Lady Morella (Babylon 5)

Sometimes people walk away because they want to be alone, and sometimes they walk away because they want to see if you care enough to follow them into hell.

To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash.

Reverend Dexter (Babylon 5)

Delenn, all we know is that we will die. It is only a matter of how, when, and whether or not it is with honor.
Lennier (Babylon 5)

You know, um...I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair.

So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.
Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)

Ivanova: Like hell. I am not letting them leave here without saying yes.
Marcus: Really? And how do you propose stopping them? Perhaps a big red and white sign with the word "stop" on it? ...I'll put a bucket on my head and pretend to be the ancient Vorlon god Boogee.
Ivanova: That's it!
Marcus: Fine. I'll get a bucket.

Kyle: Shellow.
Max: Come on.
Kyle: Well, how do we split her up, exactly? Every other week? Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, alternate Saturdays?
(Roswell)

Michael: I've been thinking.
Maria: Oh, great this usually involves me having to get my car towed.
(Roswell)

Kyle: You look really great when you're pissed.
Tess: Yeah, right.
Kyle: No, I'm serious. I feel, like, all this energy coming from you right now. In order to trim the lamp of wisdom, we must attend to our bodily needs.
Tess: Let me tell you something, Buddha-boy...I got a lamp that needs some serious trimming.

Alex: What, you think I'm being weak because I don't want anything bad to happen to you? I mean, to us? To all of us?
Isabel: You really do want to protect me, don't you?
Alex: I'd do anything.

The touch of your skin. Your lips. Knowing you has made me human. Whether I die tomorrow or fifty years from now, my destiny is the same: it's you. I want to be with you, Liz. I love you.
(Roswell)

Michael: No, I don't need anyone.
Maria: Well, maybe I do. Did you ever think of that? I mean, look at Max and Liz. They can't bear to be separated. But you, you can just throw me away. Just like that. Why is that, Michael? Why?
Michael: Maybe because I love you too much. Goodbye.
