Hopefully Quotes (page 79)

The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies? socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor? and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food. John Pilger
But there must be some hope that we can rise to a higher level ... that consciousness can evolve to a plane more benevolent than its counterpoint of a universe hardwired to indifference. Dan Simmons
In almost every professional field, in business and in the arts and sciences, women are still treated as second-class citizens. It would be a great service to tell girls who plan to work in society to expect this subtle, uncomfortable discrimination--tell them not to be quiet, and hope it will go away, but fight it. A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex, but neither should she "adjust" to prejudice and discrimination Betty Friedan
We Americans have many grave problems to solve, many threatening evils to fight, and many deeds to do, if, as we hope and believe, we have the wisdom, the strength, and the courage and the virtue to do them. But we must face facts as they are. We must neither surrender ourselves to a foolish optimism, nor succumb to a timid and ignoble pessimism. Theodore Roosevelt
Kate Chopin quote: "There was no despondency when she fell asleep that night; nor..."
There was no despondency when she fell asleep that night; nor was there hope when she awoke in the morning. Kate Chopin
It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one. George Harrison
Cory Doctorow quote: "Where there's life, there's hope. Living people can change..."
Where there's life, there's hope. Living people can change things, dead people cannot. Cory Doctorow
I believe that we are lost here in America, but I believe we shall be found. And this belief, which mounts now to the catharsis of knowledge and conviction, is for me--and I think for all of us--not only our own hope, but America's everlasting, living dream. Thomas Wolfe
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that..."
Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand-—that and such hope as I bring. J. R. R. Tolkien
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd. Richard P. Feynman
C. S. Lewis quote: "We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there..."
We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it. C. S. Lewis
I hope it is not necessary for me to stress the platonic nature of our relationship- not platonic in the purest sense, there was no philosophical discourse, but we certainly didn't fuck, which is usually what people mean by platonic; which I bet would really piss Plato off, that for all his thinking and chatting his name has become an adjective for describing sexless trysts. Russell Brand
Even at that time the hope of leaving behind messages in bottles on the flood of barbarism bursting on Europe was an amiable illusion: the desperate letters stuck in the mud of the spirit of rejuvenesence and were worked up by a band of Noble Human-Beings and other riff-raff into highly artistic but inexpensive wall-adornments. Only since then has progress in communications really got into its stride. Who, in the end, is to take it amiss if even the freest of free spirits no longer write for... Theodor Adorno
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you. Stephen King
Roseanne Barr quote: "To expect life to treat you good is foolish as hoping a bull..."
To expect life to treat you good is foolish as hoping a bull won't hit you because you are a vegetarian. Roseanne Barr
