Is it timing? Waiting?
Abstaining?
Obligation?
Longing?
Torture?
Perseverance?
Discipline?

Patience is a hard cock with bound hands.”

“Though I cannot entirely agree with you in supposing that extreme study has been the cause of my late indisposition, I must yet confess that the hill of science, like that of virtue, is in some instances climbed with labour. But when we get a little way up, the lovely prospects which open the eye make infinite amends for the steepness of the ascent. In short, I am wedded to these pursuits, as a man stipulates to take his wife; viz., for better, for worse, until death us do part. My thirst for knowledge is literally inextinguishable. And if I thus drink myself into a superior world, I cannot help it.”
― Augustus Toplady

― Sandra Cisnerossneros, The House on Mango Street

“Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last. You have to fight the people who say it can never be done. You have to fight the institutions that put up the glass ceilings that must be shattered. You have to fight your body when it tells you it is tired. You have to fight your mind when doubt begins to creep in. You have to fight systems that are put in place to disrupt you and obstacles that are put in place to discourage you. You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.”
― Ronda Rousey

“Beklemek, insanın hiçbir şey yapmıyormuş gibi görünürken çok şey yaptığı nadir bir hareket halidir. Hareket, tanımı itibariyle göz kırpmak dahil gözlemlenebilen her şeyi anlatırken, beklemek, bana kalırsa, harekettir.. Gözlemlenemeyen ama fevkalade çaba gerektirebilen bir hareket. Düşündüğünüz, olmasını istediğiniz bir durumun zamanının gelmesi için ödüle, hazza ulaşmayı ertelediğiniz, dikkat, duygu ve dürtü kontrolü becerilerinizi kullandığınız bir hareket. Bunu yapabilmek, yapmak için uğraşmak ve uğraşmaya devam etmek önemli. Bazen yapılacak iş, işi yapmaya devam etmektir. Bu da sabır gerektirir.”
― Ayşe Bilge Selçuk, İnsan Her Koşulda

“Unfortunately, life does not come with a handbook or even a search engine to help us find all the answers. We must be true scientists from day one, experimenting, drawing conclusions, and reevaluating previous concepts. We can never be certain that we did any of it correctly, but at least we have tried.”
― Runa Pigden
