Famous Quotes & Sayings

Friedrich Nietzsche

What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope.

Erich Fromm

There are many who feel consciously hopeful and unconsciously hopeless, and there are few for whom it is the other way around.

Erich Fromm

To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.

George Eliot

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.

George Eliot

It is hope that gives life meaning. And hope is based on the prospect of being able one day to turn the actual world into a possible one that looks better.

Chris Hardwick

I really don't have time "to Twitter," it's not something that should grab your day. That's a big misconception, actually, about the whole service.

Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti

Hope dead lives nevermore, No, not in heaven.

Christina Rossetti

For I am bound with fleshly bands, Joy, beauty, lie beyond my scope; I strain my heart, I stretch my hands, And catch at hope.

Hope is the best part of our riches. What sufficeth it that we have the wealth of the Indies in our pockets, if we have not the hope of heaven in our souls?

It's the children the world almost breaks who grow up to save it.

Fernando Pessoa

The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.

Fay Weldon

by and large, nothing is as bad as you fear, or as good as you hope.

Fatos Nano

Euripides
