• Nog : [after losing his leg]  Captain... The communications array - it's worth it, right?

  Captain Sisko : I hope to God it is.

• Lt. Commander Worf : This was a great victory - one worthy of story and song.

• [last lines] 

  Colonel Kira : Sir, the latest casualty reports have just been posted.

  Captain Sisko : How many this time?

  Colonel Kira : Including the troops lost at AR-558 - 1730.

  Captain Sisko : [whispering]  1730...

  Colonel Kira : It's a lot of names.

  Captain Sisko : They're not just names. It's important we remember that. We have to remember.

• Captain Sisko : I think that's what I'm going to remember most about this war - looking through casualty reports. Sometimes it feels like that's all I do - stare at the names of the dead. When the war started, I read every name. I felt it was the least I could do to honor their sacrifices... But now, the names have begun to blur together.

• Reese : [of the replacement troops]  Children.

  Captain Sisko : Not for long.

• Captain Sisko : We held.

  Reese : Those were our orders, sir.

• Larkin : Sir, what're your orders?

  Captain Sisko : There's only one order, Lieutenant. We hold.
