Famous quotes containing the word bars:

    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)

    The last public hanging in the State took place in 1835 on Prince Hill.... On the fatal day, the victim, a man named Watkins, peering through the iron bars of his cell, and seeing the townfolk scurrying to the place of execution, is said to have remarked, ‘Why is everyone running? Nothing can happen until I get there.’
    —Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    I would sell my life to avoid
    the pain that begins in the crib
    with its bars or perhaps
    with your first breath
    when the planets drill
    your future into you....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
