Quotes 

• Vedek Winn : [to a group of children]  Remember now: honor the Prophets, and they will always love you.

  [the children leave] 

  Vedek Bareil : As I understand the Sacred Texts, the Prophets' love is unconditional. They ask nothing in return.

  Vedek Winn : Thank you, Vedek Bareil, for reminding us how the Sacred Text can be so easily misinterpreted.

  Vedek Bareil : Nothing pleases me more than providing you with an opposing viewpoint, Vedek Winn.

  Vedek Winn : Somehow you never fail to do that.

• [in Bareil's orb experience, Kira cuts a man loose who has hung himself] 

  Major Kira : Who is it?

  Vedek Bareil : [turning the man around]  It's Prylar Bek.

  Major Kira : No, it's not... It's you.

• Major Kira : I believed in you. I defended you. And Winn was right all along. And now she's gonna destroy you.

  Vedek Bareil : No. I've destroyed myself.

• [Winn has been elected the new Kai] 

  Major Kira : So... instead of you, we have Winn to lead us.

  Vedek Bareil : It is the will of the Prophets.

  Major Kira : The question is... *where* will she lead us?

  Vedek Bareil : Down paths she cannot possibly imagine. She's gonna need our help along the way, even if she doesn't realize it yet.

• Vedek Bareil : The truth is not always easy to recognise.
