Hope

"Connect with supportive people who empower you. The more you jump into your life, the further away from Ed you can get. Don’t have a backup plan for living. Live today. […] Trust in God. Believe in yourself. Get friends and family members to stand behind you. That’s the only backup you’ll need."

"When you have spent long years in the dark, there is joy in seeing the light and pleasure, above all, in the ordinary."

"Try never to abandon hope for if you do, hope will surely try to abandon you."

"Sometimes I struggle. Sometimes I falter. Sometimes I live in gray. But always I remember the yarrow you’ve grown in the spaces of my rib cage. I now love with roses from my heart, with lilacs from my mouth."

"Everything was so broken, but it would heal. Saxonia will heal. Hollownot will heal. Everything will heal. I was broken. I will heal. It is certainty that destroys the souls of men."

"Please remember, no matter how hard it seems and no matter how badly you feel you can always become courageous."

"If I stay close to the sea, I will go on well."

"There's always hope. And oceans. Hope and oceans."

"Hope – that silly, stupid creature that lived within me, no matter how often I tried to beat it to death – lifted its nose and sniffed at the air."

"Happiness comes from loving and giving"

"You attain happiness not by gaining, but by giving."

"Giving saves lives. Especially the giver’s."

"Nothing may stay the same but I guess one good thing that should remain still is the heart that always remembers to: stay strong and stay kind; stay lovely and stay nice; stay good and stay humble; stay true and stay honest. Just stay being the best of your heart could. But when that heart feels like giving up, give it a rest, pause for a while but never ever give up."

"Never lose hope; until your bones are rotten, never give up. Once the final whistle did not blow up, keep running hard!"

"No matter how difficult life gets, the important thing is to live it with hope."

"Camba had bent her long neck down to Ingar's level and was muttering in his ear. "Do you feel the breeze on your face" I heard her say. "That's yours, and worth feeling. Look at those orange clouds. All the trials of a day may be endured if you know there's such a sky at the end of it. Some days I told my heart to wait, just wait, because the sunset would teach me again that my pain was nothing compared with the eternal, circling sky."

"There is hope for the hopeless."

"Faith is a firm hope."

"Why, he wondered, was it so hard to see humankind as capable of creating miracles? Miracles were just second chances if you really thought about it-second chances when all hope was lost."
