Of those which have not been mentioned... the farewell speech Delenn gave upon leaving Babylon 5.
"One of the most difficult words for me was 'goodbye.' There is no corresponding word for 'goodbye' in Minbari. All of our partings contain within them the possibility of meeting again, in other places, in other times, in other lives. So you will excuse me if I do not say goodbye. Our souls are a part of this place, our hopes the foundation of our future, and we will pass this way again."
A touching reminder that to last, everything has to change. That every end contains a new beginning, and every beginning an end. That along with "Sleeping in Light" has a great emotional impact on me. But then, so does any sight of Delenn's smile, especially when she's poking fun at Sheridan or using the "more colorful aspects" of Human languages.
