Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope. Vincent Van Gogh
About This Quote

This quote is from George Bernard Shaw. He says that people are often too pessimistic in their thoughts when it comes to things in life. Many are quick to judge that the world is hopeless when in fact, there are good things that can be done that will change the world for better. It may not seem like it, but there are many people who want to do something in order to bring about change in the world.

The problem is, they do not know how to help or they don’t know who to help. If only one person were willing to change this world for the better, then what could happen? The world could change for the better.
