Hope

America is not slick and Steve McQueen or the World Series, it's chapel windows with the sun coming through, the Mexican pea-blue glimmering in the concrete half-light. It is the way things should be.

Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.

Though outwardly a gloomy shroud, the inner half of me is composed of light.

In my dreams, I run like a gazelle.

Hope and fear are inseparable. There is no fear without hope, nor any hope without fear.

In the world of words, we find solace for the soul and refuge for the heart.

Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

One day the sun will shine... and things will be good.

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.

No matter where you are from, your dreams are valid.

Don't be afraid to dream big; it's possible.

Your current situation is not your final destination.

Every setback is a setup for a comeback.

It's not about the setback, it's about the get-back.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.

Hope is for the soul what breathing is for living bodies.

To believe that what exists is more powerful and important than what does not is the opus of despair.

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
