About this Quote

This quote by Georges Bernanos speaks to the significance of hope and optimism in the face of poverty and hardship. It recommends that an individual who is struggling economically and has absolutely nothing to eat needs more than simply food to survive. They require hope and the belief that things can get better. This hope can be discovered in the form of illusions, or dreams, that can help them to stay positive and motivated. It is a tip that poverty is not simply a physical issue, but likewise a mental one. It is important to recognize that people in hardship need more than simply material products to manage. They require hope and the belief that they can make a much better life for themselves. This quote is a powerful tip that hope and optimism can be just as important as food in assisting people to make it through and flourish.
