Quotes 

• Commander Sisko : Personal log, supplemental - One hour. One hour to make a decision that could mean the life or death of a civilization - or the end to our own. My mind keeps going back to the Borg, how I despised their indifference, as they tried to exterminate us. And I have to ask myself: would I be any different if I destroyed another universe, to preserve my own?

• Jake Sisko : I wanted to tell you, but I was sure you wouldn't understand.

  Commander Sisko : So now you're hiding things from me?

  Jake Sisko : You mean you would have understood?

  Commander Sisko : Of course not!

• Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Who am I to confront him?

  Commander Sisko : You're Dax.

• Commander Sisko : So - what are you going to do? This kid has to measure up soon, or he'll never be chosen. True? So you're not doing him any favors by avoiding a confrontation, are you? Curzon was tough - maybe even abusive in his own charming way. But he always demanded the highest standards of excellence from these host candidates.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : You don't know what he did to me.

  Commander Sisko : I know you made it through the program.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : No thanks to him.

  Commander Sisko : Are you sure?

• Commander Sisko : So, you're the one who picked the black marble?

• Commander Sisko : Phasers on stun, Mr. O'Brien. I want those voles taken alive.
