“It was necessary for him to have hope. So he built hope, desperately and tenaciously out of the stuff of his dream, a hope flimsy enough, to be sure, a hope that was cracked and dissipated a dozen times a day, a hope mothered by mockery, but, nevertheless, a hope that would be brawn and sinew to his self-respect.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.”
