Design is about doing - Pessimism posters 2

I found some more quotes about pessimism which I feel could work better for the 'pessimism' poster



If we see light at the end of the tunnel, it the light of the oncoming train. - Robert Lowell
A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists. - Don Marquis
In the long run, the pessimist may be proven right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip. - Daniel Readon
The pessimist is seldom an agitating individual. His creed breeds indifference to others, and he does not trouble himself to thrust his views upon the unconvinced. - Agnes Repplier
A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself. - George Bernard Shaw
I doubt anyone will ever see -- anywhere -- a memorial to a pessimist. - Source Unknown
Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they're better than other human beings. - James Baldwin
No good deed goes unpunished. - Clare Boothe Luce
If you pray for rain, don't be surprised if you're struck by lightning. - Damien Cannon
Pessimism never won any battle. - Dwight D. Eisenhower
I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half-empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth. - Janeane Garofalo
Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play. - Thomas Hardy 

MORE EXPERIMENTS










Using the new typeface  and the 'ultra condensed' typeface which I originally chose for both categories I have decide to just make the text and the blue circle smaller to show the 'small' and constrained ideas of pessimism.
