Quotes 

• Marcus Cole : I am a Ranger. We walk in the dark places no others may enter. We stand on the bridge, and no one may pass. We live for the One! We DIE for the ONE!

• [Neroon visits Marcus in Medlab to honor him] 

  Neroon : Denn-Shar, you said. To the death- and death there was. The death was mine. To see a Human invoke the name of Valen. To be willing to die for one of my kind when I was intent upon killing one of my own. The rightness of my cause disappeared. Strange, that a human in his last moments would be more Minbari than I. Perhaps it is true what Delenn said: That we are not of the same blood, but we are of the same heart.

  [Neroon turns to leave] 

  Marcus Cole : The next time - the next time you want a revelation - could you possibly find a way - that isn't quite so - uncomfortable?

  [Neroon laughs out loud] 

• Neroon : Why? Why all this? Pride? Duty? You've been trained well, but you must've known you couldn't win! So why do it?

  Marcus Cole : For her... We live for the one, we die for the one. Isil'zha sendi, in Valen's name.

• Lennier : I'm trying to avoid breaking a promise, by breaking a promise. I promised Delenn that I would not speak of this to the captain or let him know. She did not mention you by name, but that was implicit. If I tell the others in the chain of command then Sheridan will find out and I will have broken the promise. But if I break my promise by telling you, since you are not in the chain of command, he may not find out about this and I will not have broken the promise.

  Marcus Cole : I:m in awe, Lennier. The way you can take a straightforward, logical proposition and turn it inside out so that in the end it says what you want it to say, instead of what it actually means. Did this come naturally, or did you attend some special martial arts class for the philosophically inclined?
