That line seems to have stuck with a lot of people if only because it gets repeated three times. For me it brough to mind the myth of Icarus. Wash achieved his perfect flight and got skewered by incoming Reavers. The Alliance believed it had its perfect society within grasp and all that's left are the Reavers. Although I suppose the Alliance being essentially paternalistic is more like Daedelus than Icarus. Still maybe father and son share the same fault in the end. The desire to take something that can only be transient, whether the ecstacy of flight or the protective cocoon of childhood, and make it last forever.
