Quotes About Hope In Hard Times Novels & Stories

“Why? Is it worth it to save people like these?” “Saving people is easy, but saving hearts is difficult. First, learn how to save people before talking about how to save hearts. If all the people die, how could you talk about saving hearts? Your brother’s greatest wish was that he could live to see a day where there is no more war in the world. That is also my wish.” But hopes were things of beauty, and reality was cruel.

Gavril can’t believe what he saw. “Kaya sabi ko sayo, mahirap. Mahirap kontrahin o kalabanin ang kamatayan at tadhana. If you’re destined to die on that certain time, place and circumstances, it will happen anyway.” sabi ko sa kanya. He did not respond to me when I said those words to him. Pero alam ko na may malalim siyang iniisip dahil sa mga salitang sinabi ko. And that is the meaning of these notes. Never lose hope.

“Malaki ang paniniwala namin sa ‘yo. At ang pangarap mong makuha ang hustisya para sa tunay mong mga magulang, palagi naming susuportahan ng daddy mo. Tutulungan ka namin. Makukuha natin ang hustisya.” And perhaps, hope is still out there... sa oras ng unos ng buhay ay hindi natin makita ang liwanag pero hindi ito nangangahulugang wala ito. Maaaring natatakpan lamang ng ulap ng pagluluksa, hirap, at lungkot. Pero aandar ang oras at muli rin itong magpapakita. Light will show up at the end of the tunnel. Justice will prevail. The truth will come.

Ano bang inaasahan ko? But instead of softening, my heart stayed hard and cold. Mahirap man sila… hindi nito nababago kung sino siya. Poverty is not an excuse for everything, I insisted silently, shutting off any hint of pity before it could even start. Maraming mahihirap yung lumalaban ng patas, nagtratrabaho ng marangal, at hindi oportunista.

I trailed off. I heard his deep sigh. “Do not discredit yourself. It is also thanks to your courage and willingness to change, Ian.” I silently accepted what Marcus said... but I really couldn't see any hope if someone didn't help me leave the cold darkness. After the incident, my life was filled with stormy clouds, darkened corners, and regrets. It was as if I'd gotten lost in a labyrinth and couldn't find my way out. I couldn't think of ways out of the maze, so the hope I once had faded.

“And because I see something in you that I’ve never seen in anyone else— and it's hope.” Nagulat si Daisy sa sagot niya. “Hope? Pero… hindi po ba dapat ako ang nangangailangan ng pag-asa? Kayo po ang may lahat ng bagay na wala ako.” Umiling si Sander. “That’s where you’re wrong. Sometimes, having everything feels like having nothing at all.”

“Ngayon naiintindihan ko na. Maganda ang mundo ng mga tao, may masasarap na pagkain at sobrang liwanag kapag araw. At may gabi rin tulad sa atin. Kaso maliwanag pa rin kahit madilim.” Sa sumunod na araw, wala pa ring kumukuha sa kanilang tatlo. Dinadaan-daanan lamang sila ng mga tao. Nawawalan na ng pag-asa si Daldi na may tatanggap pa sa kanila. Pero sinabi sa kaniya ng mga magulang niya na huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Kailangan niyang marunong maghintay. Dahil pagkatapos ng araw, may panibagong araw ulit, na magbibigay sa kanila ng panibagong pag-asa.

Napapalakas at Galit na si Rosalia. " Hindi Ako patay, Buhay na Buhay Ako at Hindi matatapos ang Buhay ko sa ganito lang , kailangan na gawin Kong miserable Ang Buhay mo at ng pamilya mo, ayoko na kayo lang ang magiging masaya, Hindi Ako papayag, pahihirapan ko kayo, pahihirapan ko kayo!." nanlilisik na mga mata ni Angela.

The most dangerous thing about almost is that it gives people hope. It almost looks like a possibility. It almost feels close enough to reality that people start building dreams around it, convincing themselves that if they just wait a little longer, push a little harder, stay a little more patient then eventually, it will almost become something real. But sometimes, almost is just another word for disaster waiting to happen. And the worst part? Not everyone realizes that at the same time. “You’re smiling at your phone again.”

Ngunit ngayon na nakita na niya ang Liwanag, mas lalo lamang naging malinaw kung gaano kalalim ang dilim na pinanggalingan niya. Mahinang ngumiti si Ysa. Hindi iyon ngiti ng pagmamataas. Ngiti iyon ng isang taong minsan ding naligaw. “Kapag nasa pinakamatinding desperasyon tayo,” marahan niyang sagot, “lahat tayo ay umaasang may taong hahawak sa atin… at hihila palabas.” Bahagya siyang huminto. “Someone who won’t let us drown alone.”
