Quotes 

• Ophelia : Catwomen are not contained by the rules of society. You follow your own desires. This is both a blessing and a curse. You will often be alone and misunderstood, but you will experience a freedom other women will never know. You are a Catwoman. Every sight, every smell, every sound, incredibly heightened. Fierce independence, total confidence, inhuman reflexes.

  Patience Philips : So I'm not Patience anymore?

  Ophelia : You are Patience. And you are Catwoman. Accept it, child. You've spent a lifetime caged. By accepting who you are - all of who you are... you can be free. And freedom is power.

• Ophelia : Midnight.

  Patience Philips : I'm sorry.

  Ophelia : Her name.

  [Talking about her cat] 

  Ophelia : She's an Egyptian Mau, the rarest of breeds. Temple cats. It's said that Maus have special powers.

  Patience Philips : Like popping out of nowhere? I know.

  Ophelia : Among other things.

• Ophelia : You died, but you were reborn. Midnight knew your fate, that's why she tested you, to see if you were worthy of a gift she could give you, a gift that could change your life, and give you a new one. You are not alone child, she saved others before you, look.

• Ophelia : Bastet is a rarity. The Goddess of the moon and of the sun. She represents the duality in all women, docile yet aggressive, nurturing yet ferocious.
