Journalists say a thing that they know isn't true, in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
So we just hope that all of these governors who are grappling will be able to provide the basic services to our citizens and not have to cut things that really are painful. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically, we get three mandates: to love God, to love each other, and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>

People see I am a mother and head of a household. Today in Chile, one-third of households are run by women. They wake up, take the children to school, go to work. To them I am hope. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully, you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
