Memorable quotesEdit
“"Did you know this place was named after the god of war? Its rising foretold the death of kings, the collapse of empires. It was a very bad sign. Now there are 2 million people living here."
"It's still a bad sign."
- – Wade to Michael Garibaldi
“"Do you know how the ancient Greeks defined happiness?"
"Not offhand, but I'd be willing to bet it involved three goats and a jug of wine."
"Happiness, they said, was the exercise of vital powers along lines of excellence in a life affording them scope."
- – William Edgars to Michael Garibaldi
