Escape

Famous quotes containing the word escape:

The night is cold and delicate and full of angels
Pounding down the living. The factories are all lit up,
The chime goes unheard.
We are together at last, though far apart.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

True, I have a body
and I cannot escape from it.
I would like to fly out of my head,
but that is out of the question.”
