Kasidy: I know that Vic’s isn’t a totally accurate representation of the way things were -and it isn’t meant to be. It shows us the way things could have been. The way they should have been.
Ben: We cannot ignore the truth about the past.
Kasidy: Going to Vic’s isn’t going to make us forget who we are or where we came from. What it does is reminds us that we are no longer bound by any limitations except the ones we impose on ourselves.Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Badda-Bing, Badda Bang (24.02.1999)

Benny Russell Talks Truth About Racism in 1950′s America in Far Beyond The Stars (2/2)
Original Dialogue:
BENNY: You’re firing me?
PABST: I have no choice, Benny. It’s his decision.
BENNY: Well, you can’t fire me. I quit. To hell with you, and to hell with Stone.
JULIUS: Try to stay calm, Benny.
BENNY: No. I’m tired of being calm. Calm never gotten me a damn thing.
PABST: I’m warning you, Benny. If you don’t stop this I’m going to call the police.
BENNY: You go ahead! Call them! Call anybody you want. They can’t do anything to me. Not anymore. And nor can any of you. I am a human being, damn it. You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists! That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here. In my mind, I created it. And every one of you know it. You read it. It’s here. You hear what I’m telling you? You can pulp a story but you cannot destroy an idea. Don’t you understand? That’s ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea. That future, I created it, and it’s real. Don’t you understand? It is real! I created it and it’s real! It’s real! Oh, God.
