Gustave Flaubert
“I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.”
Gustave Flaubert, Flaubert in Egypt

Graham Greene
“Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.”
Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory

James Hillman
“To hope for nothing, to expect nothing, to demand nothing. This is analytical despair.”
James Hillman, Suicide and the Soul

Branwell Brontë
“In the next world I could not be worse than I am in this.”
Branwell Bronte

Evelyn Waugh
“There's only one great evil in the world today. Despair.”
Evelyn Waugh, Vile Bodies
