Kira Nerys quotes from Deep Space Nine

Kira Nerys

I suppose Starfleet officers aren’t used to getting their hands dirty.

Kira Nerys

[to Sisko] This government will be gone in a week and so will you.

Kira Nerys

I am just a Bajoran who has been fighting a hopeless cause against the Cardassians all her life. So if you want a war, I’ll give you one!

Kira Nerys

Yellow alert? Against our own imaginations?

Kira Nerys

Jadzia, your questions about my experience with killing— If you're wondering what it's like— When you take someone else's life, you lose a part of your own as well.

Major Kira Nerys

[threatening Quark] Let me put it another way. If I ever catch you pointing a holo-imager at me again, you will end up eating it.

Kira Nerys

I have been lied to by Kai Winn for the last time. She wants a fight? I'll give her one.

Major Kira Nerys

[threatening Quark for inserting advertisements for his bar in DS9's systems] If all your little advertisements aren't purged from our systems by the time I get back from the Gamma Quadrant, I will come to Quark's, and believe me, I will have fun.

Kira Nerys

[to Odo] I know to Starfleet the Prophets are nothing more than wormhole aliens, but to me, they're gods. I can't prove it. Then, again, I don't have to because my faith in them is enough. Just as Weyoun's faith in you was enough for him.

Kira Nerys

(to Benyan, a Pagh-Wraith worshipper) I've always found that when people try to convince others of their beliefs, it's because they're really trying to convince themselves.

Kira Nerys

I suppose you want the office.

Benjamin Sisko

Well, I thought I would say hello first and then take the office, but we can do it in any order you like.

Kira Nerys

[sarcastically] Hello!

Kira Nerys

You are throwing it all away! All of you!

You're being a fool!

Kira Nerys

Well, then, don't ask my opinion next time!

Julian Bashir

This is where the adventure is. This is where heroes are made. Right here—in the wilderness.

Kira Nerys

This "wilderness" is my home!

Kira Nerys

Quark, if you don't take your hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again.

Quark

Oh, I love a woman in uniform.

Benjamin Sisko

Is something bothering you, Major?

Kira Nerys

You don’t want to ask me that, Commander.

Benjamin Sisko

Why not?

Kira Nerys

Because I have the bad habit of telling the truth, even when people don’t want to hear it.

Benjamin Sisko

Perhaps I want to hear it.

Kira Nerys

I don’t believe the Federation has any business being here.

Benjamin Sisko

The provisional government disagrees with you.

Kira Nerys

The provisional government and I don’t agree on a lot of things, which is probably why they sent me to this god-forsaken place. I have been fighting for Bajoran independence ever since I was old enough to pick up a phaser. We finally drive the Cardassians out, and what do our new leaders do? They call up the Federation and invite them right in!

Benjamin Sisko

The Federation is only here to help—

Kira Nerys

—help us, I know. The Cardassians said the same thing sixty years ago.
