Famous quotes containing the words prisoner and/or death:
“So doth the swan her downy cygnets save,
Keeping them prisoner underneath her wings.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
