Personally I’d feel a lot better if someone qualified were in charge around here. Is something wrong with your pilot? No, it’s just that he’s not the one giving orders. [Laura & Lee, the miniseries]

take your piety, and your moralizing, and your high-minded principles and stick ‘em some place safe till you’re off this rock and you’re sitting in your nice, cushy chair on Colonial One again

You know, I remember when President Adar sent the Marines into Aerilon. Fifteen people died. In public, of course, he had to say all the usual things: he was sure of what he’d done, made the right choice, stayed the course. But he knew it was a mistake. And he kept the names of the dead in his desk drawer. He said that it was imperative for a leader to remember and learn from the mistakes, even if they can’t admit to them publicly. Do you think we made a mistake? I don’t know. [Laura & Lee, 1x02 “Water”]
