Famous quotes containing the word desperate:

    Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation.
    Alice Miller (20th century)

    Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    He took him down below a cramping rafter,
    And showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
    The water in desperate straits like frantic fish,
    Salmon and sturgeon, lashing with their tails.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
