“Hoping for something is not the same as expecting it.”
“I'm beginning to think that to hope isn't the same as to expect something. To hope is to believe that life is an acceptable chaos.”
“At first, there is something you expect of life. Later, there is what life expects of you. By the time you realize these are the same, it can be too late for expectations. What we are being, not what we are to be. They are the same thing.”
“There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.”
“...the definition of crazy is doing something close to the same thing twice and expecting a different end.”
“Losing the possibility of something is the exact same thing as losing hope and without hope nothing can survive.”
