I didn't mean to say that it should be kept secret, but simply that I wasn't sure of my facts.

We are starstuff, we are the universe, made manifest, trying to figure itself out. As we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective." -- Delenn (to Sheridan), "A Distant Star"
