Nikolai: “If only I could find the answers to my three questions, then I would always know what to do: When is the best time to do
things? Who is the most important one? Who is the right thing to do?
Leo the Turtle: “Remember then that there is only one important time, and that time is now. The most important one is always the one you are with. And the most important thing is to do good for the one who is standing at your side. For these, my dear boy, are the answers to what is most important in this world. This is why we are here.”
