Famous quotes containing the words prison and/or today:
“But neither milk-white rose nor red
May bloom in prison air;
The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
Are what they give us there:
For flowers have been known to heal
A common man’s despair.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Let us not be deceived—we are today in the midst of a cold war.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
