“Hope is a start. But hope needs action to win victories”
“It's not my victory, it's yours and yours and yours. If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We've given them hope.”
“I start to think that I'm losing the love I have without having yet won the love I hope to win.”
“Novels ought to have hope; at least, American novels ought to have hope. French novels don't need to. We mostly win wars, they lose them. Of course, they did hide more Jews than many other countries, and this is a form of winning.”
“Find a victory in every defeat to remain hopeful and find a defeat in every victory to remain humble.”
“If you’re the only person left, as long as your hope is committed in action, then hope is alive in the world.”
