“Anger is really disappointed hope.”
“there was no anger in his voice,no disappointment even.”
“If your hope disappoints you, it is the wrong kind of hope. You see, hope in God never disappoints, precisely because it is hope *in God.* This means that hope placed in any other thing will always end up disappointing.”
“We are rational creatures, Professor Jove explained; hope is irrational. We thus set ourselves up for one dispiriting fall after the next. Anger and depression are not diseases or dysfunctions or anomalies; they are perfectly rational responses to the myriad avoidable disappointments that begin in a thoroughly irrational hope.”
“endless hope, endless disappointment.”
“Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.”
