Famous quotes containing the words prison and/or labour:
“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)
“A bad book is as much of a labour to write as a good one; it comes as sincerely from the author’s soul.”
