Quotes by Terry Nation (?)

“Gan : You're never involved, are you Avon? Have you ever cared for anyone?

Vila : ...Except yourself?

Avon : I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care. Or indeed why it should be necessary to prove it - *at all*.
