They ask themselves: "What will he do?" "How will he react?" "Will he go mad?" "Will he bite?" "Will he be armed?" They're pumped up with fear. Adrenaline pumping, fingers tense on the trigger, brains racing. And I'm cool as a cat! The name 'Charles Bronson' causes panic! The name 'Mickey Peterson' causes stress! The police all love to arrest me, as I'm the most exciting madman they will ever arrest! It's a fact. So here I am years later, and I'm still the madman. There is no escaping my past. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
What kind of man would I have been if I had not been there to help her? I felt along with her - not the physical pain, of course, but all her mental anguish. You can't be detached. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
There are different categories of madmen, and different types of asylums! I know absolutely nothing about the asylums that house the madman who thinks he is a space man. Would you believe that 90% of madmen are treated in outside clinics? ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
My first western was 'Death Hunt' with Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin; that was where I learned to ride. The movie was based on a true story about a guy that eluded the Mounties in Canada. We were in Canada for six weeks riding horses. ~ William Sanderson
Charles Bronson quotes by William Sanderson
There is no end. There is no cure. It gets worse with time. Cure. How can you cure an institution, we are bricks crumbling in the walls of despair. Death is inevitable for us all. But the insanity is here to stay. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Nowadays I just don't care; I've taken the Frank Zappa stance. I am who I am! Some love me, some loathe me, some respect me and some despise me. But after all that's been, I still love the insane! As they're exciting, dangerous and highly explosive! For me mad dogs are gentlemen. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Audiences like to see the bad guys get their comeuppance. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
You can grow up being a troublemaker and then before you know it the next thing you're doing is listening to Frank Zappa whilst chilling out ... now that's the intelligent way out. What would a psychiatrist say about that? ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
His Charles Bronson-like demeanour together with his Clint Eastwood stare and his John Wayne swagger, created from a diet of westerns and Eighties TV mixed with a lifetime of planning, organising, managing, and leading, were now gelled together with the battle-hardened soldier he had become. ~ Connor Fitzgerald
Charles Bronson quotes by Connor Fitzgerald
Westerns were all daddy liked to watch. Give me some Clint Eastwood, some Charles Bronson, and I was a happy girl. It was our father-daughter bonding. ~ Melissa Marr
Charles Bronson quotes by Melissa Marr
I went through a period where I couldn't keep off the establishment's roofs, it was a serious urge I had. To look at a drainpipe and start shaking with excitement, nobody knows the feeling of hitting a prison roof, not unless you've done it. Let me tell you, it's like a lotto win - it's power. You're the governor; it's a kick in the teeth to the system. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
He was a silent type, very nervy of people: shy, introverted, nobody would believe he could scream so loud ... well he did drink a bottle of bleach! ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Suicides - you read of it ... but you don't know the truth, if you were to see it you would go insane! Cut throats, cut wrists, hangings, suffocating, eyes bulging and tongues protruding, more shit. Suicides always shit themselves, did you know that! Life's final shit, the final act of madness; smell that you rats! Clean me up you pigs, zip me up in the bag you scum and get me out of here ... Get me the fuck out of here ... get me out! ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Madness is a bowl of poison cherries, chew them and die, but you die screaming in agony. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Ask anybody, would you want an ex-madman living next door? It's difficult enough being an ex-convict. It's double hard for us 'madmen'. Please believe it. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Madness is forever! We even smell different, our hearts don't beat, they tick, our eyes are different, we don't just see, we also pick up vibes. We are probably dehumanised and way past our 'sell by' date, totally unusable, bitter as lemons. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
The fear really hits you. That's what you feel first. And then it's the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
It's almost as if Bronson, Ginsberg and Bowie craved the freedom of letting go, of pushing their mind aside and allowing the vampires and demons and all the other freaks to run them so that they could slip away elsewhere ~ Karl Wiggins
Charles Bronson quotes by Karl Wiggins
Broadmoor creeps into your blood, the walls touch the sky and the grounds suck you in, they've even got their own burial ground. We called it the 'madman's hole', it smelt of fear; a stillness and even the birds seemed to have a stone face like their eyes were made of marble. So many monsters, men of hell, I don't know how a sane man can keep sane in there. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
I wouldn't tell Jill how I felt. I behaved in such a way that was opposite to how I felt. I must have seemed strong to her. I didn't want to bring her down. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
Unlike most I don't fear prison, never have, never will. Obviously I don't want it, I hate it, but it's the hate that drives me on to survive. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
A madman overcomes it by adapting to his surroundings. You can't give up. Why die? There is always another mission; it's the missions that keep you alive. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
So what causes men to become violent? I'll tell you, boredom, silly rules, muggy screws and pathetic governors. What else can we do - swallow it, wipe our mouths out. You have to fight for your rights. Not sit back and take it. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
She sat in a secluded room, she was mad, but she could not accept it; so she was neither sane nor insane. She could not be either until she knew herself, so in limbo she must die. She kept stuffing toilet roll into her mouth. They found her choked to death! ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
Insanity is a very lonely and empty existence - it's painfully true. They may laugh and smile, and skip and dance, but behind all the faces there is hollowness like a bottomless pit. The living dead, depression is a terrible illness, so is psychosis, the mentally inflicted beyond cure. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
He got a lovely pair of trainers given off his mum for Christmas, best pair he ever had, but it was the nylon laces that he couldn't take his eyes off. They found him hanging in his cell! ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
I felt along with her - not the physical pain, of course, but all her mental anguish. You can't be detached. She needed to have someone who understood what was happening in her mind. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
I don't look like someone who leans on a mantelpiece with a cocktail in my hand, you know. ~ Charles Bronson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bronson
I think my mom is the inspiration of me wanting to do film and TV and be an actor because she loved film so much. She loved, like, horror films and action films, so growing up, she loved watching all the Charles Bronson films and all the westerns. ~ Rick Gonzalez
Charles Bronson quotes by Rick Gonzalez
Mad people are very emotionally orientated! They have complex feelings, they're easily upset, but are also easy to please! Most mad people have lonely lives, as nobody understands them. So they become "Lost Souls." They dream a lot. Go within their minds to search - some will turn strange, become dangerous. So a madman is created! His world becomes a mission. ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
I personally could never come to terms with my label of 'Criminally Insane'. Just because of my violent outbursts in prison, don't mean to say I'm mad. Obviously I had become a disruptive element within the penal system. Uncontrollable! Unpredictable! But that don't make insanity! ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
Prison madness is much the same! Insanity is plentiful in prisons. These days with the drug culture it's not a lot of difference, as a lot of convicts make themselves psychotic and paranoid. Many end up killers, all over petty and minor problems. Where men would once squabble, fight and kill over a ½ oz of bacca they now do the same over a gram of white powder or a bag of brown! ~ Stephen Richards
Charles Bronson quotes by Stephen Richards
I'm in so many Charles Bronson films because no other actress will work with him. ~ Jill Ireland
Charles Bronson quotes by Jill Ireland
I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond. ~ Nicolas Cage
Charles Bronson quotes by Nicolas Cage
I cherish genuine conversation, where people actually care what someone else has to say. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles F. Glassman
The essence of life, I concluded, did not lie in the material. It penetrated, but was not bound to, the physical world of science. ~ Charles Lindbergh
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Lindbergh
All the reasons which require the subjection of a believer to the brethren of a particular church, require his subjection to all his brethren in the Lord. ~ Charles Hodge
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Hodge
This child-like spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven," and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed be Thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
For as the devil bitterly hates this leaf and the word of God, so does he also those who teach and hear it, and he persecutes such, aided by all the powers of the world. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
We should be treating, I think, the whole issue of climate change and global warming with a far greater degree of priority than I think is happening now. ~ Prince Charles
Charles Bronson quotes by Prince Charles
I'm hungry," she said. "Let me cook!" "I'm hungry too. I'll eat you! ~ Charles Bukowski
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bukowski
What such people miscall their religion, is a vent for their bad humours and arrogance. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
Posthumous fame is a plant of tardy growth, for our body must be the seed of it; or we may liken it to a torch, which nothing but the last spark of life can light up; or we may compare it to the trumpet of the archangel, for it is blown over the dead; but unlike that awful blast, it is of earth, not of heaven, and can neither rouse nor raise us. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
I'm going to open another vottle. not a vottle, but a bottle. you open it and I'll drink it. and you try to write as much as I did without falling off of your chair. ~ Charles Bukowski
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bukowski
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
There is a sense in which I am pretty sure this makes no sense. I don't know where this is going. I don't know how it ends. ~ Charles Yu
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Yu
It's not personal; it's professional: only professional. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
I don't know of a soul who packed more living into 72 years than Charles Lindbergh did. ~ A. Scott Berg
Charles Bronson quotes by A. Scott Berg
There is no university for a Christian, like that of sorrow and trial ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Spurgeon
When we surrender to His timing, He does mighty things in and for us, according to His will and His timing. God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. ~ Charles Stanley
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Stanley
Don't worry me now, Fagin!' replied the girl, raising her head languidly. 'If Bill has not done it this time, he will another. He has done many a good job for you, and will do many more when he can; and when he can't, he won't, so no more about that. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
The door is locked then, my friend?" said Mr. Lorry, surprised. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
Life is a theatre of alarms and contentions. ~ Charles Horton Cooley
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Horton Cooley
Love was made on these occasions in the form of bracelets; ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
the fire burns up.' So they stood before the fire, waiting: Clennam with his arm about her waist, and the fire shining, ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
Some reputed saints that have been canonized ought to have been cannonaded. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Whenever Mr. Snagsby and his conductors are stationary, the crowd flows round, and from its squalid depths obsequious advice heaves up to Mr. Bucket. Whenever they move, and the angry bull's-eyes glare, it fades away and flits about them up the alleys, and in the ruins, and behind the walls, as before. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
In seasons of pestilence, some of us will have a secret attraction to the disease
a terrible passing inclination to die of it. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
The toughest habits to break are the ones we take with us from childhood. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles F. Glassman
Look at Charlie Brown's face. Would you please hold still a minute Charlie Brown? I want Linus to study your face. Now this is what you call a failure face, Linus. Notice how it has failure written all over it. Study it carefully Linus. You rarely see such a good example. Notice the deep lines, the dull vacant look in the eyes. Yes, I would say this is one of the finest examples of a failure face that your liable to see for a long while. ~ Charles M. Schulz
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles M. Schulz
Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death. ~ Charles De Montesquieu
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles De Montesquieu
Life is just too short to spend it tearing things down. The question that we all need to ask ourselves is: what do we want to build? ~ Charles Kowalski
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Kowalski
It is this, at its most basic, that makes science a humane pursuit; it acknowledges the commonality of people's experience. ~ John Charles Polanyi
Charles Bronson quotes by John Charles Polanyi
Those that will not permit their wealth to do any good for others ... cut themselves off from the truest pleasure here and the highest happiness later. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
We are to groan for glorification, but we are to wait patiently for it, knowing that what the Lord appoints is best. Waiting implies being ready. We are to stand at the door expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to himself. This "groaning" is a test. You may judge of a man by what he groans after. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
It is always easy for those living in the present to feel superior to those who lived in the past. ~ Charles C. Mann
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles C. Mann
The cheerful Sabbath bells, wherever heard, Strike pleasant on the sense, most like the voice Of one, who from the far-off hills proclaims Tidings of good to Zion. ~ Charles Lamb
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Lamb
And the color in my eyes
has gone back into the sea. ~ Charles Bukowski
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bukowski
When preaching and private talk are not available, you need to have a tract ready.Get good striking tracts, or none at all. But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Dear child of God, if after great mercy you are laid very low, your case is not an unusual one. When David had mounted the throne of Israel, he said, "I am this day weak, though anointed king." You must expect to feel weakest when you are enjoying your greatest triumph. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
No space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me. ~ Charles Manson
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Manson
Yet for all that I have had more joy than any of them, they were positive and depressed, and I am negative and happy. ~ Charles Bukowski
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Bukowski
In Darwin's time no serious attempt had been made to examine the manifestations of variability. A vast assemblage of miscellaneous facts could formerly be adduced as seemingly comparable illustrations of the phenomenon "Variation." Time has shown this mass of evidence to be capable of analysis. When first promulgated it produced the impression that variability was a phenomenon generally distributed amongst living things in such a way that the specific divisions must be arbitrary. When this variability is sorted out, and is seen to be in part a result of hybridisation, in part a consequence of the persistence of hybrids by parthenogenetic reproduction, a polymorphism due to the continued presence of individuals representing various combinations of Mendelian allelomorphs, partly also the transient effect of alteration in external circumstances, we see how cautious we must be in drawing inferences as to the indefiniteness of specific limits from a bare knowledge that intermediates exist. ~ William Bateson
Charles Bronson quotes by William Bateson
The anvil breaks a legion of hammers - by quietly bearing their blows. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
What I mean - and I ought to know if any one does! - is that while most countries give, others take away. Egypt changes you. No one can live here and remain exactly what he was before."
This puzzled me. It startled, too, again. His manner was so earnest. "And Egypt, you mean, is one of the countries that take away?" I asked. The strange idea unsettled my thoughts a little.
"First takes away from you," he replied, "but in the end takes you away. Some lands enrich you," he went on, seeing that I listened, "while others impoverish. From India, Greece, Italy, all ancient lands, you return with memories you can use. From Egypt you return with - nothing. Its splendour stupefies; it's useless. There is a change in your inmost being, an emptiness, an unaccountable yearning, but you find nothing that can fill the lack you're conscious of. Nothing comes to replace what has gone. You have been drained.'
I stared; but I nodded a general acquiescence. Of a sensitive, artistic temperament this was certainly true, though by no means the superficial and generally accepted verdict. The majority imagine that Egypt has filled them to the brim. I took his deeper reading of the facts. I was aware of an odd fascination in his idea.
"Modern Egypt," he continued, "is, after all, but a trick of civilisation," and there was a kind of breathlessness in his measured tone, "but ancient Egypt lies waiting, hiding, underneath. Though dead, she is amazingly alive. And you feel her ~ Charles Robert Maturin
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Robert Maturin
It's a bad job," he said, when I had done; "but the sun sets every day, and people die every minute, and we mustn't be scared by the common lot. If we failed to hold our own, because that equal foot at all men's doors was heard knocking somewhere, every object in this world would slip from us. No! Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race! ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Dickens
Faith is a kind of winged intellect. The great workmen of history have been men who believed like giants. ~ Charles Henry Parkhurst
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Henry Parkhurst
The Divine Thing that made itself the foundation of the Church does not seem, to judge by his comments on the religious leadership of his day, to have hoped much from officers of a church. ~ Charles Williams
Charles Bronson quotes by Charles Williams
Charles' conversation was as flat as a street pavement, on which everybody's ideas trudged past, in their workaday dress, provoking no emotion, no laughter, no dreams. ~ Gustave Flaubert
Charles Bronson quotes by Gustave Flaubert
Mrs. Boffin, insisting that Bella should make tomorrow's expedition in the chariot, she went home in great grandeur. Mrs. Wilfer and Miss Lavinia had speculated much on the probabilities and improbabilities of her coming in this gorgeous state, and, on beholding the chariot from the window at which they were secreted to look out for it, agreed that it must be detained at the door as long as possible, for the mortification and confusion of the neighbours. ~ Charles Dickens
