The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized/Quotes

"Blake: I meant what I said on Goth, Avon. We are not going to use Star One to rule the federation. We are going to destroy it.

Avon: I never doubted that. I never doubted your fanaticism. As far as I am concerned, you can destroy whatever you like. You can stir up a thousand revolutions. You can wade in blood up to your armpits. Oh, and you can lead the rabble to victory, whatever that might mean. Just so long as there is an end to it. When Star One is gone, it is finished, Blake. And I want it finished. I want it over and done with. I want to be free.

Cally: But you are free now, Avon.

Avon: I want to be free of him."

- Blakes Seven
