Sometimes hope is like wearing someone else’s coat. You know it can shield and protect you, just as it did them, but it still doesn’t feel right. You’re just not used to it.

About This Quote

At times, it may be hard to understand what hope is. Hope is not a physical object you can hold in your hand. It isn't something you can touch or feel. Hope is a feeling that's inside of you.

You can have hope without hope being an object that you have. People who have hope have hope inside of them, but they cannot see them as objects. Hope is a special kind of emotion that makes a person feel good and gives a person the ability to overcome the obstacles put before them.

The word "hope" comes from the Old English word "hop" meaning to raise something high up from the ground. Notice how the word "hop" has been changed to "hope." In this sense, hope represents the ability to raise yourself up from disappointment and defeat and let yourself rise again.
