Jane on hope

"…Hope isn't just wishful thinking," she said, telling us to imagine a long, dark tunnel with a little star at the end representing hope.

"There's no good sitting at the mouth of the tunnel and wishing that that hope would come to us," she said. "We've got to roll up our sleeves. The Bible says, gird your loins. I love that. I'm not quite sure what it means, but let's gird our loins. And we've got to climb over, crawl under, work around all the obstacles that lie between us and the star."

And by the way, Basil, she lived vibrantly and hopefully into her 90s. I'm so glad she didn't choose the Experience Machine at 75. I know she was too.
