Henry RollinsA rose trapped inside a fist.
About This Quote
There is a very strong sense of sorrow and anger behind this quote. This stems from the fact that a rose is a beautiful flower. The rose is trapped within a fist, which means that it can't grow. The rose is being held back from its full potential as a beautiful flower.
In the case of this quote, there is also some self-loathing as well. A rose needs sunlight to grow and thrive, but the person who imprisoned the rose has denied it that sunlight. This person has denied himself or herself sunlight, as well.
