Hope,. . which whispered from Pandora's box after all the other plagues and sorrows had escaped, is the best and last of all things. Without it, there is only time. And time pushes at our backs like a centrifuge, forcing outward and away, until it nudges us into oblivion.. It's a law of motion, a fact of physics.., no different from the stages of white dwarves and red giants. Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yardstick of our separation. If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is a science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years. Ian Caldwell
About This Quote

Nell Einstein said hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man. Not having hope is better than having it, but wasting it in idle dreaming is worse than never having had it at all.
