Hope is such a beautiful, magical thing. You know there's a friendship in your life that won't last. You know you will never quite be able to fix your relationship with your parents. You know you won't ever find the kind of love you dream of. But in moments of strength, you hope. And sometimes, like a miracle, hope wins.

“I don’t know what to do,” he said.
“No harm in that. I’ve never known what to do,” said Rincewind with hollow cheerfulness. “Been completely at a loss my whole life.” He hesitated “I think it’s called being human, or something.”
Terry Pratchett, ‘Sourcery’.

I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because 'romantic' doesn't mean 'sugary.' It's dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain.
— Catherine Breillat
