Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.
I realised that you can go through times of extreme happiness, but if that happiness is not coming from a deeply rooted place, you will also be going through extreme lows of sadness.
We live in a world of constant juxtaposition between joy that's possible and pain that's all too common. We hope for love and success and abundance, but we never quite forget that there is always lurking the possibility of disaster.
One of the hardest things is to create hope.
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair.
Misery is almost always the result of thinking.
