Quote
The Ancient One:
I've spent so many years peering through time, looking at this exact moment. But I can't see past it. I've prevented countless terrible futures and after each one there's always another, and they all lead here but never further.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
You think this is where you die.
The Ancient One:
You wonder what I see in your future?
Dr. Stephen Strange:
No. Yes.
The Ancient One:
I never saw your future, only its possibilities. You have such a capacity for goodness. You've always excelled, but not because you crave success but because of your fear of failure.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
It's what made me a great doctor.
The Ancient One:
It's precisely what's kept you from greatness. Arrogance and fear still keep you from learning the simplest and most significant lesson of all.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
Which is?
The Ancient One:
It's not about you! When you first came to me, you asked me how I was able to heal Jonathan Pangborn. I didn't. He channels dimensional energy directly into his own body.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
He uses magic to walk.
The Ancient One:
Constantly. He had a choice, to return to his own life or to serve something greater than himself.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
So I could have my hands back again. My old life?
The Ancient One:
You could and the world would be all the lesser for it. I hated drawing power from the dark dimension but as you well know, sometimes one must break the rules in order to serve the greater good.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
Mordo won't see it that way.
The Ancient One:
Mordo's soul is rigid and unmovable, forged by the fires of his youth. He needs your flexibility, just as you need his strength. Only together do you stand a chance of stopping Dormammu.
Dr. Stephen Strange:
I'm not ready.
The Ancient One:
No one ever is. We don't get to choose our time. Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered, your time is short. You'd think after all this time I'd be ready, but look at me. Stretching one moment out into a thousand just so I can watch the snow.
