Famous quotes containing the word despair:
“I sometimes despair of getting anything quite simple and honest done in this world by the help of men. They would have to be passed through a powerful press first, to squeeze their old notions out of them, so that they would not soon get upon their legs again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
