“From every joy and pain a hope leaps out eternally to escape this pain and to widen joy.”
Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of God
The Saviors of God (1923)
Context: From every joy and pain a hope leaps out eternally to escape this pain and to widen joy.
And again the ascent begins — which is pain — and joy is reborn and new hope springs up once more. The circle never closes. It is not a circle, but a spiral which ascends eternally, ever widening, enfolding and unfolding the triune struggle.
George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton (1709–1773) British politician

“And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man).”
Julie Gold (1956) American musician
From a Distance (1985)
Context: From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man). It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man.
