Philosophy on hope

“If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”

“Philosophy seems to me on the whole a rather hopeless business.”

“How can I, who was not able to retain my own past, hope to save that of another?”

“But genius looks forward: the eyes of men are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates.”

“For Appetite with an opinion of attaining, is called HOPE.”

“Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.”
