WINN: I was wrong, I know that now. Only someone touched by the Prophets could have found B’hala.

KIRA: Does that mean you’re not going to try to block Bajor’s admittance into the Federation?

WINN: I’m going to follow the path the Emissary has laid out for us.

KIRA: I must admit I’m surprised to hear that. It takes a lot of courage to admit you’re wrong.

WINN: And you think I lack courage?

KIRA: I didn’t say that.

WINN: But it is what you think. Those of you who were in the Resistance, you’re all the same. You think you’re the only ones who fought the Cardassians, that you saved Bajor singlehandedly. Perhaps you forget, Major, the Cardassians arrested any Bajoran they found teaching the word of the Prophets. I was in a Cardassian prison camp for five years and I can remember each and every beating I suffered. And while you had your weapons to protect you, all I had was my faith and my courage. Walk with the Prophets, child. I know I will.

“We’re all with you, sir. But consider this. We are free. We have a ship, and the means to go where we will. You have proved your superior intellect and defeated the plans of James Kirk. You do not need to defeat him again.”

“He tasks me. He tasks me, and I shall have him! I’ll chase him round the moons of Nibia, and round the Antares Maelstrom, and round Perdition’s flames before I give him up.”
