Hopes in America
“It seems like the world is so crazy and everybody is against each other, you know, and it doesn’t have to be like that. It’s really nuts to me. So I’d like to see that, you know, come together – let’s all hold hands, light candles in a big circle or something, you know?”
“I guess, for things to get better, not to get worse. I could say that directly as ‘in the world,’ ‘in society,’ ‘this community,’ and myself. Because I like the idea of progression, and I like the idea of growing and becoming a better version of what’s happening. I don’t want to be like ‘World […]
“My hope for the future is that we all treat people like we’d like to be treated. I think that pretty much solves it right there. It’s not brain surgery, it’s not rocket science. I find when we do that as human beings, regardless of who we are, what social strata, what race, gender, religion, […]
“I hope that we can make that transition where we understand that people have a basic right to food and shelter and medical care, and just give them those things and not insist that they perform some kind of labor or menial task just to ‘earn’ that.”
“I think instead of going forwards, we’re going backwards again, and it’s so sad. Instead of being more united, I see more the opposite way. So hopefully everything goes better, more than for us – I’m getting older – for my daughter’s future, the next generation, hopefully it changes…that would be good.”
“I’d love to see a world where there are no borders, and humans work together to have a good time and stop killing each other. That would be lovely. That’s my hope. And also floating robot heads – I want to be a floating robot head with lasers, that can still eat and have oral […]
“My hope for the future – and this is something that I’ve been working on right now, specifically, very recently – is I want to start seeing myself as deserving of the love that people show me. I’ve always had confidence in myself but now I want to have pride in myself. And that comes […]
“A sense of unity, of peace…If we could just focus on peace on a grander scale, we could make it happen – there’s still some of us that have hope.”
“I hope that people open up their eyes and realize, that they’re looking through real eyes instead of believing their lies that they think are real. And know your vowels: ‘AEIOU’ for you and yours. ‘Eh, Earth – do I owe you? Yes, you do.’ Stop having so much fun, because fun spelled backwards is […]
“I hope I do this forever. 100 years from now, I hope you come back and interview me and I’ll still be doing this.”
“Hopefully, we change the way we move the world, as far as nature. We take nature for granted too much – and that touches on the subject of the Hurricane again – the fact that we had never seen a Hurricane that big. That comes from – obviously some climate change in there – and […]
“My hope for the future would be that my kids have all the opportunities and more than what I’ve had. That they can go out, enjoy, and if they’ve learned from me and from other people – new and unique ideas – that they could do that. I think that’s the most important thing.”
“I hope that we don’t ever lose the attitude in our country of ‘We’re here to do something.’ – I just feel God’s put us here to do something and I hope that I’m able to accomplish that.”
“I hope people will understand where they come from and who they are personally. Once you understand who you are and what your purpose is here in life, everything else is obsolete. You stop worrying about what everybody else is doing and worry about yourself.”
“My hope for the future is that people would realize that we are far more alike than we are different. It doesn’t matter what background you’re from, what religion you are, what color your skin is. Smiles mean the same thing, tears mean the same thing. And I really think if we could stop focusing […]
“I just hope that we can create a society where there is equality, not just for race but also gender, sexuality, women’s rights, and then also people that are coming to our country – we stand for ‘Freedom’ and we need to allow people to be free here, and I just want everyone to feel […]
“If I think about the city of Boston, my hope for the future is that everyone that wants to live in the city and be a part of the city’s success and growth and what’s so exciting to consider yourself a Bostonian, can do it. We have such gaps between – certainly income gaps, incredibly […]
“Education, education. If I can sum it up and be specific at the same time: Education. For everybody. Education and awareness.”
