Hope

"So She had to satisfy herself with the idea of love-loving the loving of things whose existence she didn't care at all about. Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for."

"You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope."

"I say good-bye to hope, but I also say good-bye to hope's disappointment."

"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."

"Carry your wings of hope so high in the sky that there is no room left for disappointments."

"Hope meets a dead end when the only chance in sight comes to naught."

"She was broken from moment to moment, watching her world collide she felt lost inside herself. She fell apart for a passion that flamed beneath her. She waited and died a hundred times, it dripped from her pores. The moment she let go, she soared over the stillness like the star she was born to be."

"To be human is to be broken and broken is its own kind of beautiful."

"I had to learn to live without you and I couldn't make sense of it, because I left so much of me inside of you."

"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."

"The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination."

"One lives in the hope of becoming a memory."

"We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken."

"I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death."

"Shoot for the moon, even if you fail, you'll land among the stars"

"Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

"When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me."

"Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities."

"Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper."
