“Pessimistic" is a word for "realistic" that optimists use to make themselves feel better (about their unrealisticness).”
― Claire

“I will be the first to admit that I am a pessimist by nature. It is, after all, the wisest way to be. We pessimists have everything to gain, whereas optimists have a fifty-fifty chance of being disappointed.”
― Tamar Myers, As the World Churns

“The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it he knows too little.”
― Mark Twain
