About This Quote

When Terry Pratchett said, “If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life," he was speaking about the power of hope. More specifically, the power to believe that we can make a difference. The important thing is not to let yourself be defeated by cynicism, but to get up every day and keep doing something. You may have fallen down before, but you're not done yet.
