Is this Babylon 5 or Tennessee Williams? (lemm.ee)

I found this quote online often attributed to either Tennessee Williams or a Babylon 5 episode:

There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.

I think the latter is more likely but also it could just be completely made up. The epsiode title is given as Chrysalis sometimes, e. g: on IMDB.

Sounds like Londo from B5, the show isn't streaming anymore, but I do have all the episodes, I can check it later.

Edit It's Londo, to Mr. Morden:

Did it leave Tubi? My wife and I were watching it on there earlier this year!

Thank you!

I know these things are random but I wonder how it ended up misattributed to Williams of all people...

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
