Andromeda

Rhade: A man makes his own fate.

Rhade: You know what they say: 'You can lead a Nightsider to water, but you can't make him spawn.'

Rhade: The only way for a Nietzschean to improve himself, is to engage in continual self-assessment.

Rhade: Everything is about politics. Dylan: Everything? Friends? Family? Rhade: Everything!

Rhade: You know the old saying: 'Keep your friends close; Keep your enemies under constant surveillance.'

Rhade: History will judge me a traitor for what I am about to do, but if he fails, if Dylan fails, imagine how they'll judge him. Trance: With silence.

Rhade: Nietzscheans used to say we acted out of 'enlightened self-interest'. The problem with Bolivar and his ilk is that they've forgotten the most important word- 'enlightened'!

Trance: Right here, right now, you have a very unique opportunity. To re-shape the entire universe according to your own will! And--this opportunity isn't going to come to you again. Rhade: You can't know that. I can still do this. I can still rebuild what I helped to destroy! Trance: With no friends...no allies? Even as we speak, Harper and the Perseids are on the way to the machine shop, and one of them is not going to make it.

Rhade: I don't suppose you have any witty, but marginally helpful thought you want to offer? Beka: No. I wish I did.

Trance: Trust me, Captain, please. Let me help you create the future that you wished for when you killed your best friend. Let me help you save him.

Dylan: Strange... Harper: What? Us standing here over a dead Nietzschean on ice? Yeah it's strange, but it's also kinda nice, isn't it?

Dylan: Are you saying I can't trust you? Rhade: I'm saying you can't afford to take any chances.
