It had to happen sooner or later...with so many message boards and posts
asking "What's your favorite B5 quote?" a book of Babylon 5 quotes was
inevitable.
So "But In Purple I'm Stunning: Quotations from Babylon 5" is coming out
from an independent publisher later this year. The book will also contain
sections dedicated to fan choices for best/favorite quote. Fans of Babylon
5 are invited to send in their favorite quote, and why it's a favorite.
The best of these emails will be culled for the book, and along the way
this will determine the #1 favorite quote.
In particular, the book will be looking for anecdotes/stories from fans
about what a given quote, or what the show, meant to them in particular.
There are a lot of people who have found comfort or meaning in the show, or
found it helped them get through some of life's problems. (An example I
sometimes cite at conventions was the young man dying of aids who asked his
sister to put all of G'Kar's speeches about hope and never giving up on
tape so he could listen to them at his bedside.)
It needn't be a heavy story, just one that has meaning for the person
involved, can be a funny story, whatever. Basically the goal is to find
the intersection where the show and its message and its words touched
people.
All contributions will be considered free to use by virtue of being
submitted for this project.
So if you have such an anecdote/story/message about a favorite quote or the
show in general, send it to the following address (rather than replying to
this, since I'll just have to forward it on in any event):
b5quotes@
Thanks.

Personally I'd go for
"Only one human captain has ever beaten the Minbari
He is behind me, You are in font of me
If you value your lives be somewhere else"
because of the moment it represents and the surprise when I first saw the
scene: Having fought a battle Sheridan's defenses are non existant against
the 2nd wave of attackers, the jump alarm is going off, you expect it to be
more Earth force and it's not, it's the Minbari lead by Delenn who's not
had a good day anyway, they've set up in the plot that she's coming but
with everything else that's going on you've forgotton about it.... And
*then* she gets real upset to find someone's trying to blow her home and
the guy she like's up.
