hope

I think: you deserve to be what you are if you could bear to get that way. You must have seen it coming. And now there's nothing for you here. No one will protect you, and the people won't see any reason not to do you harm. Your life will divide up between the fear of madness and the panic of self-preservation. That's it: feed up for going mad. I'm afraid that's all we have to offer you - Martin Amis.
