I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it. (Studs Terkel)
Studs Terkel - From the Hope category:
I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven. (Studs Terkel)
Studs Terkel - From the Immortality category:
People are hungry for stories. It's part of our very being. Storytelling is a form of history, of immortality, too. It goes from one generation to another. (Studs Terkel)
Studs Terkel - From the Importance category:
When you become part of something, in some way you count. It could be a march; it could be a rally, even a brief one. You're part of something, and you suddenly realize you count. To count is very important. (Studs Terkel)

Studs Terkel - From the Words category:
We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully, you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.' (Studs Terkel)
Studs Terkel - From the Work category:

Studs Terkel - From the Writing category:
I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it's now. (Studs Terkel)
