Quotes on Without Hope

There is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.

Lost are we, and are only so far punished, That without hope we live on in desire.

With knowledge there is no hope,... without hope I would sit motionless, rusting like unused armor.

To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.

Let the months and years come, they can take nothing from me, they can take nothing more. I am so alone, and so without hope that I can confront them without fear. The life that has borne me through these years is still in my hands and my eyes. Whether I have subdued it, I know not. But so long as it is there it will seek its own way out, heedless of the will that is within me." -All Quiet On The Western Front, Chapter 12
