I concur: adding fantasy quotes to serious subjects dilutes the seriousness and credibility of the topic.

Fantasy?

Regardless of the source, it seems a pretty accurate take on human nature.

Yes, Star Trek: Deep Space nine is a fantasy.

It is an accurate take on human nature... a take which could be found in many other quotes taken from actual humans or actual human history or actual human accounts of disasters involving humans.
