The Series
"Darling, very little on this planet makes sense, by Earth’s standard."
— John Robinson, "The Hungry Sea"
"I said to cut it out!… Why don’t you stop fooling around and take me to your leader?… You aliens are all alike. You never come out and say what’s on your mind. Never save time and trouble. You’re always trying to scare somebody!… If you’re not going to be sensible about this, please leave. I kind of want to think."
— Will Robinson (in a well-deserved moment of Seen It All), “The Astral Traveler”
"Dr. Smith isn’t a good man, but he’s not a bad one, either. The thing is, he’s alive. He’s a man, like you were once. Remember how it was when you could be strong and weak all at the same time? When you wanted to do good things but they turned out bad, because you were human and a man like Dr. Smith? Angus, please, ask Hamish to let Dr. Smith go."
— Will Robinson (pleading with a couple of ghosts to spare Dr. Smith’s life), “The Astral Traveler”
John Robinson: "It’s you who’ve wasted time and effort. Hundreds of years of it."
Alien conqueror: "I am not interested in your opinions.'
John Robinson: "No, you people never are. You never listen, never learn. You’re all the same, you would-be conquerors. Whether it’s a continent, the world, or the universe; a few pages in history in exchange for millions of lives. Is it really that important to you?"
— "Lost Civilization"
"Dear William. Don't be in such a hurry to grow up. It isn't really worth it."
— Dr. Smith, "The Questing Beast"
