“On top of the world, or in the depths of despair.”

“I'm in the depths of despair!" (Anne of Green Gables)”

“Even in the depths of despair, a person can soar to heights of greatness.”

“You're not eating anything," said Marilla sharply, eying her as if it were a serious shortcoming. Anne sighed. I can't. I'm in the depths of despair. Can you eat whenyou are in the depths of despair?"I've never been in the depths of despair, so I can't say," responded Marilla. Weren't you? Well, did you ever try to IMAGINE you were inthe depths of despair?"No, I didn't."Then I don't think you can understand what it's like. It's very uncomfortable a feeling indeed.”

“When we have reached the depths of despair, only then can we look up and see the light of hope.”

“The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.”
