Becca Fitzpatrick Quotes

Present, n. That part of eternity dividing the domain of disappointment from the realm of hope.

I remember getting notified that I won an award, and I gloated up a storm to my mother, and I was so obnoxious about it, but I said to her, 'Momma, I'm going to enjoy every moment of this because tomorrow, something bad is going to happen.'

He took her hand and they started walking toward the baggage claim. They didn't say anything to each other. They swung their held hands like little kids, like they believed anything could happen, like they might take off soaring into the air. All the things you wanted to happen could happen. Why not?

For the majority of us, the past is a regret, the future an experiment

I wake expectant, hoping to see a new thing.

I remember going, "I'm really excited about this - I really want it to happen. It would be a wonderful opportunity." But if something doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. My mother and father sort of raised me to look at things that way.

Hope is desire and expectation rolled into one.

I've never counted my chickens before they've hatched.

Hope is man's preparation for the unknown.

We will cease to be angry once we cease to be so hopeful.

It's hard to tell our good luck sometimes. Hard to tell sometimes for many years to come. And most of us have wept copious tears over someone or something, when if we'd understood the situation better, we might have celebrated our good fortune insteadOne can never change the past, only the hold it has on you and while nothing in your life is reversible, you can reverse it nevertheless.

One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected.

I walk ahead of myself in perpetual expectancy of miracles.

Custom looks to things that are past, and fashion to things that are present, but both of them are somewhat purblind as to things that are to come.

Never sell tomorrow short. There's plenty to get excited about. Be filled with expectation, hope and confidence. Believe something good is going to happen - and it usually will.

The present time is seldom able to fill desire or imagination with immediate enjoyment, and we are forced to supply its deficiencies by recollection or anticipation.

Everyone could face something that hurts him. But I don't expect that I will be hurt

It was not perfect but I'm very happy. It could have been better, but I'm now looking forward to my second race of the season.

The past is made out of facts...I guess the future is just hope.

Tomorrow--there's no day so fair, It knows no sorrow; A day that banishes despair, Joy rules tomorrow.
