Quote by NORMAN WIRZBA LIBERTY HYDE BAILEY

“Hope does not rest on the assumption that everything is going to work out or be okay in the end, nor is it based on the presumption that the outcome in any series of events is going to be thus and so. I agree with Berry, who says, 'Hope lives in the means, not the ends.' A hopeful life often moves in the dark because nobody has a clear grasp of how events will unfold or what effects any particular action will have. This is why hope is a humble posture.”

“I no longer thought about the fire under us and the endless cold above us, nor about how thin this crust is which divides the fiery porridge from outer space. I only felt that the night was dark and full of life, of snails and moths, of growing plants, and I knew that there were trout and frogs in the brook. Sometimes the frogs here croak all night long, in a great chorus. There are bats and owls, and deer roam the neighboring forests. The flowers have closed. From the hospital there was not a sound. All was silence. Then a great golden tone rose through the night, and it was followed by new tones. The nightingale had begun, and now filled the world with its abnormal voice.”
