Quotes: Living in Hope

—Barbara Kingsolver

If, every day, I dare to remember that I am here on loan, that this house, this hillside, these minutes are all leased to me, not given, I will never despair.
—Erica Jong

How things look on the outside of us depends on how things are on the inside of us.
—Park Cousins

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
—Victor Hugo

What he said.

But my initial response is also to ask, "What does that look like?" Heh heh heh. I look at my screen saver about holding unswervingly to hope, and wonder what it looks like to do as Kingsolver said--how do I make hope my dwelling place?

I am glad these are your thoughts for the day. I love to hear hope in your voice...
