Memorable QuotesEdit

"I believe when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains."

"Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thoughts and words we've exchanged."

"Long after we have gone our voices will linger in these walls, for as long as this place remains."

"But I will admit that the part of me that is going, very much will miss the part of you that is staying."

– G'Kar
