Famous quotes containing the words prison and/or reform:
“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)
“Every reform was once a private opinion, and when it shall be a private opinion again, it will solve the problem of the age.”
