- Henry Bromel, Northern Exposure, The Big Kiss, 1991
- A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?

That's an age-old question. It's perfect food for thought on a bright midsummer's night.
- Martin Sage and Sybil Adelman, Northern Exposure, The Bumpy Road to Love, 1991
- The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
- Craig Volk, Northern Exposure, A-Hunting We Will Go, 1991
