- "Commander, laws change depending on who's making them. Cardassian one day, Federation the next. But justice is justice."
- - Odo (DS9: "A Man Alone")
- "Nobody ever had to teach me the justice trick. That's something I've always known. A racial memory from my species, I guess. It's really the only clue I have to what kind of people they are. Are these kinds of thoughts appropriate for a Starfleet log? I don't care. There's no room in justice for loyalty or friendship or love. Justice, as the Humans like to say, is blind. I used to believe that. I'm not sure I can anymore."
- - Odo ("Necessary Evil")
