"Only one human has ever prevailed against the Minbari in combat. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

That's just one of the ones that Delenn got that really sparked something in me when I watched it as a teenager. The full quote, however, begins with the query, from Delenn, "Why not? Only one Human Captain...."

Another of my personal favorites of hers is, "This body is only a shell. You cannot touch me, you cannot harm me. I'm not afraid."

Also: "I have served The Council for 16 cycles, I was the chosen of Dukhat to replace him. I held Him when he died. His Blood is on my hands, his Spirit in my eyes, his Word on my lips. You will step aside in His name and mine, or in Valen's Name, I will tear this ship apart until I find them!"

  • Full quote is: "Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"
