quote of the day

Here are three quotes from the Sci-Fi tv show Babylon 5 episode Cometh the Inquisitor. IN that episode the main characters are interrogated by a very creepy and cynical man who works for an alien race.

"Then you make the sacrifice willingly? No fame. No armies or banners or cities to celebrate your name. You will die alone and unremarked and forgotten."---Sebastian, the Inquisitor

"How do you know the Chosen Ones? "No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his brother." Not for millions…not for glory…not for fame. For one person, in the dark, where no one will ever know or see. I have been in the service of the Vorlons for centuries, looking for you. Diogenes with his lamp, looking for an honest man willing to die for all the wrong reasons. At last, my job is finished. Yours is just beginning. When the darkness comes, know this: You are the right people, in the right place, at the right time."--Sebastian

"Good luck to you in your holy cause, Captain Sheridan. May your choices have better results than mine. Remembered not as a messenger, remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero…not even as Sebastian. Remembered only…as Jack"--Sebastian. This quote, along with dates given in the episode, imply that Sebastian is Jack the Ripper.
