I don’t know how the other senators see me. I hope they see me as a farmer. That’s really what I am. But I don’t think they see me on a tractor or fixing equipment. I hope they see me grounded, as somebody who has common sense. – Jon Tester
Technology isn’t the enemy, it is our ally, but only if we adopt a new model that puts people before profit. I realize that we seem far from that model, but I have seen it in action and it is a beautiful thing. So I’m not willing to give up yet. Hope is the last thing to die. – Justin Sane

Some say it is the elements of hope and wonder in children’s books that make them special. But there are many dark young adult novels these days. Adults loved Harry Potter, though it was written for the young. In the end, it is probably up to the reader of any age to decide if this book is for him or her. – Katherine Paterson
God gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live. – Mattie Stepanek

I hope that increasing numbers of Christians adopt the practice of wearing a cross in a simple and discreet way as a symbol of their beliefs. – Keith O’Brien
‘Lost Girl’ has just proven to be one of those shows that people enjoy watching. It has an alchemy about it. It’s an escape or a release for people, and that’s the best we can hope for. – Kris Holden-Ried

In the long, nonillustrious history of white people pilfering African American culture, have I just perpetrated that? I’m motivated by a love for the music and by a love of the performances, and I really hope I haven’t done anything bad. – Moby

Theater isn’t there to provide answers. Only possibilities. I just ask the questions. But I believe hope comes from the fact that there is a potential for redemption. At the core, that’s what matters in the theater I’m attracted to. Do we dare to hope? Do we allow ourselves to hope? – Joe Mantello
I have yet to meet a person whose favorite movie is ‘Gigli’, but I hope to meet them one day and give them a hug. – Justin Bartha
‘Wild Hope’ just felt like such a selfish venture to me. It was a way for me to get out of my head, get some clarity on certain situations, and finally be a part of something that I was completely behind creatively and proud of. – Mandy Moore
