About This Quote
This quote is a literary allusion to the fact that you can't eat hope, but it does sustain you. Hope is often referred to as the "happy thought" because it is the feeling of peace and comfort that comes with knowing that something better is on the way. Hope is like food for your soul, and it sustains you. But, like any other food, there are some foods that are healthier than others.
While certain foods sustain life, they do not necessarily make you happy. To be happy, you need to know that there are things in life that will make you happy even if they change your current situation.
