"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope, For hope would be hope for the wrong thing." ― T. S. Eliot Topic(s): Hope More From T. S. Eliot "As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug’s game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing." "I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics." "Home is where one starts from." More In Hope "As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work."― Katharine Hepburn "Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You’re never as good as you’d like to be. So there’s always something to hope for."― Washington Irving "I hope telling stories though ‘Making a Difference’ – as in my academic work and nonprofit work – will help me to live my grandmother’s adage of ‘Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.’"― Chelsea Clinton
