| Sisko : | "Are you suggesting that I'm dismissing this prophecy too easily because I don't want to be the Emissary?" |
| Odo : | "I'm not suggesting anything. But it's been my experience that all humanoids have an agenda of some sort, and that their agendas can influence them without their even realising it." |

| Gilora : | "It's been my experience that..." |
| O'Brien : | "What? That humans aren't good engineers?" |
| Gilora : | "No, not humans. Males." |
| O'Brien : | "I beg your pardon?" |
| Gilora : | "Men just don't seem to have a head for this sort of thing. That's why women dominate the sciences." |
| O'Brien : | "Maybe on Cardassia. But on this station, this man is Chief of Operations, and I know more about these systems anyone, including you." |

| Sisko : | "Do you really believe that I'm the Emissary?" |
| Kira : | "I guess I always have. I never wanted to admit it to myself. It's hard to work for someone who's a religious icon." |

| Sisko : | "It would seem that our scientific methodologies differ slightly. It is our practice to examine all possibilities, no matter how unlikely, before we proceed with field tests." |
| Ulani : | "We would, of course, prefer to operate that way as well. However, since the Science Ministry falls under the jurisdiction of the military, we have to follow certain rules. One of them is not to make any project look unnecessarily dangerous." |

| Dax : | "You can make your own decisions, or you can let these prophecies make them for you." | | to Sisko |
