Quotes 

• Delenn : I look forward to meeting a Vorlon. I've heard much about them that is strange.

  Jeffrey Sinclair : Such as?

  Delenn : Do you not have files on the Vorlons?

  Jeffrey Sinclair : Absolutely, very large files. There's nothing in them, of course.

• [Recalling the Battle of the Line] 

  Jeffrey Sinclair : The sky was full of stars, and every star an exploding ship. One of ours.

• Jeffrey Sinclair : A poem- A story in meter or rhyme.

  Delenn : Ahh, there once was a man from Nantucket...

  Jeffrey Sinclair : [chuckles]  You've been talking to Garibaldi again, haven't you?

  Delenn : Yes. How did you know?

• Jeffrey Sinclair : There's a 24 hour period in my life that I can't account for; it happened during the war with your people. You wouldn't be holding anything out on me, would you old friend?

  Delenn : Commander, I would never tell you anything that was not in your best interest.

• Garibaldi : Think they'll ever find that transmitter you slipped G'kar?

  Sinclair : No. Because there isn't one.

  Garibaldi : There isn't? Wait...

  Sinclair : I lied. I figured if there was a transmitter, sooner or later they'd find it and remove it. But if I just told them there was, they'd keep looking - indefinitely.

  Garibaldi : Commander, do you have any idea of the tests they'll put him through? The things they'll do to him, trying to find a transmitter that's not there?

  Sinclair : Yes. Come on.

  Garibaldi : There are some days I just love this job.

• Jeffrey Sinclair : Sooner or later everyone comes to Babylon 5.

• Delenn : By the way, there is something I've been wondering. Why Babylon 5? If the prior four stations were lost or destroyed, why build another?

  Sinclair : Plain, old human stubbornness, I guess. When something we value is destroyed, we rebuild it. If it's destroyed again, we rebuild it again. And again, and again, and again - until it stays. That, as our poet Tennyson once said, is the goal: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
