In the scheme of things utterly bad

“In the scheme of things utterly bad from the start the only unpardonable folly is that of hope.” 

Virginia Woolf

Nothing should be out of the reach of hope

“Nothing should be out of the reach of hope. Life is a hope.” 

Oscar Wilde

It gets dark sometimes

It gets dark sometimes but morning comes…keep hope alive.

To read

“To read, to think, to love, to hope, to pray – these are the things that make men happy.”

John Ruskin

Words are like nets

“Words are like nets – we hope they’ll cover what we mean, but we know they can’t possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder. Finding God is like that, too. If it’s happened to you, you know what it feels like. But try to describe it to someone else - & language only takes you so far.”

Jodi Picoult

Why live?

“We are no more than the feet of an interminable insect. Why walk when hope is dead? Why live?

Jean-Paul Sartre

And if you had my memories

“And if you had my memories you would not want to go there either, or talk about it, or even think about it. There. You can digest that if you like, & I hope it satisfies you.”

Daphne Du Maurier

Hold On Or Let Go

The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long. But it also doesn't make sense to hold on when there's actually nothing there!
