“Don't predict disappointment while hope is an option”
“I was investing more and more of myself into an outcome I couldn’t predict and would very likely be disappointed by. But for me there was no other option.”
“I don't like ferocious irony but rather the kind that vacillates between disappointment and hope. Okay?”
“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.”
“Expect nothing and you don't need the courage to hope, nor the strength to withstand disappointment when nothing comes.”
“If we don't go mad once in a while, there's no hope.”
