	Winn: "I admire you for standing by your convictions. Even though I disagree with them. Please believe me, I want to find a way to allow these children to stay in your school..." Keiko: "I'm sure the children and their parents are happy to hear you stay that." Winn: "Let me be the one to make the first concession. I will no longer request that you teach anything about the Celestial Temple. Just don't teach anything about the wormhole at all." Keiko: "Ignore it...?" Winn: "Find other things to teach the children." Keiko: "And when we get to theories of evolution or the creation of the universe, what then?" Winn: "We'll face those issues when we come to them." Keiko: "I'm a teacher. My responsibility is to expose my students to knowledge. Not hide it from them. The answer is no."
	Odo: "This is not what I wanted to talk to you about. What do you know about the murder of Ensign Aquino?" Quark: "You wound me! All these years together, I thought you knew me. Odo, I am not a killer." Odo: "No, but most of your friends are." Quark: "True. And I would gladly sell one of them to you if I could."
	Odo: "I checked the turbolift records the night of the murder. Aquino did take a turbolift to level three, but not to the power conduit where he was found..." Jadzia: "Where did he go?" Odo: "Runabout Pad C..." O'Brien: "A runabout...? What was he doing at a runabout at four in the morning?" Odo: "Apparently, he was getting murdered."
	Vendor: "Seek the Prophets!" Odo: "Huh. Seek them yourself."
	Bareil: "Today, I am only a Vedek. If the prophets will it, someday, I may be Kai. And I can be a better friend to you then." Sisko: "In other words, being my friend now might hurt your chances." Bareil: "The prophets teach us patience." Sisko: "It appears they also teach you politics."
	Sisko: "It's easy to look back seven centuries and judge what was right and wrong."
	Sisko: "These people know that we are neither the enemy nor the devil, We don't always agree. We have some damn good fights in fact. But we always come away from them with a little more understanding and appreciation of each other."
	Sisko: "We're all very good conjuring up enough fear to justify whatever we want to do."
	Sisko: "My philosophy is that there is room for all philosophies on this station."
	Winn: "I once asked Kai Opaka why a disbeliever was destined to seek the prophets. She told me one should never look into the eyes of one's own gods."
