"I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven." ― Emily Dickinson Topic(s): Hope More From Emily Dickinson "If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry." "How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!" "The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." More In Hope "That’s the way both they and I travel sometimes. Pick road at random, and when it’s time to pull over, you pull over and hope you can find a place to crash."― Jello Biafra "The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail."― Jonathan Kozol "Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn’t come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will."― Josh Hartnett
