Raising Hope

Famous quotes containing the words raising and/or hope:

    “In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
