Quotes : Desperate Housewives Pt. 2



Hope & Someone
Everyone in the world needs someone they can depend on, be they faithful friends, determined advocates... or a loving family.  But occasionally in life, the people we thought would always be there for us leave.  And if that happens, it's amazing the lengths we'll go to... to get them back.

Me & Someone
Everyone in this world needs someone they can depend upon, be it a faithful companion, trusted confidant... or loyal friend.

Lies Theory
You tell one lie, the second one comes easy. Then you're making up new lies to cover up the old ones.  Soon you can’t turn back.

Its about Control
Control.  It's extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it.  Some rely on deception, while others engage in outright trickery.  Then there are those who resort to extortion.  Why do we fight so hard for control?  Because we know: To lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others.  And what could be more dangerous? One day she could be. Don't even joke like that.

Make-believe Games
Everyone enjoys a game of make-believe now and then. Of course, the ways in which we play can vary greatly.  Sometimes, we imagine certain relationships to be more meaningful than they really are.  Occasionally, we put on a show, as if to convince ourselves our secrets aren't really all that terrible.  Yes, the game of make-believe is a simple one.  You start by lying to yourself...  And if you can get others to believe those lies... you win.

Cameras & Life
Cameras are simple tools designed to capture images.  Image that tell us more about ourselves than we realize.  They remind us of the long journey we’ve taken; the loved ones who travelled alongside us; those we lost along the way and those waiting for us on the road ahead.

Light of Darkness
In a world filled with darkness, we all need some kind of light.  Whether it's a great flame that shows us how to win back what we've lost, or a powerful beacon intended to scare away potential monsters, or a few glowing bulbs that reveal to us the hidden truth of our past.
We all need something to help us get through the night.  Even if it's just the tiniest glimmer..

Good v.s Bad
It's not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys.
Sinners can surprise you. And the same is true for saints.
Why do we try to define people as simply good or simply evil?
Because no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart... and that anyone is capable of anything.

Nature of War
Everyone understands the nature of war.
We also understand that victory depends on the cards that we have been dealt.
Some, when faced with a bloody battle, simply give in.  But for some, surrender is unacceptable.
Even though they know it will be a fight......To the death.

Unlikely Friendships
The world is filled with unlikely friendships.
How do they begin?  One person desperately in need, and another will to lend a helping hand.  When such kindness is offered...We're finally able to see the worth of those we had previously written off.  And before we know it... a bond has formed, regardless of whether others can understand it.  Unlikely friendships start up every day.  No one understands this more than the lonely. In fact, it's what they count on.

 Favor & the Agenda
Now and then, we all need a little help...So we ask for small favour.  But it's always best to be wary of those eager to come to our rescue. Because even the smallest of favours...carries a price tag.  Everyone has an agenda. To come and help you out. No matter what they may tell us.  And in those rare instances "where there" is no ulterior motive, we're so taken aback<that we may fail to recognize the truth...that a loving friend has just done us an enormous favour.

The Temptation
Temptation comes to all of us.  Whether or not we succumb depends on our ability to recognize its disguise.  Sometimes it arrives in the form of an old flame, flickering back to life. Or a new friend who could end up being so much more. Or a young child who awakens feelings we didn't know we had. And so we give in to temptation, all the while knowing come morning, we'll have to suffer the consequences.

The Prayers
There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don't want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from its insight into human nature...  We ask God to grant us the serenity;
To accept the things we cannot change... because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us...
The courage to change the things we can... because so many of us are cowardly and afraid to stand up for what is right...
The wisdom to know the difference... because so many of us give in to despair... when faced with an impossible choice.
The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear you and answer your prayer.  The bad news is that sometimes the answer is no.

People & Truth
When the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden, because they know if revealed, the damage it will do.  So they conceal it within sturdy walls... or they place it behind closed doors... or they obscure it with clever disguises.  But truth, no matter how ugly, always emerges...  and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt... and someone else will revel in their pain, and that's the ugliest truth of all.

Alone
It's a shocking moment for each of us, that moment we realize; we are all alone in this world. The person that we care the most could one day abandon us. The person that we trust so implicitly might betray us.  The person that we love so deeply perhaps won't return to us.  And then we could end up all by ourselves.  Of course, some see great value in going it alone.   Sometimes it just all thumbs.

Love & Trust

The choice to separate from what we love is painful...  The only thing worse... ...is when someone we've trusted makes the choice for us.
