“All your life you wait, and then it finally comes, and are you ready?”

“It's like this - you are in front of your canvas, you hand holds the paint, ready, raised. The canvas waits, waits, empty and white - but all the time it knows what it wants. So - what does it want, anyway? My hand comes near, my eyes begin to transform the waiting canvas; and when - with my hands holding the paint and my eyes seeing the forms - I touch the canvas, it trembles, it comes to life.”

“You are ready to give your life for your honour … Be ready to give up your honour for your soul.”

“This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don't wait.”

“Everything happens all the time, but you must be ready for it. Readiness is ripeness. You do not see the real because your mind is not ready for it.”

“The trials of life will not wait for us. They come at their own time, not caring much to inquire how ready we may be to meet them.”

“A woman who’s lived in a cage all her life. And hates it. Bored in there, aren’t you. Waiting for life to happen. And when it finally does, it steals from you what you loved most. So take back. Explode. Lash out. Blow up”

“If you are not long, I will wait for you all my life.”

“So long as you are ready to die for Humanity, the life of your country is immortal.”

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
