“When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty.”

“When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.”

“When you have lost hope, you lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.”

“When all hopes are lost, only then does reality acquire that sharp focus that defines who we are and what we have become.”

“So to be sick unto death is not to be able to die -- yet not as though there were hope of life; no, the hopelessness in this case is that even the last hope, death, is not available. When death is the greatest danger, one hopes for life; but when one becomes acquainted with an even more dreadful danger, one hopes for death. So when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die.”

“No. Don't give up hope just yet. It's the last thing to go. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.”
