"The reason I never give up hope is because everything is so basically hopeless." ― Anne Lamott Topic(s): Hope Tags: never, reason More From Anne Lamott "When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens." "You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." "My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way." More In Hope "Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it’ when things are tough."― Richard M. DeVos "The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game, or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most."― Curt Schilling "I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be."― Thomas Jefferson
