"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the
future can be better, it’s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If
you assume that there’s no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume
that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there’s a
chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours."
Noam Chomsky
