Quote

There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.

Pessimism of the spirit; optimism of the will.

Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.

Optimism is the key.

I always try to be cautiously optimistic.

Optimism is the foundation of courage.

Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.

My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.

I find nothing more depressing than optimism.
