In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs man's torments.

Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

The only thing worse than unrealized hope is no hope.

To keep false hopes is to prolong misery.

Hope hurts. That's what you need to learn, and fast, if you don't want it to cut you open from the inside out. Hope is bad. Hope means you keep on holding to things that won't ever be so again, and so you bleed an inch at a time until there's nothing left. Ely-Eleanor is always saying 'don't use this word' and 'don't use that word,' but she never bans the ones that are really bad. She never bans hope.

Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope.

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

... die Hoffnung: sie ist in Wahrheit das übelste der Übel, weil sie die Qual der Menschen verlängert.

Hope could be more painful than despair.

We suffer from an incurable malady: Hope.

the failure of hope has a name: it is called suffering.

Hope is a vicious beast. It sinks in its claws and it doesn’t let go.

El más terrible de todos los sentimientos es el sentimiento de tener la esperanza muerta.

But have heart. Hope is something that can be very dangerous but without it life would be horribly dry. Impossible, even. Take it from me.
