"The war which began six months ago is able to end sooner than any of us
 could have hoped. And you, Londo Mollari, will be the architect of our
 victory."

"There's always hope. At least that's what I tell myself when I awaken in
 the middle of the night and the only sound I can hear is the beating of
 my own desperate heart."

"I wish I were going with you."
'Your place is here, G'Kar. We will need alliances, support, even sympathy.
    In the final analysis, your work here could be more important than a
    fleet of ships.'

"All right, I will bring my associates into this, but this is the last time.
 We are Centauri. If we are to seize our destiny, we must do it ourselves.
 After this, no more."

"Captain, I have watched you since your arrival. At first I wasn't sure
 about you, but your decisions have been wise, your attitudes commendable,
 and your patience vaster than mine would have been under similar
 circumstances."

"This has been a hard and trying year for you, Captain Sheridan. It might
 be helpful to you to know that you are not alone and that in the long,
 twilight struggle which lies ahead of us, there is the possibility of hope."

"A little over five standard hours ago, the conflict which began with the
    Narn declaration of war came to an end. The Narn Regime has offered
    complete and unconditional surrender. The terms imposed by the Centauri
    Republic are as follows. One, the ruling body, known as the Kha'Ri will
    be disbanded and its members subject to arrest and trial for the
    commission of war crimes against the Centauri."
'Earth requests the right to send observers to these hearings.'
That request is denied. Two. To prevent further acts of terror by the Narn
    against our people, from this day on, the penalty for the murder of any
    Centauri by any Narn will be the execution of five hundred Narns,
    including the perpetrator's own family. Three. A provisional ruling
    council appointed by my government will take up the responsibility of
    rebuilding a more civilized Narn government as a colony of the greater
    Centauri Republic."
'Is there anything else?'
"Yes. Just one thing. Because the Narn homeworld is now a protectorate of
    the Centauri Republic, we reserve the right to determine who can speak
    for Narn. As a result, Ambassador G'Kar may no longer represent the
    Narn in any official capacity whatsoever. His appointment as ambassador
    to Babylon 5 is hereby withdrawn. As the only member of the Kha'Ri
    still at large, Citizen G'Kar will return to Narn for trial."

"No dictator...no invader...can hold an imprisoned population by force of
 arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for
 freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot
 stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them
 again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free."
        -- G'Kar (to Londo), "The Long, Twilight Struggle"
%%
"And dancing in the streets as Centauri Emperor Cartagia declared a
 week-long public celebration to commemorate the recapture of the Narn
 homeworld. In related news, the Centauri Republic today announced plans
 to annex several smaller worlds adjacent to Narn space, declaring them
 protectorates of the Republic. While government spokesmen insist that
 the Centauri do not have any expansionist plans beyond retaking the Narn
 homeworld, others in Earthdome are less sure."

"The last time I offered someone my hand, we were at war twenty-four

"There must of one fortress of light to stand against the darkness. That

"Well, I don't quite know what to say. For the last year, things haven't
 exactly been going our way. I started to wonder if it would ever get
 better. I think it just did. Tell the other Rangers, the ambassadors,
 everyone in this army of light that Babylon 5 stands with you. Tell them...
 tell them that from this place, we will deliver notice to the parliaments
 of conquerors that a line has been drawn against the darkness, and we will
 hold that line, no matter the cost."
