Prison/history

Famous quotes containing the words prison and/or history:

    “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)

    “All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
