Quotes 

• Odo : I've spent most of my life bringing people to justice. Now that it's my turn, how can I run away?

• [Garak has called Odo to his shop to introduce him to Chalan Aroya, a Bajoran woman] 

  Odo : [after Aroya has left]  The next time you call me, it had better be to report a crime.

  Garak : Now that you mention it, I've just witnessed a crime. Letting Aroya walk out of here without arranging a date, you should be locked away for that!

  Odo : [disgusted]  You humanoids, you're all obsessed with these convoluted mating rituals.

  Garak : True, but do you think we'd waste so much time on something that wasn't worthwhile?

• [Odo suffers from density fluctuations] 

  Doctor Bashir : For all I know, this could be a normal biological process, the Changeling equivalent of puberty - or menopause.

  Odo : That's an interesting theory, Doctor - one I suggest that you keep to yourself.

• Doctor Bashir : Physiologically, you're completely Human.

  Odo : Except for my face.

  Doctor Bashir : Yes, I was wondering about that - why they left it unchanged.

  Odo : They left it this way on purpose, to make sure I'd never forget what I was. And... what I've lost.

• Odo : When I joined with the other Changelings in the Great Link I... felt something I never felt before. In that moment, I knew I was home. For the first time I felt that I understood my people - their distrust of the Solids, their... willingness to do anything to protect themselves. And then, in an instant, it was all snatched away. I'm trapped inside this body. I can never rejoin the Great Link. My job is the only thing I have left.

• Quark : I hear you're taking a little trip to the Gamma Quadrant.

  Odo : Care to come along?

  Quark : Are you kidding? I expect to own this station by the time you get back.

• Odo : The only ones who can help me now... are the Founders.
