Wanadi Quotes in The Emerald Forest (1985)

Bill Markham: Why did you take my son?

Wanadi: One day, i was hunting at the Edge of The World when Tomme appeared and he smiled; and even though you were a Termite Child, I had not the heart to send you back to The Dead World.

Tomme: Why are they called The Termite People?

Wanadi: They come into The World and chew down all the grandfather trees. Just like termites.

Wanadi: If I tell a man to do what he does not want to do, I am no longer chief.

Wanadi: When a dream becomes flesh, trouble is not far behind.

Wanadi: When I was a boy, the edges of the world was very far away, but it comes closer each year.
