Episode Quotes

Oma Desala: You opened the Stargate for your world.
Daniel: I cracked the code, a lot of other people made it work.
Oma Desala: The very next thing you did was help free the people of Abydos from evil.
(Daniel is holding a photograph of his late wife, Sha're)
Daniel: I had the chance to live out my life with her. I couldn't leave it alone. I was the one that unburied the Gate. What happened to her was my fault. I couldn't save Sha're. I couldn't save Sarah. Every Goa'uld I helped eliminate, another one took its place. Maybe I did something good every now and again but nothing I've ever done seems to have changed anything.
