Escape Freedom

Famous quotes containing the words escape and/or freedom:

    “While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
    The only son is dead.

    But the mother needs to be better,
    She with thin form presently drest in black,
    By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping, often waking,
    In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep longing,
    O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape and
    withdraw,
    To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “One alone in a Chinese square
    confronted tanks, while others fled.
    He stood for freedom for us all,
    but few care now if he’s jailed or dead.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
