Not who you're looking for? Others named Despair: 1978 Film directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder · band · Sandman comics character · novel by Vladimir Nabokov
“Because thou must not dream, thou needst not then despair!”
“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim.”
“Despair is a kind of maturity too, or at least a last stage on one road to maturity.”
“Despair of ever being saved, "except thou be born again," or of seeing God "without holiness," or of having part in Christ except thou "love him above father, mother, or thy own life." This kind of despair is one of the first steps to heaven.”
“No change, no pause, no hope! Yet I endure.”
“Every man who has rotted here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope.”
