Passion is the fire that can burn through fear.

Imagination belongs to hope. It’s the creative dance of possibility.

Hope dreams into being what is possible but not yet formed.

If I’m going to have hope, I’m going to have to learn to endure disappointment.

A wish is a single unit of hope. It’s a single request for something I dearly desire.

Hope requires waiting. Waiting requires patience.

Don't be afraid that things are changing, because indeed they always are.

Without hope, I wouldn’t even try. Hope lifts me to consider new possibilities so I can stay the course of my desire, no matter what.

We cannot protect ourselves from disappointment and still live a fully engaged life.

The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation.

I'm in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out.

Indulgent gods, grant me to sin once with impunity. That is sufficient. Let a second offence bear its punishment.

The mind is seldom quickened to very vigorous operations but by pain, or the dread of pain. We do not disturb ourselves with the detection of fallacies which do us no harm.
