About This Quote
Hope is a flicker, a candle flame kept burning by the simple act of breathing. Hope is a candle that can be blown out at any moment. It can be extinguished any time someone tries to extinguish it. However, hope lives on, and that’s what sets it a part from a simple candle flame.
The hope that’s present in a person doesn’t have the same level of consistency as a candle flame has. A candle flame can be extinguished but hope is never extinguished. Hope will continue to live on throughout the years, even though people may try to extinguish it at every chance they get.
