Quotes 

• Trevean : More than anything, the Dominion wanted my people to bear the mark of their defiance. So... they brought us the blight. We're all born with it - we all die from it. When the blight quickens, the lesions turn red. Death soon follows. Some in childhood, most before they can have children of their own. Only a few live to be my age.

• Doctor Bashir : I thought this was a hospital, and that you were a healer.

  Trevean : I am. I take away pain.

• [Bashir has developed a vaccine against the blight] 

  Doctor Bashir : The vaccine isn't difficult to make. But seeing that everybody gets it will be a huge task.

  Trevean : Oh, not a task. A privilege. Can you show me how to make it?

  Doctor Bashir : I was hoping you'd ask that.

• Doctor Bashir : I just want to do what I can to help, I'm not making any promises.

  Trevean : Take care that you don't. Because we have dealt with people who give false hope before. Believe me, their deaths make the blight look like a blessing.
