Star Trek - Deep Space Nine Quotes

Admiral Ross: Four hundred years ago, a victorious general spoke the words at the end of another costly war: "Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no going back. We must move forward to preserve in peace what we've won in war."

Benjamin Sisko: You are pathetic!
Dukat: Then why are you the one on your knees?
Benjamin Sisko: First the Dominion, now the Pah-Wraiths. You have a talent for picking the losing side!
Dukat: Benjamin, please. We've known each other too long. And since this is the last time we will ever be together, let's try to speak honestly. We've both had our victories and our defeats. Now it's time to resolve our differences and face the ultimate truth. I've won, Benjamin. You've lost.
Benjamin Sisko: The Pah-Wraiths will never conquer anything! Not Bajor, not the Celestial Temple, and certainly not the Alpha Quadrant!
Dukat: And who's going to stop us?
Benjamin Sisko: I am!
Dukat: You can't even stand up!
Winn: Then I'll stop you.
Dukat: Are you still here?
