Letter "O" » optimism
«When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.»
«The place where optimism flourishes most is the lunatic asylum»
«What I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity.»
Author: Hermann Hesse
(Novelist, Poet)
