Like “love, ” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.

About This Quote

It is a cliché to say that love and hope are concepts which are "tragically disproportional." In reality, there is no such thing as hope. It's a fantasy, a wish, a notion of what should be the case. Hope is always something that will not happen. Love can indeed be proportional.

It can be too much, but it can also be a lot less. What we really want in life is to be comfortable and happy with who we are right now. We want to see the world around us improve rather than degrade, but we also want to live in a world where we can keep going and going and going without ever getting sick or dying.
