I am not an optimist, because i am not sure that everything ends well. nor am i a pessimist, because i am not sure that everything ends badly. i just carry hope in my heart. hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. you either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. life without hope is an empty, boring, and useless life. i cannot imagine that i could strive for something if i did not carry hope in me. i am thankful to god for this gift. it is as big as life itself.

Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

I truly believe that america's best days are still ahead of her. and for this, i am thankful to god. i am thankful that one day the war on terror will end, not because we have lost, but because we have won! i am thankful that one day our economy will rebound, not because of governmental micro-management, but as a result of america's entrepreneurial resolve. i am thankful that one day the born and the unborn will be equal under the eyes of the law in every state.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

I will only ever be drawn to people who suffer from that special and fertile anguish called self-doubt, or the thirst for the ideal, and desire for the soul's mystical fire. self-satisfaction because of some material accomplishment will never be for me. the truly great are those who quest for better spiritual selves.

New york is a meeting place for every race in the world, but the chinese, armenians, russians, and germans remain foreigners. so does everyone except the blacks. there is no doubt but that the blacks exercise great influence in north america, and, no matter what anyone says, they are the most delicate, spiritual element in that world.
Spiritual New York Exercise
There doesn't need to be a god for me. there's something in people that's spiritual, that's godlike. i don't feel like doing things just because people say things, but i also don't really know if it's better to just not believe in anything, either.
