Quotes by J. Michael Straczynski

 

The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Narn or Human or Centauri or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope. It speaks in the language of trust.It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion.It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us. And the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says we are One. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, No matter the world, no matter the star, We are One. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness,No matter the loss, no matter the fear.We are One. Here, gathered together in common cause We agree to recognize this singular truth and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, And each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, The fire that will light the way to a better future. We are One.

 

Touch passion when it comes your way...It's rare enough as it is. Don't walk away when it calls you by name.
 

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
