Desperate

Famous quotes containing the word desperate:

“Show me two villages, one embowered in trees and blazing with all the glories of October, the other a merely trivial and treeless waste, or with only a single tree or two for suicides, and I shall be sure that in the latter will be found the most starved and bigoted religionists and the most desperate drinkers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“O mischief, thou art swift
To enter in the thoughts of desperate men!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“As I pass down the corridor
past desperate faces at each cell,
your eyes and my eyes may meet.
You will be dark, unkempt,
but I pray for one glimpse of your face
why do I want this?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
