It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call.

Josemaria Escriva

Leonard Cohen

I'm a pessimist by nature. A pot head, but a pessimist.

Bill Maher
