queensthiefI was thinking tonight about one of my favorite episodes of The X-Files, "Milagro". Someone just did a lovely picspam of it and it included this quote from the episode:
She was a marshal of cold facts, quick to organize, connect, shuffle, reorder and synthesize the relative hard values into discrete categories. Imprecision would only invite sexist criticism that she was soft, malleable, not up to her male counterparts. Even now, as she pushed an arrant strand of Titian hair behind her ear, she worried her partner would know instinctively what she could only guess. To be thought of as a simply beautiful woman was bridling, unthinkable. But she was beautiful. Fatally, stunningly prepossessing. Yet the respect she commanded only deepened the yearnings of her heart, to let it open, to let someone in.
It's about Scully, but just think about it relation to Attolia. It fits her well.

May I also add this quote from "Max" in season 4 as a reflection of the unity starting to show between the people and countries?
"I think that you appreciate that there are extraordinary men and women and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of these individuals. That what can be imagined can be achieved, that you must dare to dream but that there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work - and teamwork, because no one gets there alone. And that, while we commemorate the greatness of these events and the individuals who achieve them, we cannot forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible."
(said by Scully to Mulder)
