Famous quotes containing the word desperate:

    “My taking a seat on the Council of the Fathers caused a desperate fluttering among my ghosts.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Wherever a man goes, men will pursue him and paw him with their dirty institutions, and, if they can, constrain him to belong to their desperate odd-fellow society.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When toddlers are unable to speak about urgent matters, they must resort to crying or screaming. This happens even with adults. The voice is the carrier of emotion, and when speech fails us, we need to cry out in whatever form we can to convey our meaning. Often, what passes for negativism is really the toddler’s desperate effort to make herself understood.”
    —Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
