About this Quote

This quote by Herman Melville speaks with the power of hope and its capability to transcend the physical world. Hope is a struggle of the soul, a force that permits us to break free from the impermanence of life and to recognize our own everlasting nature. Hope is a suggestion that, in spite of the hardships and suffering of life, there is something higher and more significant that lies beyond. It is a reminder that our lives are not defined by our physical scenarios, but by our spiritual essence. Hope is a suggestion that, no matter how difficult life might be, we can constantly find solace in the understanding that our souls are everlasting. Hope is a pointer that, no matter how dark the night might be, the dawn will constantly come.
