Quotes 

• Major Kira : Is something wrong, Opaka?

  Kai Opaka : Contemplating prophecy.

• Kai Opaka : Don't deny the violence inside of you, Kira. Only when you accept it can you move beyond it.

  Major Kira : I've known nothing but violence since I was a child.

  Kai Opaka : In the eyes of the Prophets, we're all children.

• Major Kira : I'm afraid the Prophets won't forgive me.

  Kai Opaka : They're just waiting for you to forgive yourself.

• Kai Opaka : Prophecy can often be vague, Commander. That's why we must test it.

• Kai Opaka : You were right. Kira. They don't know how to do anything else but die. They've forgotten how to live.

• Kai Opaka : I didn't know how or why, but when we came through the wormhole, I knew I wouldn't be returning. You must tell our people, Kira, that I have answered the call of the Prophets. I was brought here because it is time for these people to begin their healing process - just as you were brought here to begin yours.

  Commander Sisko : Opaka - if we can ever find a way...

  Chief Miles O'Brien : Energising.
