I think this inmate took this quotation a little too seriously. After making an incredible escape from prison, Charles Victor Thompson was captured outside a liquor store.

• CNN.com – Escaped killer captured — drunk – Nov 7, 2005

To escape from prison, he told the guards he was going to meet with his lawyer in a booth. There, he changed into civilian clothes and convinced prison officials that he was an investigator for the Attorney General’s office and was escorted out of the prison. After making such a dramatic escape, I’m a little disappointed that he was arrested at Daiquiris Unlimited.

Had he read the greats, he would have stayed away from the liquor store and kept hiding.
