Jess’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities
Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities by Rebecca Solnit
1 highlight
To hope is to gamble. It’s to bet on the future, on your desires, on the possibility that an open heart and uncertainty is better than gloom and safety. To hope is dangerous, and yet it is the opposite of fear, for to live is to risk.
