Notable quotes

“For a moment hope, bright and cruel as a knife, presented itself to me. It took every ounce of strength I had to turn away.”
— C. L. Anderson, Bitter Angels (2009), Chapter 7
“Everything passes away — suffering, pain, blood, hunger, pestilence. The sword will pass away too, but the stars will still remain when the shadows of our presence and our deeds have vanished from the earth. There is no man who does not know that. Why, then, will we not turn our eyes towards the stars? Why?”
— Mikhail Bulgakov, The White Guard
“As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!”
— Ezekiel 13:11 NIV
“Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.”
— Václav Havel, Disturbing the Peace (1986), Chapter 5 : The Politics of Hope
“μετανοήσατε οὖν καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι ὑμῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας.”
— Repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out.
