Learning Curve (1998)

Turhan Bey: Turval

Quotes 

• Delenn : [Discussing a Pak'ma'ra ranger recruit]  If the Pak'ma'ra cannot learn to be what we think they should be then perhaps we should learn to use them for what they are.

  Durhan : Well, we've already considered using them for garbage disposal but there are some things that even a Pak'ma'ra won't eat.

  Turval : We think.

  Durhan : We think, yes. We haven't actually discovered what that is yet.

• Turval : Anyone can meditate in silence. That is hardly a challenge worthy of a Ranger.

  Rastenn : A challenge is to stand alone, unarmed, prepared to die. I would hardly say sitting and thinking is a challenge.

  Turval : True. You do seem to have the sitting part down to an art so I suppose there is hope. As for thinking, well, let's leave that for the advanced classes. We shouldn't expect too much of you at once.

• Turval : Being Anla'shok does not mean worrying about what others will think about us. It means living each moment as if it were your last one. It means doing each right thing because it is the right thing. The scale doesn't matter.

• Turval : Here is the greatest truth that I know: Your death, Rastenn, will have a meaning if it comes while you're in the fullest pursuit of your heart.
