Honoré de Balzac
“Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.”
Honoré de Balzac

John Green
“The pleasure isn't in doing the thing, the pleasure is in planning it.”
John Green, Paper Towns

Jane Austen
“..that sanguine expectation of happiness which is happiness itself”
Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“...anticipation of happiness can sometimes be as gratifying as its consummation.”
Gaynor Arnold, Girl in a Blue Dress

Steven L. Peck
“The days passed in a dream. I pictured our reunion again and again, played it out in my mind over and over until I’d almost worn a groove in my thoughts, so deep that it seemed the only thing I could think of was our reunion. Anticipation is a gift. Perhaps there is none greater. Anticipation is born of hope. Indeed it is hope’s finest expression. In hope’s loss, however, is the greatest despair.”
Steven L. Peck, A Short Stay in Hell
