Rommie: If they're such an immature society, why don't we simply reprogram them?
Beka: Reprogram them?
Rommie: Yes, within minutes I could update their technology by at least a thousand years.
Dylan: [alluding to Adam Smith] Yeah, uh huh, I'm afraid that would be a bit overwhelming. It's a little hard to upgrade their hearts or their minds. Unfortunately that takes time and the guidance of an invisible hand.
Beka: Guidance? Dylan, you make them sound like children.
Dylan: Well they are children. [Beka looks at him] For the most part they have no idea how dangerous the universe is.
Beka: Then it's the universe that needs to be reprogrammed.

TV Show: Andromeda
Dylan: Why chase a myth when there's still so much to learn about our own world?
Tori: Well, look up there. [at the sky] Isn't the best way to learn about our world understanding its place in the universe? We have no idea whether we're alone or part of something too... remarkable and vast to even imagine.
Dylan: Maybe we are alone. We still haven't proven that there's life out there.
Tori: I don't need a mathematician to tell me the universe is designed for life.

Semel: That we have each other. That's my sense of hopeless romance.

Tyr: [to Gaiton] I am so very sick of you and every Nietzschean like you. I'm sick of your rancid stink of failure and inferiority. I'm sick of your souls that have grown so stale.
Gaiton: It is only a mask to hide a sweeter purpose.

TV Show: Andromeda
Gaiton: Oh to be all powerful, traveling slipstream in total confidence, no fear of disaster or detection. Remarkable, our people created this. The detail and beauty.. it's science, art, and poetry unified. Our people created this. And yet I can't even recognize myself.
Tyr: There you are. There you are, reflected in the mind of Drago Musevni.
Gaiton: How could I have convinced myself... how could I have let them convince me that he was just some rich old man?
Tyr: He was a poet... a scholar, a magnificent warrior. He was a living god.
Gaiton: What happened to us?
Tyr: Time happened to us. Time changed the universe! But, Gaiton, if the ancestors could do that, you and I... we can change the universe again, if we will it. [the two characters celebrate and affirm the will to power]


TV Show: Andromeda

Tyr: Are you an idiot?

Tyr: You're searching for water, while you're drowning in the depth of the sea. Your only love is enlightenment. Love, desire, enlightenment, revenge... these are not emotions, simply traps to ensnare your will.

Tyr: But the will to overcome an emotion, is merely the will for some other emotion to triumph.

TV Show: Andromeda
Monk: What does this mean?!
Tyr: Uh.. enlightenment... is not found in spiritual leaders or in [shrugs] meditation. Take care of your followers. Enlightenment will find you.
Monk: [bows awestruck, and leaves with his brethren]
Tyr: Anything to be rid of these clowns.

TV Show: Andromeda
Harper: I gotta hand it to ya, boss. Nice performance. You out-conned a con-artist. You played the love-struck captain, the zealous defender of her honor, even the betrayed friend, and still... you completely fooled her.
Dylan: I only tricked her. I didn't fool either one of us.

TV Show: Andromeda

Stark: [nods slightly] My troops refer to me as the Patriarch.
Dylan: Your troops, the Templars, a guerilla army founded after the fall of the Commonwealth.
Stark: Founded by an ancestor of mine, an Admiral Constanza Stark. You knew her, didn't you?

TV Show: Andromeda

Dylan: It's funny. That's usually my line.
Stark: Yes, great minds, Captain Hunt. Great minds.

TV Show: Andromeda
Dylan: "The choice is yours."
Rommie: So, is it the man's presumption that bothers you or the fact that he sounds like you?
Dylan: I'll let you in on a little secret. Those aphorisms I like to use? "The choice is yours," for example. I learned them all from Admiral Stark.

TV Show: Andromeda
