Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
We blind ourselves to the truth, because we are weak, because we hope. But there is no hope for love. Love ends in betrayal.
You are giving them hope. You shouldn’t do that. That’s cruel![to Oskar]
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night.
Hope is a mistake. If you can’t fix what’s broken, you’ll go insane.
Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear.
You never know. You hope for the best, then make do with what you get.
We will do what we have always done, Jim. We will find hope in the impossible.
I dream of a world where hope replaces fear. A world where a murdered man can stand in court to face his murderer. Where a crippled soldier, shrapnel in his spine can be killed, healed, then brought back to life to walk again.
I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.
