Red Prisoners

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or prisoners:

    they burned Joan
    and many, and many,
    burned at the stake,
    peeling their skin off,
    boiling their good red blood,
    their hearts like eggs....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    We are the prisoners of ideas. They catch us up for moments into their heaven, and so fully engage us, that we take no thought for the morrow, gaze like children, without an effort to make them our own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
