Prison Quotes (page 15)

Just suppose that the dead do revisit the living. That something approximately to be described as Jim can return to see how George is making out. Would this be at all satisfactory? Would it even be worthwhile? At best, surely, it would be like the brief visit of an observer from another country who is permitted to peep in for a moment from the vast outdoors of his freedom and see, at a distance, through glass, this figure who sits solitary at the small table in the narrow room, eating his... Christopher Isherwood
Once upon a time there were mass media, and they were wicked, of course, and there was a guilty party. Then there were the virtuous voices that accused the criminals. And Art (ah, what luck!) offered alternatives, for those who were not prisoners to the mass media. Well, it's all over. We have to start again from the beginning, asking one another what's going on. Umberto Eco
Elie Wiesel quote: "Torture is the act of making someone die a slow death, making..."
Torture is the act of making someone die a slow death, making the prisoner die several times. Elie Wiesel
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings and decided I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now: while there's a lower class I am in it, while there's a criminal element I am of it, and while there's a soul in prison I am not free. Eugene V. Debs
Look. I see it. You can go to all the movies and watch all the television you want. I am the end of all time. I'm not hooked up to the machine. I don't care about being labelled a misogynist, misanthropic hate addict. I don't give a fuck if some human organism calls me politically incorrect. I like the idea of people getting killed in parking lots. I stab every person who passes me. In my mind, I stab them in the face with a fucking knife. If I thought I could get away with it, I would skin... Henry Rollins
The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars; it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness. Andre Malraux
So what indeed! The lesson I myself learned over and over again when teaching at the college and then the prison was the uselessness of information to most people, except as entertainment. If facts weren't funny or scary, or couldn't make you rich, the heck with them. Kurt Vonnegut
It's so beautiful that it hurts me,' said Anne softly. 'Perfect things like that always did hurt me — I remember I called it "the queer ache" when I was a child. What is the reason that pain like this seems inseparable from perfection? Is it the pain of finality — when we realise that there can be nothing beyond but retrogression?' 'Perhaps,' said Owen dreamily, 'it is the prisoned infinite in us calling out to its kindred infinite as expressed in that visible perfection. L. M. Montgomery
In the name of God!" said Gurth, "how came they prisoners? and to whom?"Our master was too ready to fight," said the Jester, "and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all. Walter Scott
After...The seas have dried out. The trains have come to a shrieking holt. The hounds of the abyss cease to howl. The prisons have closed their doors. The pigs have no one to arrest except themselves. The drugs no longer have an effect. When it's all over. All I'll remember is you Henry Rollins
Nelson Mandela quote: "Only free men can negotiate, prisoners can't enter in contracts"

Her view of men was one-dimensional, but not inaccurate: men were prisoners of their genitalia and women were the keepers of the keys to paradise. Pat Conroy
They came to know the incorrigible sorrow of all prisoners and exiles, which is to live in company with a memory that serves no purpose. Albert Camus
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. Deepak Chopra
Pat Conroy quote: "When mom and dad went to war the only prisoners they took were..."
