“Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play.”
Thomas Hardy quotes (British Novelist and Poet who set much of his work in Wessex, an imaginary county in southwestern England. 1840-1928)
