“Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.”

“Hardy recognized what it was that she made him feel. Hope. Miracle gave him hope.”

“Hope is magic. Hope is a gift. Hope is a raft we cling to in the midst of a storm. Hope by nature is an independent of logic. Hope is power outside of the facts.The human mind longs for something better. Hope is not rational. Yet who need rationality when God is on our side? The capacity of hope is the most significant fact in life.”

“Regret is her companion and the one who whispers to her often. She has even let hope die and that brings about despair.”

“She has been hanging on to the hope of him for so long that she doesn't realize there isn't anything left to hope for.”

“Who hears the wishes and goodbyes? The speaker does.... And you hope that what you say from the heart has power. Power to protect, power to reach the ears of the dead. A spoken thing or a whished-hard thing takes a shape within the heart, man. Takes shape. Becomes real.”
