Babylon 5 creator and writer J. Michael Straczynski wrote such engaging, heart felt and often poetic dialogue, that it is impossible to narrow down a collection of quotes from the series that completely does it justice. Though I am sure there are many missing, the collection of quotes here are what I have picked out as the most significant. Quotes can be found within the individual episode guide pages but have also been linked directly below:
