Babylon 5 Quote

[G'Kar is aghast at his people's enthusiasm for more fighting with the departed Centauri.]
G'Lorn: With you directing us, we will finally destroy the Centauri.
G'Kar: You have just tossed someone off that throne! Would you put another in his place so quickly? The Kha'Ri spoke with many equal voices, not the one voice of a single leader.
G'Lorn: We need strength to lead us, fire to forge us. We saw that in the Centauri, learned that from them.
G'Kar: Then you have learned the wrong lessons. I will not take the throne. If the Kha'Ri is restored, I will take my place among them, but that's all. I did not fight to remove one dictator just to become another myself.
G'Lorn: But the Centauri–
G'Kar: Are a lost people! They ought to be pitied! They are already on a course for self-destruction! They do not need help from us. We need to redress our wounds, help our people, rebuild our cities!
