“Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget that until the day when God shall design to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words - 'Wait and hope'.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.”

“Someone Like You

Do you think there is the possibility of you and I? In this lifetime, is that too much to hope for? There is something so delicate about this time, so fragile. And if nothing ever comes of it, at least I have known this feeling, this wonderful sense of optimism. It is something I can always keep close to me—to draw from in my darkest hour like a ray of unspent sunshine. No matter what happens next, I will always be glad to know there is someone like you in the world.”
― Lang Leav, The Universe of Us
