“When we are consumed with that thing we are waiting for, it's become an idol. As daughters of Christ and as ministry leaders, there's no place for idols in our hearts. God is pretty clear on that... God wants all of us focused on Him, not on what we are waiting for, whether it's a child, a ministry opportunity, or an escape. These are all good, but not if they take God off the throne of our lives. Not if they steal our hearts.”

“You're sitting in the harbour waiting! The ship you were waiting for did not come, the boat you expected did not come, the things you expected did not come and you are still in the harbour, you are still waiting! Don't you understand, the whole problem is waiting! The universe doesn't want you to wait, the universe is waiting for action from you, so don't wait, go somewhere else because waiting rots you!”

“How apart she felt, how apart she had felt for years, and she wished it was a feeling she could get used to. But it wasn’t. One by one, everyone else her age had married and had children, yet for her, the years of her twenties had slipped away, waving at her like hands from a leaving train. As they all moved on, she was left standing on the platform, absolutely alone, surrounded only by the smoke that stung her eyes and throat. It was no different now.”

“There’s no point in waiting for Godot. He never arrives. That’s the whole point. In Dante’s Limbo, the Ignavi are always waiting. Their crime in life was that they preferred to wait until everything was decided rather than commit themselves to a cause when its prospects were uncertain, and now they are condemned to wait forever in the vestibule of hell. Anyone can jump on a bandwagon. The heroes are those who got involved long before the bandwagon arrived. You have to find a cause and commit yourself fully. That’s the first step in giving meaning to your life”
