    • G'Kar: What do I want? The Centauri stripped my world. I want justice. Morden: But what do you want? G'Kar: To suck the marrow off their bones, and grind their skulls to powder. Morden: What do you want? G'Kar: To tear down their cities, blacken their sky, sow their ground with salt. To completely, utterly erase them. Morden: And then what? G'Kar: ...I don't know. As long as my home world's safety is guaranteed, I don't know that it matters. Morden: I see. Well, thank you very much for your time, Ambassador. Good day.
    • Londo: All right. Fine. You really want to know what I want? You really want to know the truth? I want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy. I want to see the Centauri stretch forth their hand again and command the stars. I want a rebirth of glory, a renaissance of power. I want to stop running through my life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to look back or to look forward. I want us to be what we used to be! I want...I want it all back, the way that it was. Does that answer your question? (leaves) Morden: Yes. Yes it does.

    • When Ladira has her first vision, in the background is a electronic bulletin board with various events, including a "Mojo Mind Rave." "Mojo" is the nickname of visual effects artist Adam Leibowitz.
    • Norman Corwin, one of J. Michael Straczynski favorite writers, did a radio drama called "On a Note of Triumph."
