“the same desperation that everyone else had, which is, 'How can I help?' ”
Barry Manilow
“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.”
Henry David Thoreau
“My interest in desperation lies only in that sometimes I find myself having become desperate. Very seldom do I start out that way. I can see of course that, in the abstract, thinking and all activity is rather desperate.”
Willem de Kooning
“We can't forget how desperately they need our help and how important they are.”
Wendie Malick
“Colleges in the area desperately need our help to get back to business, and students need our help to get on with their educations.”
Dale Kildee
“Like everyone, I was stunned by the devastation and desperately wanted to help. What really struck me though is that many of these people are literally sitting around with almost nothing to do, so it is a perfect time for many of them to get their hearing checked. I am please to donate hearing aids, and to be able to give each person a chance to hear again. Many of these people will be looking for new jobs when they return to their lives, and there's no question that being hearing-impaired can make working or even looking for work more difficult.”
William Austin
“These are desperate days for the Bush campaign with the president's job approval in the danger zone. They are desperately using the politics of fear to try and distract from President Bush's failed record on the economy and Iraq.”
