“Hope & curiosity about the future seemed better than guarantees. The unknown was always so attractive to me...and still is.”

“Dnt Think About Past , THat It Was Better Than Present ,Always Think About Future, to Make It Better Than Past ....”

“Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it’s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there’s no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there’s a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours.”

“Maybe that was the thing about beginnings - they always seemed better than middles or endings. And if only I ever had beginnings and my past was so perfect, then the future would never measure up. I didn't want to live like that.”

“The past always seems better when you look back on it than it did at the time. And the present never looks as good as it will in the future.”

“Still, with a plan, you only get the best you can imagine. I'd always hoped for something better than that.”
