Desperate quotes
finally, I was able to complete the quote from desperate housewives, season 1 ^_^
“People, by their very nature, are always on the lookout for intruders Trying to prevent those on the outside from getting in. But there will always be those who force their way into our lives Just as there will be those we invite in But the most troubling of all will be the ones who stand on the outside looking in. the ones we never truly get to know." - Desperate Housewives episode 5, come in stranger
"The search for power begins when we’re quite young. As children, we’re taught that the power of good triumphs over the power of evil. But as we get older, we realize that nothing is ever that simple. Traces of evil always remain…" - Desperate Housewives episode 6, running to stand still
“Competition, it means different things to different people. But whether it’s a friendly rivalry… or a fight to the death. The end result is the same. There will be winners, and there will be losers. Of course, the trick is to know which battles to fight. You see, no victory comes without a price."
- Desperate Housewives episode 7, anything you can do
“There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner. Of course, not everyone feels guilt over the bad things they do. In contrast, there are those who assume more than their share of the blame. There are others, who sooth their consciences with small acts of kindness. By telling themselves their sins were justified. Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do better next time, and pray for forgiveness. Sometimes, their prayers are answered."
- Desperate Housewives episode 8, guilty
"People are complicated creatures. On one hand, able to perform great acts of charity On the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal It’s a constant battle that ranges within all of us, Between the better angels of our nature, And the temptation of our inner demons." -
Desperate Housewives episode 9, suspicious minds
"Trust is a fragile thing, Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we’re closest to can betray us And total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned”.
- Desperate Housewives episode 10, come back to me
"We are all searching for someone. That special person who will provide us what’s missing in our lives. Someone who can offer companionship, or assistance, or security And sometimes if we search very hard, We can find someone who provides us with all three, Yes, we are all searching for someone, And if we can’t find them, we can only pray, they find us…”
– Desperate Housewives episode 11- Move on
"Death is inevitable. It’s a promise made to each of us at birth. But before that promise is kept, we all hope something will happen to us. Whether it is the thrill of romance. The joy of raising a family, or the anguish of great loss. We all hope to experience something that makes our lives meaningful, But the sad fact is, not all lives have meaning, Some people spend their time on this planet just sitting on the sidelines. Waiting for something to happen to them, before it’s too late." - Desperate Housewives episode 12, A little death everyday
"Sooner or later, the time comes when we all must become responsible adults. And learn to give up what we want, so we can chose to do what is right, Of course, a lifetime of responsibility isn’t always easy. And as the years go on, it’s a burden that can become too heavy for some to bear Not only for ourselves, but also for those we love, Yes, sooner or later we must all become responsible adults. No one knows this better than the young.”
– Desperate Housewives episode 13, It’s your fault "It’s impossible to grasp just how powerful love is…. it can sustain us through trying times… or motivate us to make extraordinary sacrifices. It can force decent men to commit the darkest deeds… or compel ordinary women to search for hidden truths. … And long after we’re gone, love remains burned into our memories. We all search for love, but some of us, after we found it, wish we hadn’t”.
– Desperate Housewives episode 14, Love is in the air
"Yes, each new day in suburbia brings with it a new set of lies. The worst are the ones we tell ourselves before we fall asleep. We whisper them in the dark, telling ourselves we’re happy. Or that he’s happy.. That we can change.. Or that he will change his mind.. We persuade ourselves we can live with our sins.. Or that we can live without him.. Yes. Each night before we fall asleep we lie to ourselves in a desperate, desperate hope that, come morning, it will all be true." – Desperate Housewives episode 15, Impossible
"What could be more amusing than the public exposure of hypocritical sinners? Yes, everyone loves a scandal. And if for some reason, you’re not enjoying the latest one… Well…the next one is always around the corner” - Desperate Housewives episode 16, the ladies who lunch
“We all honor heroes for different reasons. Sometimes because they’re daring Sometimes for their bravery, Sometimes for their goodness. But mostly we honor heroes because at one point or another, We all dream of being rescued, Of course, if the right hero doesn’t come along, Sometimes we just have to rescue ourselves." - Desperate Housewives episode 17, There wont be trumpets
"Children come into the world with their own agendas. Some to brighten our days, Some to test our patience, Some to give us purpose, Some to take care of us… Yes, when they come children change everything, Especially when they’re not invited” - Desperate Housewives episode 18, Children will listen
“Yes, life is a journey One that is much better traveled with a companion by our side. Of course, that companion can be just about anyone. A neighbor on the other side of the street… Or the man on the other side of the bed, The companion can be a mother with good intentions, Or a child, who’s up to no good, Still, despite our best intentions, some of us will lose our companions along the way. And then the journey becomes unbearable, You see, human beings are designed for many things, But loneliness isn’t one of them.”
- Desperate Housewives episode 19, Live alone and like it
"Spring comes every year to Wisteria Lane, but not everyone remembers to stop and smell the flowers. Some are too busy worrying about the future. Or mistakes they’ve made in the past. Others are preoccupied with not getting caught. Or thinking of ways to catch someone else. Still, there will always be a few who remember to take a moment and appreciate what spring has given them. Just as there will always be those who prefer to sit in the dark brooding over everything they’ve lost”

"The vow is simple, really. Those who take it promise to stay together For better or for worse. For richer or for poorer, In sickness and in health, To honor and to cherish Forsaking all others, Until death do us part, Yes, the vow is simple, Finding someone worthy of such a promise is the hard part, But if we can, that’s when we begin to live happily ever after.”
- Desperate Housewives episode 21, Sunday in the park with George
"Nothing is forever and the time comes when We all must say goodbye to the world we knew, Goodbye to everything we had taken for granted. Goodbye to those we though would never abandon us. And when these changes finally do occur, When the familiar has departed and the unfamiliar has taken its place, All or any of us can really do is to say hello and welcome."
-Desperate Housewives episode 22, Goodbye for now
“It’s an odd thing to look back on the world, to watch those I left behind. Each in her own way so brave, so determined, and so very desperate. Desperate to venture out, but afraid of what she’ll miss when she goes Desperate to get everything she wants, Even when she’s not exactly sure of what that is.. Desperate for life to be perfect again, although she realizes it never really was. Desperate for a better future, if she can find a way to escape her past. I not only watch, I cheer them on, these amazing women. I hope so much they’ll find what they’re looking for. But I know not all of them will. Sadly, that’s just not the way life works. Not everyone gets a happy ending”.
