Angie Martinez Quotes

I think in defeat you grope for things that are happy, and it's hard.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult, at best, and all but unlivable at worst, or possibly even unlivable, do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility, then it's a lie.

Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.
