Elim Garak quotes from Deep Space Nine

I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences.

Didn't anyone tell you? You see, I pretend to be their friend...then I shoot you.

To think—after all this time, all our lunches together—you still don't trust me. There's hope for you yet, doctor.

The truth is usually just an excuse for the lack of imagination.

(to Odo) Tell me something, Odo! Lie if you have to, but say it, now, please!

Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor.

Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order.

Another decorator's nightmare. This era had a distinct lack of taste.

(re: a Cardassian phaser) I guess I won't be needing this then.

[to Gul Dukat] You do have a lovely daughter. She must take after her mother.

I'd like to get my hands on that fellow Earl Grey and tell him a thing or two about tea leaves.

[Jem'Hadar soldiers beam onto Runabout] Ah! Thank you for coming. Now would you kindly point us in the direction of the wormhole? [Jem'Hadar soldier angrily hits Garak in the face with a rifle and takes him and Worf hostage]

I only wish I were still a member of the Obsidian Order. This would make a wonderful interrogation chamber. Tight quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks—it’s perfect.

Asking a Ferengi to play a Cardassian game is like asking a Klingon to chew with his mouth closed.

[to Ezri] I don't need someone to walk in here and hold my hand. I want someone to help me get back to work and you, my dear, are not up to this task. Well, look at you; you're pathetic. A confused child trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You're not worthy of the name Dax. I knew Jadzia. She was vital, alive. She owned herself, and you, you don't even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me? You can't even help yourself. Now get out of here, before I say something unkind.
