The kind of hope that I often think about…I understand above all as a state of mind, not a state of the world. Either we have hope within us, or we don’t.

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

'We will light up like lamps, and the world will never be the same again.'
Marianne Williamson
