“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”

“I was caged in our body and caged in his arms and, somehow, the former was the real prison.”

“This is not my prison. I carry it with me. We devise cages of our own choosing.”

“What's this flesh? A little cruded milkFantastical puff-paste. Our bodies are weaker than thosePaper prisons boys use to keep flies in; more contemptible,Since our is to preserve earth-worms. Didst thou ever seen A lark in a cage? Such is the soul in the body: this worldIs like her little turf of grass, and the heaven o'er our heads Like her looking-glass, only gives us a miserable knowledge Of the small compass of our prison.”

“Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,And to stop the muscle that makes us confess”

“Instead of making prisoners out of our students, we ought to make students out of our prisoners.”
