In the contradiction lies the hope.

---

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. — Anaïs Nin

---

Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

---

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

---

Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true.

---

To live without Hope is to Cease to live. — Fyodor Dostoyevsky

---

It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.

---

Do not keep silent when your own ideas and values are being attacked. If a dictatorship ever comes to this country, it will be by the fault of those who keep silent. We are still free enough to speak. Do we have time? No one can tell.

---

My only hope lies in my despair.

---

Lost are we, and are only so far punished, That without hope we live on in desire.
