Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and
go to the grave with the song still in them.
?Henry David Thoreau
Desperation is sometimes as powerful
an inspirer as genius.
?Benjamin Disraeli
We all need money, but there
are degrees of desperation.
?Anthony Burgess
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change.
Only those who can leave behind everything they
have ever believed in can hope to escape.
?William S. Burroughs
