Only optimists commit suicide, the optimists who can no longer be...optimists. The others, having no reason to live, why should they have any to die?
Emil Cioran
We have found that our great philosophers and our great men of action are optimists. So, too, our most potent men of letters have been optimists in their books and in their lives. No pessimist ever won an audience commensurately wide with his genius, and many optimistic writers have been read and admired out of all measure to their talents, simply because they wrote of the sunlit side of life.
Helen Keller
Optimists and pessimists die the same way. They just live differently. I prefer to live as an optimist.
Shimon Peres
Communists are the last optimists.
Nadine Gordimer
Pessimists are just realistic optimists.

Optimists are badly informed pessimists.
