“A little hope, even hopeless hope, never hurt anybody.”

“All the absurdity and hope are the stimulants to create. You make art to find a little hole to go on. You go through the whole to find the world again, and the absurdity is that still, somehow it is the same... Hopelessness and hope are the same. It's a very thin line you don't see any more. I don't believe in that line between hopelessness and hope today.”

“Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything.”

“Euripedes. Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything.”

“‎It is better to pursue a hopeless hope than to give in to black despair.”

“A hopeful sinner is closer to the mercy of Allah than a hopeless worshipper.”

“I'm afraid to hope but I can't help it, and the idea of hoping in this most hopeless of all places makes me want to cry.”

“But the hoping, that's what really hurts.”

“Hopeless implies that at one time there was hope. And that's another word I don't understand. Hope only exists for people who have choices. [Zarek]”

“Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: "Leave behind all hope, you who enter here.”
