Hope

"Hope is a projection of the imagination, so is despair. Despair all to readily embraces the ills it foresees; hope is an energy that arouses the mind to explore every possibility to combat them...In response to hope the imagination aroused to picture every possible issue, to try every door, to fit together even the most heterogeneous pieces in the puzzle. After the solution has been found it is difficult to find the steps taken - so many of them are just below the level of consciousness." -Thornton Wilder
