"Well, most learn to walk life's road by themselves. But a sad few of us simply stop trying." - Desperate Housewives

"It will happen to all of us eventually. The moment will come when we ask ourselves: Where did the time go? How did the children I once cradled grow up so very quickly? How did the life I dreamt of turn into a career I never expected? And how did that woman I saw each day in the mirror become someone I don't even recognize?" - Desperate Housewives

"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. Because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us. Because so many of us are cowardly. And afraid to stand up for what is right. Because so many of us give into 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." - Desperate Housewives

There is a certain time of night, after children have been put to bed and husbands have begun snoring, that women lie awake and think of the secrets they've been keeping from their friends. It might be an impromptu wedding, or a recently diagnosed tumor, or a make believe pregnancy. Regardless, it's all they will think of until something comes along to remind them that other people have secrets too. - Desperate Housewives

"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." - Desperate Housewives

"Everyone loves a scandal no matter how big or small. After all what can be more entertaining than watching the high and mighty fall? And if, for some reason, you're not enjoying the latest one, there'll soon be another." - Desperate Housewives

"The only reason you have anything in your life is because you're pretty. One day you'll be old, and when that happens you'll be nothing." - Desperate Housewives

"All children love games. But children grow up and then they find new games to play. They pretend to be well so their families won't worry. They lie to their lovers about where they go in the afternoon. They invent stories to hide the truth from their friends. Yes, everyone has fun playing games, right up until the moment someone gets hurt." - Desperate Housewives

"Death is inevitable, it's a promise made to each of us at birth. But before that promise is kept, we want something to 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 to make 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

"People by their 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 who we invite in...But the most troubling of all, will be the ones who stand on the outside looking in. The one's we never truly get to know." - Desperate Housewives
