  • “There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”
    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
  • “When we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed, spite, jealousy. And we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done.”
    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
  • “And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air.”

    Dean Stockwell - John Cavil
    [Tag:body, disgust, robot]
  • “God is not on any one's side. God is a force of nature. Beyond good and evil. Good and evil, we created those.”
    James Callis - Dr. Gaius Baltar
    [Tag:god, mankind]
  • “- Number Six: We're the children of humanity. That makes them our parents in a sense.
    - Aaron Doral: True, but parents have to die. It's the only way children can come into their own.”

    Tricia Helfer - Number Six
    Matthew Bennett - Aaron Doral
    [Tag:children, parents]
  • “To live meaningful lives we must die, and not return. The one human flaw that you spend your lifetimes distressing over mortality, it's the one thing that makes you whole.”
    Tricia Helfer - Number Six
    [Tag:death, living]
  • “We have struggled since the attacks, trying to rely on one another. Our strength and our only hope as a people, is to remain undivided. We haven't always done all we could to insure that.”
    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
    [Tag:mankind, strength]
  • “I don't want to be human! I can't even express these things properly because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! I'm a machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way!”
    Dean Stockwell - John Cavil
  • “- Admiral William Adama: Politics. As exciting as war. Definitely as dangerous.
    - President Laura Roslin: Though in war, you can only get killed once. In politics it can happen over and over.”

    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
    Mary McDonnell - President Laura Roslin
    [Tag:politics, war]
  • “As terrible as it was, something began to change. We could feel a sense of time. As if each moment held its own significance. We began to realize that for our existence to hold any value it must end.”

    Tricia Helfer - Number Six
    [Tag:changing, values, war]
  • “We decided to play God, create life. When that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.”
    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
    [Tag:arrogance, god, men]
  • “I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there.”
    Dean Stockwell - John Cavil
  • “I believe that it is never a mistake to follow your heart.”
    Jamie Bamber - Cpt. Lee 'Apollo' Adama
  • “You were born to a woman who believed that suffering was good for the soul, so you suffered. Your life is a testament to pain.”
    Callum Keith Rennie - Leoben Conoy

    Tricia Helfer - Number Six
    [Tag:god, will]
  • “The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but sometimes it's too high.”
    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
  • “Sometimes we must embrace that which opens up to us. Life can be a curse, as well as a blessing. You will believe me when I say that there are far worse things than death in this world. What I'm saying means nothing. Listen to your heart. Do that which you truly believe to be right.”

    James Callis - Dr. Gaius Baltar
  • “- Dr. Gaius Baltar: You know, I've never known you to play the optimist. Why the change of heart?
    - Number Six: Mathematics. Law of averages. Let a complex system repeat itself long enough and eventually something surprising might occur. That, too, is in God's plan.”

    James Callis - Dr. Gaius Baltar
    Tricia Helfer - Number Six
  • “Every man has to decide for themselves which side they are on.”
    Edward James Olmos - Admiral William Adama
  • “We'll sleep when we're dead, c'mon!”
    Aaron Douglas Trimble - Chief Galen Tyrol
  • “I see angels. Because there is another force at work here. There has always been. It's undeniable. Whether we want to call that God, or Gods, or some sublime inspiration, or a divine force that we can't know or understand, it doesn't matter. It's here, it exists, and our two destinies are entwined in its force.”
    James Callis - Dr. Gaius Baltar
