Famous quotes containing the word hoping:
“We hold on to hopes for next year every year in western Dakota: hoping that droughts will end; hoping that our crops won’t be hailed out in the few rainstorms that come; hoping that it won’t be too windy on the day we harvest, blowing away five bushels an acre; hoping ... that if we get a fair crop, we’ll be able to get a fair price for it. Sometimes survival is the only blessing that the terrifying angel of the Plains bestows.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
“I remember her on the screen, huge as a colossus doll, mincing and whispering and simply hoping her way into total vulnerability.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“People stay
Next to the edges of fields, hoping that out of nothing
Something will come, and it does, but what?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
