Quote

Love is possible as life is possible.

Hope is not a form of guarantee; it's a form of energy, and very frequently that energy is strongest in circumstances that are very dark.

I realised that if I wished to write about the dark and not allow for hope, people would recognise it as false - because hope is the nub of what we are.

Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.

Darkness is full of possibility.

The point about hope is that it is something that occurs in very dark moments. It is like a flame in the darkness; it isn't like a confidence and a promise.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

Romantic love, or sex, is the only good thing in a life that is being lived in a dark way.

Everything can change. You can always have hope.

One hopes, of course, that a relationship grows and becomes a deep and wonderful marriage and friendship that lasts forever. But that's not always the case.
