Quote by George Bernard Shaw

I can wait: waiting and patience mean nothing to the eternal. I gave the woman the greatest of gifts: curiosity. By that her seed has been saved from my wrath; for I also am curious; and I have waited always to see what they will do tomorrow.

I can wait: waiting and patience mean nothing to the eternal

Summary

This quote encapsulates the perspective of an eternal being who observes humanity. While the concept of waiting and patience holds no significance for this being, they believe that curiosity is the ultimate gift bestowed upon humans. Because of their own curiosity, they have decided to spare the woman's lineage from destruction and instead patiently wait to see how humanity progresses and evolves over time. The quote highlights the interplay between the eternal being's own curiosity and their willingness to patiently watch and wait for the outcomes of human actions.
