Stephen King on hope

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them⁠—words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out.

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them that I have the heart of a small boy…and I keep it in a jar on my desk.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

Napoleon1769–1821In His Own Words (1916)

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
