“In all things it's better to hope than to despair”

“Hope is a terrible thing, she said. Is it? Yes, it keep you living in another place, a place which doesn't exist. For some people it's better than where they are. For many it's a relief. From life, she said. A relief from life? Is that living? Some people don't have a choice. No and that's awful for them. Hope is better than misery, he said. Or despair. Hope belongs in the same box as despair. Hope is not so bad, he said. At least despair has truth to it. ”

“‎It is better to pursue a hopeless hope than to give in to black despair.”

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than feel. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we'll change the world.”

“It's better to hope than mope!”

“know that without night there is no day; without lies, no truth;without despair,no hope. Beware above all of hate, but call to its opposite too. For all things have an opposite and, if you choose it, with will and care, you may turn one thing into its reflection.”
