Commander William Adama: There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the
people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

Brother Cavil: In all your travels, have you ever seen a star go supernova?
No? Well, I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A
supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in
the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears
designed only to hear vibrations in the air
Ellen Tigh: The five of us designed you to be as human as possible.
Brother Cavil:
I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of
what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken
language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a
machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! And why? Because my five creators thought that
God wanted it that way!
