Well Judy I would hope in the new year we could start thinking about politics not like it was the Super Bowl where you always have to have one team that wins and the other team has to be a loser.

The only people who live in a post-black world are four people who live in a little white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The idea that America is post-racial or post-black because a man I admire Barack Obama is president of the United States is a joke. And I hope no one will even wonder about this crazy fiction again.

I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began give it a chance let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better let the price go down let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have it is a world that moves away from unequal unstable unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.

Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful but not in a cute festive way. More in a life-threatening way that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.

One thing I can't do and I hope that there are other people out there that feel the same way is climb a rope. Oh my gosh it's so hard to climb rope! It's all about grip and arms.

The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.

I think my generation it's hard to have hope when you got a $700-trillion derivatives debt to pay and a bubble about to explode and $500 trillion worth of GDP.

About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment.

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

I hope that what you take away from my album is not just the music - which I did want to be fun and I did want it to be about individuality but please also take away from it that there's no dream that's too big.

The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves as far as is possible in the society of today that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen you don't do it and it won't happen.

At the end of the day all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.

Litigant. A person about to give up his skin for the hope of retaining his bones.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope all the promise all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that.

I don't know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope.
