"Babylon 5" And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder (TV Episode 1998) - Bruce Boxleitner as President John Sheridan

[last lines]

Captain John Sheridan : What does the candle represent?

Delenn : Life.

Captain John Sheridan : Whose Life?

Delenn : All Life. Every Life. We are all born as molecules in the hearts of a billion stars. Molecules that do not understand politics or policies or differences. Over a billion years, we foolish molecules forget who we are and where we came from. In desperate acts of ego, we give ourselves names, fight over lines on maps, and pretend that our light is better than everyone else's. The flame reminds us of the piece of those stars that lives on inside us. The spark that tells us: "You should know better." The flame also reminds us that life is precious as each flame is unique. When it goes out, it's gone forever. And there will never be another quite like it. So many candles will got out tonight. I wonder some days if we can see anything at all.
Captain John Sheridan : Now we gave you a promise. And we are bound by that promise! And damn you for asking for it! And damn me for agreeing to it! And damn all of us to hell because that is exactly where we're going! We talked about peace! You didn't *want* peace! We talked about co-operation! You didn't *want* co-operation! You want war! Is that it? You want a war! Well, you've got a war!

Captain John Sheridan : Delenn, are you all right? You should sleep. It'll be morning soon. You'll need all your strength for what's ahead.
