here, Delenn?

  Delenn : I come to serve.

  Dukhat : Who do you serve?

  Delenn : I serve the truth.

  Dukhat : What is the truth?

  Delenn : That we are one people, one voice.

  Dukhat : Will you follow me into fire? Will you follow me into darkness? Will you follow me into death?

  Delenn : I will.

  Dukhat : Then follow.

• Delenn : They fight bravely. They cannot harm our ships but they continue to try.

  Coplann : Whether they fight or not they know the will die anyway, so really is this bravery or simple desperation?

• Delenn : He was the best of us. They struck without provocation, there was no reason. Animals! Brutal! They deserve no mercy! Strike them down, follow them back to their base and kill all of them, all of them! No mercy!

• Delenn : It is said that in every age, there is one singular event that forever changes the world around us. A nexus, if you will.

  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.

  Delenn : But in the pain of that war, a future was born. A future that would one day have a name whispered on a hundred worlds. A final refuge for dreams, a last best hope for peace. Babylon 5.

• Delenn : What glory is there in eliminating an entire race, Coplann?

  Coplann : Not as much as in the beginning.

• Delenn : Are you there?

  Kosh : We have always been here.

• Delenn : I don't know what to do. Tell me... Tell me what to do.

  [pause. Delenn starts to leave. As she passes Kosh] 

  Kosh : The truth points to itself.

  [Delenn stops and turns around] 

  Delenn : What?

  Kosh : The truth points to itself.

  Delenn : I do not understand.

  Ulkesh : You will.

  Delenn : But...

  Ulkesh : Go now.

  Kosh : Go. Before it's too late.
