You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.
While there’s life there’s hope!
When you have plenty of good strong hating you don’t need hope because the hating will be enough to nourish you.
To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.
Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
There can be no hope without fear, and no fear without hope.
Then you must teach my daughter this same lesson. How to lose your innocence but not your hope. How to laugh forever.
The word which God has written on the brow of every man is Hope.
The hope of spring is like the hope of heaven.
The fact is, it seems, that the most you can hope is to be a little less, in the end, the creature you were in the beginning, and the middle.
That was all a man needed: hope. It was lack of hope that discouraged a man.
