  • Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic.

  • If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!

    Life   Success   Wine  
    Soren Kierkegaard (1959). “Either/ Or”
  • Best not to anticipate too much ... it jiggles the possibilities.

  • The past, the future: - two eternities!

    Time   Memories   Past  
    Thomas Moore (1872). “The poetical works of Thomas Moore, with notes”, p.360
  • I thought I was the only one who still enjoyed his record collection, but after reading 'How Records Got Their Groove Back,' I happily discovered I was wrong. There is something familiar about my old vinyl. Call it nostalgia, but I don't care for the 'purity' of CDs. They have no personality! The crackle and pop of the stylus on a record player as you wait for the music to begin creates an anticipation that CDs simply can't provide.

  • The inability to live in the present lies in the fear of leaving the sheltered position of anticipation or memory, and so of admitting that this is the only life that one is ever likely (heavenly intervention aside) to live.

    Alain de Botton (2006). “On Love: A Novel”, p.126, Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
  • Invest in the "process" rather than the product. Process living neutralizes the depleting and impoverishing effects of chronically living in anticipation. Even when impossible goals occasionally are reached, satisfactions derived from them are invariably disappointing unless the process has given ample satisfaction along the way.

    Goal   Perspective   Way  
  • ...she (the artist, the writer) doesn't wait for inspiration, she acts in the anticipation of its apparition.

  • It was an image Melody would never forget. Or was it the emotions the image conjured - hope, excitement, and fear of the unknown, all three tightly braided together, creating a fourth emotion that was impossible to define. She was getting a second chance at happiness and it tickled like swallowing fifty fuzzy caterpillars.

    Lisi Harrison (2010). “Monster High”, p.17, Hachette UK
  • When the human organism is discharging its negative experience efficiently, the mind is empty of past or future concerns; there is no worry, anticipation, or regret. This means that the mind is left open to Being, the simplest state of awareness.

    Deepak Chopra (2007). “The Essential Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Essence of the Quantum Alternative to Growing Old”, p.114, Harmony
  • What the world needs is an Emergency Boss. An Emergency Czar. An Emergency Commander. A true Master Of Disaster. One person completely responsible for the anticipation, immediate reconnaissance, and urgent execution of rescue and relief efforts around the world.

    "We Need An Emergency Boss" by Steven Van Zandt, www.huffingtonpost.com. April 13, 2010.
  • We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine, but if defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.

    Charles Caleb Colton (1824). “Lacon, Or, Many Things in a Few Words: Addressed to Those who Think”, p.52
  • [Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!

    May   Anticipation   Lost  
  • If optimism is important, it's because many outcomes are determined by how much of it we bring to the task. It is an important ingredient of success. This flies in the face of the elite view that talent is the primary requirement of a good life, but in many cases the difference between success and failure is determined by nothing more than our sense of what is possible and the energy we can muster to convince others of our due. We might be doomed not by a lack of skill, but by an absence of hope!

  • Reading was only part of the thrill that a book represented. I got a dizzy pleasure from the weight and feel of a new book in my hand, a sensual delight from the smell and crispness of the pages. I loved the smoothness and bright colors of their jackets. For me, a stacked, unread pyramid of books was one of the sexiest architectural designs there was, because what I loved most about books was their promise, the anticipation of what lay between the covers, waiting to be found.

    Book   Reading   Hands  
    Debra Ginsberg (2006). “Blind Submission: A Novel”, p.4, Crown
  • The world is not yet exhausted: let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.

    Samuel Johnson (1977). “Selected Poetry and Prose”, p.148, Univ of California Press
  • You loved ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life shouldn’t be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and appreciation.

    FaceBook post by Amy Harmon from Sep 19, 2014
  • We occupy a space of our own creation-a collage compounded by bits and pieces of actuality arranged into a design determined by our internal perceptions, our hopes, our fears, our memories, and our anticipations.

    Memories   Space   Design  
  • One of the big misconceptions is that affairs or trysts are flings about sex. And sometimes they are, but much more often they are about desire. And that is very different. The desire to feel special, to feel seen, to feel appreciated, to be laughed at or with. The desire to be desired. That does not manifest in a sexual act per se. Affairs make you feel alive. Alchemy means it's not about the actual sex, but the sexuality, the energy, the aura. It's the imagination and anticipation of it as much or instead of the actual experience of it.

    "The Deeper Reasons Why People Have Affairs". Interview with Mark Matousek, www.psychologytoday.com. October 20, 2017.
  • Anxiety beclouds the future.

    Abraham Lincoln (2012). “The Complete Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln (Biographically Annotated Edition)”, p.449, Jazzybee Verlag
  • There is no greater illness than discouragement!

  • Studies of older Americans find that one of the best predictors of happiness is whether a person considers his or her life to have a purpose. Without a clearly defined purpose, seven in ten individuals feel unsettled about their lives; with a purpose, almost seven in ten feel satisfied!

  • It is worse to apprehend than to suffer.

  • Control over change would seem to consist in moving not with it but ahead of it. Anticipation gives the power to deflect and control force.

    Marshall McLuhan (1964). “Understanding media: the extensions of man”
  • Love is anticipation and memory, uncertainty and longing. It’s unreasonable, of course. Nothing begins with so much excitement and hope and pleasure as love, except maybe writing a story. And nothing fails as often, except writing stories. And like a story, love must be troubled to be interesting.

    John Dufresne (2008). “Love Warps the Mind a Little: A Novel”, p.140, W. W. Norton & Company
  • A man is as much affected pleasurably or painfully by the image of a thing past or future as by the image of a thing present.

    Past   Men   Anticipation  
    Baruch Spinoza (1981). “Ethics”, p.110, Commodius Vicus
  • We will not anticipate the past; so mind, young people,-our retrospection will be all to the future.

    Future   Past   People  
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1833). “The Works of the Late Right Honourable Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Collected by Thomas Moore ... A New Edition ... With a Biographical Sketch”, p.33
  • When you want to encourage a greater sense of responsibility in others (and yourself) emphasize the anticipation of accomplishment, not the penalties for failure.

    Roger Crawford (1999). “How High Can You Bounce?: Turn Setbacks Into Comebacks”, Bantam
  • Clouds out of control decoct anticipation. What use can any of us have for two moons? The miracle of order has run out and I am left in an unmiraculous city where anything may happen.

    Running   Moon   Clouds  
    "Dhalgren". Book by Samuel R. Delany, January, 1975.
  • I can never think of the time I spend idling in railway stations as lost; it's a waiting liberated from the three temporal vices of regret, anticipation or boredom, the weak echo of that bliss spent between lifetimes.
