Desperate

Famous quotes containing the word desperate:

“No matter what disaster occurred
She stood in desperate music wound
Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph
Where the bales and the baskets lay
No common intelligible sound
But sang, “O sea-starved hungry sea.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which hears, however measured or far away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.”
—Guy Fawkes (1570–1606)
