Hope is, uh...Bill Clinton's hometown?
Henry Miller sez: “Hope is a bad thing. It means that you are not what you want to be. It means that part of you is dead, if not all of you. It means that you entertain illusions. It’s a sort of spiritual clap, I should say ... Somehow, the realization that nothing was to be hoped for had a salutary effect upon me. For months, for years, in fact, all my life, I had been looking forward to something happening, some extrinsic event that would alter my life, and now suddenly, inspired by the absolute hopelessness of everything, I felt as though a great burden had been lifted from my shoulders”
