Escaped Prison Fourteen

Famous quotes containing the words escaped, prison and/or fourteen:

    ...I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 19:20.

    But neither milk-white rose nor red
    May bloom in prison air;
    The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
    Are what they give us there:
    For flowers have been known to heal
    A common man’s despair.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Fourteen-year-old, why must you giggle and dote,
    Fourteen-year-old, why are you such a goat?
    I’m fourteen years old, that is the reason,
    I giggle and dote in season.
    Stevie Smith (1902–1971)
