You cannot withstand he storm...

[Unconquerable]

Do you know the original context of this quote:

They whispered to her: You cannot wristband the storm.
She whispered back: I am the storm
?

Wristband! Makes me think of the storm being cross that its session has come to an end at the leisure centre!
No, I don’t know the quote. Is is Halle Berry in X-Men?

I have no idea. I stumbled about different versions of this quote and have no idea where it comes from.

I don't know the origin. I think its meant to mean be the force in your life that makes things happen rather than being a passive victim of other people? I like the general idea but too twee for me.

It sounds like something from a Brendan Sanderson novel

I think that is what it means but I would love to know the original context.

According to Google it seems to be a girl power version of the older one which was a warrior rather than a woman.

But basically Google doesn't know who came up with it.

The devil whispered "you cannot withstand the storm"
The warrior replied "I am the storm"

I think it is based on a Bible verse about standing up to the devil and wearing armour to defeat him.

Widely attributed to Ghengis Khan isn't it?

@HugeAckmansWife omg it does sound like Way of Kings. But it's not. Love hat book bough

Basically OP, nobody knows because it's origins are unknown. Sorry.

Try Dalai Lama.

Barbara Cartland? Ugh.

Don't know of the original context but your first post reminded me of Botticelli's famous painting.
