Not Delenns' quote, but from a character I did not even think I liked...

Quote:
"I am Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andre and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry *** all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you will ever see. God sent me."

I too love that quote, and have for several years. I believed it when she said it too.

I always liked Susan. Delenn, as much as I couldn't stand her, still has my favorite quote, though.

"Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship."

"Why not? Only one Human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

There was so much good dialog in that show.

Personal favorite would be the Koshism's or any of the dialog between Londo and G'kar, especially when they hated each other.

Sadly marred by so many terrible, terrible actors.

(Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurassic were the best of them, by far.)

I have .wav files of that quote, and others. My wife and I constantly quote the show to each other.

And, don't forget about Swedish meatballs!

I named my daughter after Susan Ivanova. Tough. Smart. Beautiful. Feminine. And not afraid to kick someone's ***.

besides she had some of the funniest lines in the whole series....

Susan Ivanova: I've always had a hard time getting up when it's dark outside.
Jeffrey Sinclair: But in space, it's always dark.
Ivanova: [morosely] I know. I know.

------------
Garibaldi: No boom?
Sinclair: No boom.
Ivanova: No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
[Sinclair and Garibaldi exchange an exasperated look and wander off.]
Ivanova: What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here. Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!

------------------
Susan Ivanova: Confirmed, Survey 1. Upon arrival, you will report for debriefing. [pauses] And just one more thing. On your trip back, I'd like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra: "Ivanova…is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova…is God. And, if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out!" Babylon Control out. [sighs to herself] Civilians. [looks up] Just kidding about that God part. No offense.
------------------

Susan Ivanova: Ambassador, do you really want to know what's going on down there right now?
Londo Mollari: Yes, absolutely.
Ivanova: Boom. Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom. BOOM! Have a nice day.
[She walks away with a smile, leaving Londo to stew.]
Londo: Faugh! You can never get a straight answer from anyone around here!

That is my absolute favorite quote.
