^That would make a good page quote, methinks.

Here's where I got the idea from:

"Well, I admit my crib is pretty sweet. But a gold cage is still a cage, Harry."

[up] That entire quote would either be great as the page quote or the caption...it's certainly less bloated than the current quote.

I'd suggest it for page quotation. The current one is a mess, aside from being a discussion more than a quotation.

Two variations on the same idea; I'm not sure which I prefer (or even whether either is much good - I'm not at my best at the moment):

"No matter how fairly made or of what precious metals wrought, no matter how draped in richest cloths, bars yet make a prison."

"No matter how fairly made or of what precious metals wrought, no matter how draped in richest cloths, a lock still makes a prison, and a barred door a cage."

[up] Both are good, prefer the second.

I think they're too long for a caption, myself.

I'm still partial to 46 or 49. 53 as a page quote, if it's not too redundant.

Seems like we're going to have to have a crowner to decide caption.

Calling it. The caption's added and the tag's adjusted; locking up.
