Text Quotes
During the first day, curious at having outsiders among them, a long stream of inmates came over and talked with me. Remarkably, according to what they told me, nearly every inmate in the prison didn’t do it. Several thousand people had been locked up unjustly and, by an incredible coincidence, all in the same prison. On the other hand, they knew an awful lot about how to knife somebody (Prison Quotes)
I’m this superphilosophical kind of person. Stuck in a prison of abstract ideas and overpowering emotions, I have this personality that makes it really hard to survive (Prison Quotes)
The caged eagle become a metaphor for all forms of isolation, the ultimate in imprisonment. A zoo is prison (Prison Quotes)
Prison always has been a good place for writers, killing, as it does, the twin demons of mobility and diversion (Prison Quotes)
There is a difference between the inmates of your criminal prisons and the inmates of your cultural prison: The former understand that the distribution of wealth and power inside the prison had nothing to do with justice (Prison Quotes)
For many of us, the hospital was as much a refuge as it was a prison. Though we were cut off from the world and all the trouble we enjoyed stirring up out there, we were also cut off from the demands and expectations that had driven us crazy. What could be expected of us now that we were stowed away in a loony bin? (Prison Quotes)
It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water (Prison Quotes)
We must go on fighting for basic education for all, but also emphasize the importance of the content of education. We have to make sure that sectarian schooling does not convert education into a prison, rather than being a passport to the wide world (Prison Quotes)
Concentrated power can be always wielded in the interest of the few and at the expense of the many. Government in its last analysis is this power reduced to a science. Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not until then (Prison Quotes)
If you want to know how many prison cells to build, look at the number of third graders who can’t read (Prison Quotes)
It’s best that I hide my real personality. I cannot tell you what it is because I don’t want to go to prison (Prison Quotes)
Society may protect itself without putting a human to death as it would a wild animal. Since we believe each person has a soul, and is capable of achieving salvation, life in prison is now an alternative to the death penalty (Prison Quotes)
I have long been aware that when an independent intellectual stands up to an autocratic state, step one toward freedom is often a step into prison. Now I am taking that step; and true freedom is that much nearer (Prison Quotes)
There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father’s love for his child (Prison Quotes)
I’ve probably been spit on more that any person alive outside of, I would say, a member of the prison system (Prison Quotes)
A revolutionary career does not lead to banquets and honorary titles, interesting research and professorial wages. It leads to misery, disgrace, ingratitude, prison and a voyage into the unknown, illuminated by only an almost superhuman belief (Prison Quotes)
Identity is a concept of our age that should be used very carefully. All types of identities, ethnic, national, religious, sexual or whatever else, can become your prison after a while. The identity that you stand up for can enslave you and close you to the rest of the world (Prison Quotes)
Not to sound cynical, but all you ever learn in prison is how to be a better criminal (Prison Quotes)
Prison officials have been more concerned about sparing the sensitivities of executioners and witnesses than protecting the condemned prisoner from pain. They are more concerned with appearances than with the reality (Prison Quotes)
When tradition is thought to state the way things really are, it becomes the director and judge of our lives; we are, in effect, imprisoned by it. On the other hand, tradition can be understood as a pointer to that which is beyond tradition: the sacred. Then it functions not as a prison but as a lens (Prison Quotes)
A good team is a great place to be, exciting, stimulating, supportive, successful. A bad team is horrible, a sort of human prison (Prison Quotes)
Your fears are a kind of prison that confines you within a limited range of action. The less you fear, the more power you will have and the more fully you will live (Prison Quotes)
Today I live on an island, in a house that is sad, hard, severe, that I built for myself, solitary on a sheer rock over the sea: a house that is the spectre, the secret image of prison. The image of my nostalgia. Maybe I never desired, not even then, to escape from jail. Man is not meant to live freely in freedom, but to be free inside a prison (Prison Quotes)
I miss dogs, man. I always had a family pet, always had a dog growing up. It was almost equivalent to the prison sentence, having something taken away from me for three years. I want a dog just for the sake of my kids, but also me. I miss my companions (Prison Quotes)
Being in prison for seven years was like being in an army that never drilled, never deployed, and only fought itself (Prison Quotes)
When we mourn those who die young – those who have been robbed of time – we weep for lost joys. We weep for opportunities and pleasure we ourselves have never known. We feel sure that somehow that young body would have known the yearning delight for which we searched in vain all our lives. We believe that the untried soul, trapped in its young prison, might have flown free and known the joy that we still seek (Prison Quotes)
I’ll hit anyone who’s seriously threatening my life... that’s what happened, and that’s what sent me to prison (Prison Quotes)
What is crucial to your survival as a race is not the redistribution of power and wealth within the prison but rather the destruction of the prison itself (Prison Quotes)
When thee builds a prison, thee had better build with the thought ever in thy mind that thee and thy children may occupy the cells (Prison Quotes)
You don’t see people in prison treating each other the way people do on the outside, and the reason is that if you’re rude to somebody in prison, you get killed (Prison Quotes)
