Famous quotes containing the words escape and/or prison:
“History takes place between the Fall and the Apocalypse, with a narrow escape route called Salvation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone, that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.”
—Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
