Fyodor Dostoevsky Hopelessness Quotations

It's in despair that you find the sharpest pleasures, particularly when you are most acutely aware of the hopelessness of your position.

Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: "Leave behind all hope, you who enter here."
