Quotes 

• Rafin : If I didn't have the coward's trembles, I would have walked with you in the trunks, and it would be me and not he who went to the Way After.

  Chakotay : You weren't the one who pulled the trigger, Rafin, and there's no shame in being afraid of fighting. Having the trembles is natural.

  Rafin : How do you fathom that?

  Chakotay : Because I've been in battle before, fighting to free my people from a nemesis called the Cardassians.

  Rafin : These Cardassians... were they beasts?

  Chakotay : Let's just say they weren't very friendly. The point is: even though I believed in what we were doing, I always felt fear before a fight.

  Rafin : But you wrestled your trembles to rages, didn't you?

• Namon : How many beasts will you send to the Way After, Rafin?

  Rafin : I... I couldn't say.

  Namon : Me, I'll nullify one for each brother and cousin that I've lost, and then one more after. True or not, my allies?

  Vori Defenders : True!

  Namon : So I ask you again, Rafin: how many will you nullify?

  Rafin : As... as many as I'm able.

  Namon : You've got the trembles. If you don't wrestle your trembles to rages, ally, the nemesis'll nullify *you*.

• Rafin : I was told to drill you, Chakotay, but it's you who've drilled me - drilled me to fathom the rages.

• Rafin : It is one matter to fire at clay marks, but much another to nullify the nemesis. That's what Namon told, and he told the truth before he went to the Gloried Way After.
