“In prison, those things withheld from and denied to the prisoner become precisely what he wants most of all.”
Eldridge Cleaver
“When a prisoner sees the door of his dungeon open he dashes for it without stopping to think where he shall get his dinner.”
George Bernard Shaw
“I've been a prisoner and lived in prison for a while; I've been a missionary in China; I've been a vampire and a priest in Poland in World War II. I guess without bragging or being too prideful about it I'm excited when I look back at these things that I've done. I've had lots of wonderful opportunities.”
Willem Dafoe
“I never saw a man who looked with such a wistful eye upon that little tent of blue which prisoners call the sky.”
Oscar Wilde
“And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.”
Bible
“The story is about an Irishman, fresh from prison, who wants to get out of the neighborhood and live somewhere nice, tropical, maybe find a nice girl. But the code of silence and loyalty to his friends forces him to stay. You can't easily walk away from that life, not without causing a lot of suspicion amongst the people you do business with. Ultimately the story is about dreams, and how sometimes they are left behind for the ones we love.”
Mike Kenney
“And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.”
