“Heart, we will forget him!
You and I, to-night!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me,
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you’re lagging,
I may remember him!”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Hope is a passion for the possible.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
