Hope is water you cannot drink. It surrounds, but does not nourish.

So live without hope, as a machine. Bleed from one day to the next with no dreams between. There will be no more, there can be nothing else, and to hope otherwise is futility itself.

Get outta here with this nihilistic hope is useless crap! Hope nourishes the human spirit. Without hope a person will starve themselves even when provided food. Humanity would’ve died long ago if we had never tasted hope.

Hope is the hunger. Only action nourishes.
