Quote Episode
Bashir : 
"Nothing makes them happy. They are dedicated to being unhappy, and to spreading that unhappiness wherever they go. They are ambassadors of unhappy!"
to Sisko; bemoaning his escort duty
DS9 : The Forsaken
Bashir : 
"She enjoys it. She actually gets some kind of perverse pleasure out of it. One of these days I'm going to stop chasing her... and then we'll see."
to Himself; Regarding Dax rebuffing his advances yet again
DS9 : The Alternate
Bashir : 
"Well, your sense of humor seems normal enough."
Replicant O'Brien : "I don't have a sense of humor."
Bashir : 
"Cough."
 O'Brien coughs
Bashir : 
"How's the sex life?"
Replicant O'Brien : "I don't have a sense of humor."
 
during a physical
DS9 : Whispers
Bashir : 
"Nobody said life was fair."
Dax : 
"Even if you've had seven of them."
DS9 : Equilibrium
Bashir : 
"Causing people to suffer because you hate them is terrible... but causing people to suffer because you've forgotten how to care, that's really hard to understand."
to Sisko
DS9 : Past Tense, Part 1
Bashir : 
"Well, you do have one problem... if all you can hallucinate about is Quark's maintenance problems, you do have a sadly deficient fantasy life."
to O'Brien
DS9 : Visionary
Bashir : 
"Who told you that?"
O'Brien : 
"You did. In the future."
Bashir : 
"Oh. Well, who am I to argue with me?"
DS9 : Visionary
Bashir : 
"My... tennis balls?"
Garak : 
"This station is in worse condition than we thought."
DS9 : Distant Voices
Altovar :

DS9 : Distant Voices
Bashir : 
"What's the matter, Chief?"
O'Brien : 
"It just occurred to me. As soon as that kid graduates from the Academy, I'm going to have to call him 'sir'."
 
on Nog
DS9 : Facets
Dax : 
"It's funny, a year ago if you'd done something like this, I would have thought you were just trying to be a hero."
Bashir : 
"And now?"
Dax : 
"Now that I know you better, I realise it was just a really stupid thing to do."
DS9 : Starship Down
O'Brien : 
"When we were growing up, they used to tell us... Humanity had evolved, that mankind had outgrown hate and rage. But when it came down to it, when I had the chance to show, that no matter what anybody did to me, that I was still an evolved Human being... I failed. I repaid kindness with blood. I was no better than an animal."
Bashir : 
"No. No, no, no. An animal would've killed Ee'Char and never had a second thought, never shed a tear... But not you. You hate yourself. You hate yourself so much you think you deserve to die. The Argrathi did everything they could to strip you of your Humanity and in the end, for one brief moment they succeeded. But you can't let that brief moment define your entire life. If you do, if you pull that trigger… then the Argrathi will have won. They will have destroyed a good man. You cannot let that happen, my friend."
DS9 : Hard Time
Kira : 
"But don't forget, this... is still your fault."
Bashir : 
"My fault?"
Kira : 
"You performed the transfer from Keiko to me."
Bashir : 
"After you volunteered."
Kira : 
"After you put the idea in my head."
Bashir : 
"After you flew the runabout into the asteroid field."
Kira : 
"After you insisted we check on those anomalous bio-scans."
Bashir : 
"That was Keiko."
Kira : 
"That's right. It was, but I'd rather blame you."
 
referring to her pregnancy
DS9 : Apocalypse Rising
Bashir : 
"But you can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from lonliness anyway."
to Odo
DS9 : A Simple Investigation
Bashir : 
"Perhaps he's become prematurely aware of life's existential isolation."
to O'Brien; on a possible reason for his baby crying
DS9 : Business as Usual
Bashir : 
"You function as judge, jury and executioner. And I think that's too much power for anyone."

Quark : 
"You're both touched!"
DS9 : Image in the Sand
Quark : 
"You wanna get Jadzia to Sto-vo-kor fine, fine, go for it. But can't you do something more sensible? Make a donation in her name! Or bribe someone!"

"It doesn't work that way, Quark."
O'Brien : 
"It'd be nice if it did."

"Doctor, get to the point."
Bashir : 
"I need to borrow a cup of goo."
Odo : 
"Excuse me?"
Bashir : 
"I'll give it back!"
DS9 : When it Rains...
Bashir : 
"Section 31 must have created the virus, infected Odo, and then used him as a carrier."
O'Brien : 
"So that when he linked with another Changeling, he'd pass it on, and eventually the entire race would be infected."
Bashir : 
"31 isn't just trying to stop us from finding a cure. They're trying to cover up the fact that they set out to commit genocide."
O'Brien : 
"Well, if they gave Odo this disease, then they must have a cure."
Bashir : 
"We have to find a way to get our hands on that cure."
O'Brien : 
"Before 31 gets their hands on us."

"They're also illegal in the Federation."
Bashir : 
"Oh, I hope you can appreciate the irony of that statement."
DS9 : Extreme Measures
O'Brien : 
"Aha! Here we go. I knew Quark was hoarding a bottle of the good stuff."
Bashir : 
"This is older than I am."
O'Brien : 
"What? I'm drinking with a child."
DS9 : Extreme Measures
Garak : 
"You've been such a good friend. I'm going to miss our lunches together."
Bashir : 
"I'm sure we'll see each other again."
Garak : 
"I'd like to think so, but one can never say. We live in uncertain times."
 
Garak's last words in the series
DS9 : What You Leave Behind
Bashir : 
"The Battle of Thermopylae. Do you know it? Well, it's about a force of Spartans led by King Leonidas, who defend a mountain pass against a vast army of Persians.
Ezri : 
"What happens then?"
Bashir : 
"For two days, the Spartans lead a heroic struggle."
Ezri : 
"Until they're wiped out."
Bashir : 
"Yes. How'd you know?"
Ezri : 
"Lucky guess. I take it we'll be the Spartans?"
Bashir : 
"Fighting to the last man."
Ezri : 
"Just like the Alamo."
Bashir : 
"Exactly."
Ezri : 
"Have you talked to a counsellor about these annihilation fantasies?"
Bashir : 
"Do you think I should?"
Ezri : 
"I'll set up a session for you tomorrow."
Bashir : 
"What about tonight?"
Ezri : 
"Tonight we defend the pass."
