I'm voting for Gore because the other is unthinkable. Which most of us will probably do. I hope all of us. I've always liked Ralph Nader and would like to see a real third party, but the thought of George Bush as president is unthinkable.
Richard GereIt is an awful thing to say, but if I was a Rover worker I would not be pinning my hopes on a deal by next Monday, I'd be looking for a new job. [on Rover's troubles in April 2005]
Jeff RandallI've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well [on Newcastle]

David NalbandianI have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
Yves Saint LaurentWhen he's late for dinner, I know he's either having an affair or is lying dead in the street. I always hope it's the street.
Jessica TandyArthur hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realised there was a contradiction there and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

Ryan SidebottomTravelling is like gambling: it is always connected with winning and losing, and generally where it is least expected we receive, more or less than what we hoped for.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheAll our hopes are pinned on one person - Paula Radcliffe. If Paula doesn't win gold then we are going to have a postmortem on this Olympic team. [she didn't win gold, but Britain came top 10 overall in 2004 Athens Olympics]
Roger BlackWhat can innocence hope for,
When such as sit her judges are corrupted!
Philip MassingerHe is not the hope of a Tory future because he is the reincarnation of a failed Tory past [on Michael Howard]

Al NormanFear and hope are alike underneath. [In that they are both emotions]
Richard FordIn spite of myself, I go on hoping. I hope with all my heart that there will be painting in heaven. [Last words]
Jean-baptiste CorotAn adolescent is somebody who is in between things. A teenager is somebody who's kind of permanently there. And so living with them through the various teenage hopes and sorrows and joys was curiously enough a maturing experience for me.
Andrew GreeleyBut what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Lord ByronI want to play for Australia in both forms.
I'm just focusing on making as many runs for Victoria as possible. Unfortunately I just got a hundred today.
I would have liked to have got a big 180 or 200, but hopefully I get another chance.
David Hussey' You never know what movie I will be in next, but let's just hope it's sells (for my sake at least)!'
Cameron DiazIf Ronnie is medically depressed or has problems I would genuinely feel sorry for him and hope he gets better. But if he just can't be bothered and there's nothing wrong with him, I think that is obviously wrong.
Graeme DottBeing an actress is something that a large number of little girls hope to become, so to make it makes you feel like one of the lucky ones which of course you are

Michelle RyanAbout the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment.
Josh BillingsNicola is absolutely stunning. It's up to the casting directors but we really hope she gets through. She didn't let on to the casting directors she was a beauty queen. [on Nicola Jolly joining Hollyoaks]
Ali BastianSure I love Goldie. How could you not love Goldie? Everyone loves Goldie. I love her, and I hope our love will continue, but I don't want to give an I-love-Goldie-Hawn interview.
Kurt RussellChrist is the foundation of all our hopes for time and for eternity. Oh, build on this divine foundation! All other foundations are sinking sand.
Robert Stuart MacArthurNothing is as simple as we hope it will be.
Jim HorningIt's impossible for anybody else to understand why it has taken me so long [to get married]. But I don't think it had been right before and I don't think Sophie would have said yes. Hopefully the fact that she has said yes means I've got the timing right.
Prince EdwardLet's face it, I haven't got a hope in hell of winning [on his election stand]
Garry BushellThose who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheWe are catching them [Chelsea] and we just hope the finishing line doesn't come too soon.

George W Bush
I've moved on and, hopefully, so has everyone else.
Nick Leeson
Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.
Lin Yutang
I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.
Shania Twain
Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.
Ivo Andric
People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to 'look forward to' - to work for and hope for.
