“The light is flame of life.”— Lailah Gifty Akita Related Quotes “Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don’t, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.”– Vaclav Havel “Hope is the greatest gift and the greatest evil…Hope saved us and hope might yet kill us.”— Nalini Singh “Through the doorway to choice and hope were the saddest girls I have ever met. Not because someone beat them or because someone molested them or because they were poor or pregnant or even because they put needles in their arms or pills in their mouths or weed in their lungs or alcohol down their ever-constricting throats. They were the saddest girls I have ever met because every one of them had it in her to lose a shot at a self and become her mother.”— Lidia Yuknavitch
