“Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one's rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.”
Georges Bataille
“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution”
Kahlil Gibran
“All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.”
Lenny Bruce
“There's 150 years of fear, violence and pain soaked into those walls, ... The overall mood there is one of despair, and filming there gives the show grit and authenticity.”
Wentworth Miller
“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.”
C.S. Lewis
“Do not allow others to abort your dreams. Follow your passion. Do so passionately and without apology!”
Lashan Dia Gray
