“What we've learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback.”
Michelle Obama
(1964) lawyer, writer, wife of Barack Obama and former First Lady of the United States
Campaign rally, Madison, Wisconsin, CSPAN: Campaign 2008 (18 February 2008)

Context: What we've learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something — for the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I've seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it's made me proud.

Gilbert O'Sullivan
(1946) Irish singer-songwriter
I've been taken for far more rides
to places I've never been,
stabbed so many times in the back
I no longer feel a thing.
Oh, ask me what all this has taught me
and I'll tell you what I'll say:
"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away.
Save it for a rainy day."
"Hold On To What You Got" (song)

Cat Stevens
(1948) British singer-songwriter

Context: It seems as if I am making a comeback but I have never really been away. It’s very strange because the whole attitude changes and everything is turned inside out. Now I am seeing the shiny side again. <!--
It has made all the difference to me because I had to have that break.
