Desperate Housewives

Over the past few years (or whenever it was that I first started watching Desperate Housewives from Epsiode 1), I've saved quotes that I just loved, are my own mantra, and what I have always believed.  No one could have said it better or done it better in the script than the writers of Desperate Housewives.  I feel it's only suiting to commemorate one of my all-time favorite TV shows by finally posting my collection of quotes over the years. 

------ 

Narrative of a particular episode:  "it's not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. sinners can surprise you. and the same is true with saints. why do we try to define ppl as simply good or simply evil? Bcuz no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart. And that anyone is capable of anything."

Gaby:  "You know Carlos, I've been broke a lot of times in my life. But I have never been poor - because poor is just a state of mind."

------

Bree: What did you say?
Andrew: I hate you.
Bree: You know, the opposite of love isn’t hate – it’s indifference. And if you hate me, that means you still care. And we’re still connected.

Roy:  “when u love somebody. Love them a long time. U get… lazy. You figure they know it, so u stop saying it so much - stop showing it. When you know ur gonna lose em, that they wont be there to hear u say it... U make damn sure they know it every second of every day.”
Susan:  “I’m so sorry I brought it up”
Roy:  “Naw, these? I earned them. I was there for Mariam. I told her everything I needed to tell her. Held her hand when she was scared. These (referring to the tears) don’t bother me at all”

------

Susan:  I just don’t know what I would say that would be enough.

I don’t know how to tell ppl what kind of man Mike was.  What kind of father, husband, and friend he was.  I just never thought I’d have to sum up his life before he was done living.  

Reverend:  It’s going to be okay

Susan:  Please reverend, if there is one thing that I know for sure at this moment it's that nothing is ever going to be okay again.
