Hope is like constancy, the country, or solitude—all of which owe their reputation to the pretty things that have been said about them. Hope is but the poetical name for that feverish restlessness which hurries over to-day for the sake of to-morrow. Who among us pauses upon the actual moment, to own, "Now, even now, am I happy?" The wisest of men has said, that hope deferred is sickness to the heart: yet what hope have we that is not deferred? For my part, I believe that there are two spirits who preside over this feeling, and that hope, like love, has its Eros and Anteros. Its Eros, that reposes on fancy, and creates rather than calculates; while its Anteros lives on expectation, and is dissatisfied with all that Is, in vague longings for what may be.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Letitia_Elizabeth_Landon" title="Letitia Elizabeth Landon">Letitia Elizabeth Landon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Romance_and_Reality" title="Romance and Reality">Romance and Reality</a>, Volume 3, Footnote to chapter 18 (1831).</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Radical hope anticipates a good for which those who have the hope as yet lack the appropriate concepts with which to understand it. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Lear" title="Jonathan Lear">Jonathan Lear</a>, <i>Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation</i> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University_Press" class="extiw" title="w:Harvard University Press">Harvard University Press</a>: 2008), p. 103</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>One's thoughts turn towards Hope. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci" title="Leonardo da Vinci">Leonardo da Vinci</a>, <i>The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci</i> (1938), <i>X Studies and Sketches for Pictures and Decorations</i>, as translated by Edward MacCurdy; by the side of this passage is a sketch of a cage with a bird sitting in it.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>If you've lost your faith in love and music, the end won't be long <ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Libertines" class="extiw" title="w:The Libertines">The Libertines</a>, "The Good Old Days", <i>Babyshambles Sessions</i> (2003)</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>One only hope my heart can cheer,— <br /> The hope to meet again. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/George_Linley" title="George Linley">George Linley</a>, <i>Song</i>, as reported in <i>Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations</i> (1922), p. 375-78</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Races, better than we, have leaned on her wavering promise, <br /> Having naught else but Hope. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Henry_Wadsworth_Longfellow" title="Henry Wadsworth Longfellow">Henry Wadsworth Longfellow</a>, <i>The Children of the Lord's Supper</i>, line 230</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>The setting of a great hope is like the setting of the sun.

It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacriﬁce, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magniﬁcently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an inﬁnite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in deﬁance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory. <ul><li><a
