The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief but of despair.

As the plane got closer to Miami I had this terrible feeling he was dying. Maybe he was telling me that he was going. I felt anger panic despair and helplessness.

My friends love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.

Look if I were alone in the world I would have the right to choose despair solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone.

At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers and at its worst an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.

Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age my enemy!
