More quotations tagged with “despair” Betty Williams, a 1977 Nobel Peace Prize laureate from Northern Ireland, once witnessed the bombing death of Irish children, and a little girl died in Williams's arms. The girl's legs had been severed in the explosion and thrown across the street from where the woman held the bleeding child. Williams went home in shock and despair. Later, the full impact of what she'd seen jolted her awake. She stepped outside, screaming out in the middle of the night. She knocked on doors that might easily have opened with weapons pointed at her face and cried, "What kind of people have we become that we would allow children to be killed on our streets?" Within four hours the city was awake and there were sixteen thousand names on petitions for peace. —Linda Hogan More about this quote Tags: peace weapons children bombs death shock despair Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Action is the antidote to despair. —Joan Baez More about this quote Tags: action despair Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Time is fluid, so the moments where everything feels perfect pass in a wink, and those where you're on your knees in despair drag on like the death of a thousand cuts. —Ann Aguirre in Wanderlust More about this quote Tags: time perception despair Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Despair is a greater deceiver than hope. —Marqui de Vauvenargues More about this quote Tags: hope despair sadness deception Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email I can't count the number of times I have officially assembled the equipment to take my life: a knife, a handgun, a plastic bag, a bottle of codeine and a fifth of vodka. My motivations are never quite clear: perception of failure, futility, a sense of irremediable isolation, mtv — nothing everyone else hasn't suffered through. Yet I tend to magnify my gloomy outlook into a drive-in picture of the end of the world. I can't seem to remember that despair is a temporary state, a dark storm along the highway; that if I can just stick it out, keep the wipers going and my foot on the gas, I will make it through to the other side. —Poe Ballantine More about this quote Tags: failure despair suicide isolation futility temporary Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
