Captain John Sheridan: I wish I had your faith in the universe. I just don't see it. Delenn: Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of them all.

And here is as great an adventure as I have ever heard of, and here, if we turn back, no little impeachment of all our honours.
