Hope vs Optimism

«That thought alone relieved him from the pressure that had been building inside his chest and he recognized that physical reaction, as a sign from the universe showing him, that the path he had chosen was the right one.»

                                          By Raquel R. in Short Story number 2

 « Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.» 

                                                                                         Vaclav Havel
