Priest: Colonel. Colonel! Colonel McQueen! Perhaps you need to make peace with your maker.

Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius "TC" McQueen: My maker was some geek in a lab coat with an eyedropper and a petri dish. What do I need to make peace with him for?

Priest: In times of war we must all make peace with our maker.

Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius "TC" McQueen: Well, I don't think our maker wants to hear from me right now. Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe. And when I get back, I'm going to drink a bottle of scotch as if it was Chiggy Von Richtofen's blood and celebrate his death.

Priest: Amen.

"Looking darkly upon Hector,
swift-footed Achilles answered.
I cannot forgive you. As there are
no trustworthy oaths between men and lions
There shall be no love between you and me.
One or the other must fall before then to glut with his blood
Ares, the god who fights under the shield's guard.
Remember every valor of yours,
for now the need comes hardest upon you to be a
spearman and a bold warrior.
There shall be no escape for you,
you will pay in a lump for all those
sorrows of my companion's you killed
in you spear's fury."

The Iliad, as referenced in Space: Above and Beyond episode "The Angriest Angel" read by Lieutenant Colonel T. C. McQueen.

There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.
