I remember a line from Quark when he had enough of the holier-than-thou humans bad mouthing his race. It something to do with genocide and Hitler but I forget the words to even paraphrase.

Quark: I think I figured out why humans don't like Ferengi —

Sisko: Not now, Quark.

Quark: The way I see it, humans used to be a lot like Ferengi: greedy, acquisitive, interested only in profit. We're a constant reminder of a part of your past you'd like to forget.

Sisko: Quark, we don't have time for this.

Quark: You're overlooking something, Commander. Humans used to be a lot worse than Ferengi. Slavery, concentration camps, interstellar war; we have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We're nothing like you. We're better.

**I remember a line from Quark ***

The TV show QUARK? about a space garbage collector? I miss Betty I and Betty II! They could take out my garbage anytime!

"Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes."
