Prisoner Quotes

I am a prisoner of a gaudy and unlivable present, where all forms of human society have reached an extreme of their cycle and there is no imagining what new forms they may assume Picture Quote #1

As long as you hate your enemy, a jail door is closed and a prisoner is taken. But when you try to understand and release your foe from your hatred, then the prisoner is released and that prisoner is you Picture Quote #1

Personal lyricism is the outcry of prisoner to prisoner from the cell in solitary where each is confined for the duration of his life Picture Quote #1

The son will run away from the family not at eighteen but at twelve, emancipated by his gluttonous precocity; he will fly not to seek heroic adventures, not to deliver a beautiful prisoner from a tower, not to immortalize a garret with sublime thoughts, but to found a business, to enrich himself and to compete with his infamous papa Picture Quote #1

Love fills everything. It cannot be desired because it is an end in itself. It cannot betray because it has nothing to do with possession. It cannot be held prisoner because it is a river and will overflow its banks. Anyone who tries to imprison love will cut off the spring that feeds it, and the trapped water will grow stagnant Picture Quote #1

Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free Picture Quote #1

Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is? Picture Quote #1

See how he cowers and sneaks, how vaguely all the day he fears, not being immortal nor divine, but the slave and prisoner of his own opinion of himself, a fame won by his own deeds. Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate Picture Quote #1

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity Picture Quote #1

... she needed to confirm its presence. Like the keeper of the lighthouse and the prisoner, she regarded it as a mooring, a checkpoint, some stable visual object that assured her that the world was still there; that this was like and not a dream. That she was alive somewhere, inside, which she acknowledged to be true only because a thing she knew intimately was out there, outside of herself Picture Quote #1

People come from a certain generation and a certain whole way of looking at things, and you really do become a prisoner of your own world Picture Quote #1

It would be like the films I’ve seen where wardens would decide to be in a jail cell for a week, to get a sense of what it would be like to be a prisoner Picture Quote #1

While I was held prisoner, sweet inspiration educated me and laws were imparted to me in a speech which had no words Picture Quote #1

Prisoner, God has given you good abilities, instead of which you go about the country stealing ducks Picture Quote #1

What do you think would be my fate if my misguided countrymen were to take me prisoner? Picture Quote #1

There is a subtle difference between being a prisoner and being a slave. I don’t mistake either for being free Picture Quote #1

That there is also freedom in captivity, only a prisoner can claim. Coming from a prison guard, this statement would be blasphemy Picture Quote #1

I believe that man is the product of natural evolution that is born from the conflict of being a prisoner and separated from nature, and from the need to find unity and harmony with it Picture Quote #1

Honor? Maybe they’re letting him sleep on silk, but a prisoner is still a prisoner Picture Quote #1

Angry men are blind and foolish, for reason at such a time takes flight and, in her absence, wrath plunders all the riches of the intellect, while the judgment remains the prisoner of its own pride Picture Quote #1

That which the world miscalls a jail, a private closet is to me... Locks, bars, and solitude together met, make me no prisoner, but an anchoret Picture Quote #1

I have become a prisoner of the peace movement. But you can’t say that the termination is coming and then say that you are going back to your own garden to dig Picture Quote #1

When you release the wrongdoer from the wrong, you cut a malignant tumor out of your inner life. You set a prisoner free, but you discover that the real prisoner was yourself Picture Quote #1

There is none of my uncle’s marks upon you; he taught me how to know a man in love; in which cage of rushes I am sure you are not prisoner Picture Quote #1
