Escaped Prison Fourteen

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

    I heard of one man who complained that somebody had stolen his boots in the night; and when he found them, he wanted to know what they had done to them,—they had spoiled them,—he never put that stuff on them; and the bootblack narrowly escaped paying damages.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    People have passed through a very dark tunnel at the end of which there was a light of freedom. Unexpectedly they passed through the prison gates and found themselves in a square. They are now free and they don’t know where to go.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    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)
