I know too well how dangerous hope can be, how it grows and sometimes dies, taking its host with it. It's more powerful than anything Dr.Fibs keeps in his labs, more precious than all the secrets inside Sublevel Two.

About This Quote

The phrase "I know too well how dangerous hope can be" is an example of irony. The narrator knows the danger of hope, yet he still has hope. Hope takes you to places that you cannot go without it. It is the most powerful thing in the world and it always comes back to you. Hope can make you do amazing things like resist torture or break out of prison.
