The wasteland that is your memory now comes under the absolute dictatorship of idols too terrible to mention. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I have been desperate to escape for so many years now, it is routine for me to try to escape. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
The other inmates stand in a long straight line, flanked by guards, and I am dragged past them. I do not respect them, because they will not run - will not try to escape. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
As long as I am nothing but a ghost of the civil dead, I can do nothing. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
One morning I woke up and was plunged into psychological shock. I had forgotten I was free. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
It's you, Jack Henry. It will always be you in every song I sing. ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
The cab moves for a moment but then I see the blurry, glowing red lights through the downpour against my face and heavy lens of tears covering my eyes. The cab's brake lights. The car has stopped, as have I-and then I see the back door open.
It's my Jack Henry.
He gets out of the cab and stands in the heavy rain looking back at me. I don't know how-because my body has turned to mush-but I'm off my knees and running toward him.
... I touch his face because I can't believe he's real. You sort of have a beard. Almost. I love it. It's sexy. ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I find it painful and angering to look in a mirror. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I can not believe you, Jack Henry!" Mum picks up her purse to smack me several good times. Hard. She's the only mother I know who would use her handbag to beat her thirty-year-old son. ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
The mind does not regulate its own condition. Mental depression, for example, is a state caused by the body ... William James described this relationship when he said we become sad because we shed tears: we do not shed tears because we are sad. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I escaped one time. In 1971 I was in the free world for six weeks. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
To illustrate: to walk ten miles in an enclosed space of ten feet is not really movement. There are not ten miles of space, only time. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
She's gonna know the rooster's in the hen house when she doesn't find me there, so we'd better hurry. ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
That is how prison is tearing me up inside. It hurts every day. Every day takes me further from my life. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
It is funny that some of must not only get our bearings but must also know all the details of the world before we venture out into it. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I've known pain my whole life, but this is a new kind for me. It isn't born of something wrong or ugly. This pain is conceived out of beauty - my love for Jack Henry McLachlan. I embrace it. I clutch it as tightly as I can with both fists because I never want to forget the love I have for him. Loving him will forever be my Beauty from Pain. ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
Every song I write from here on out will be about Jack Henry. That's how our tale will go on and on forever - through my music. He will always be every song I sing ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
Sometimes I doubt that anyone with a philosophical turn of mind is fit to judge anyone. He never comprehends the concept of guilt. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
Everyone in prison has an ideal of violence, murder. Beneath all relationships between prisoners is the ever-present fact of murder. It ultimately defines our relationship among ourselves. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
The part of me which wanders through my mind and never sees or feels actual objects, but which lives in and moves through my passions and my emotions, experiences this world as a horrible nightmare. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
When they talk of ghosts of the dead who wander in the night with things still undone in life, they approximate my subjective experience of this life. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I cannot be critical of an infant whose only possible source of nourishment can be found in the dugs of a wolf. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
Nothing is over and done with. Nothing. Not even your malice. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
There is a paradox at the core of penology, and from it derives the thousand ills and afflictions of the prison system. It is that not only the worst of the young are sent to prison, but the best - that is, the proudest, the bravest, the most daring, the most enterprising and the most undefeated of the poor. There starts the horror. - Norman Mailer's introduction to In the Belly of the Beast by Jack Henry Abbott No one knows what it's like to be the bad man. ~ Stephen Hunter
Jack Henry quotes by Stephen Hunter
The only time they appear human is when you have a knife at their throats. The instant you remove it, they fall back into animality. Obscenity. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
Imagine a thousand more such daily intrusions in your life, every hour and minute of every day, and you can grasp the source of this paranoia, this anger that could consume me at any moment if I lost control. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
When I'm forced by circumstances to be in a crowd of prisoners, it's all I can do to refrain from attack. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
I'll never forget the love I have for Jack Henry. Never. ~ Georgia Cates
Jack Henry quotes by Georgia Cates
Let the mind beware, that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious. ~ Jack Kerouac
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Kerouac
One also, in our milieu, simply didn't meet enough Americans to form an opinion. And when one did - this was in the days of crew-cuts and short-legged pants - they, too, often really did sport crew-cuts and trousers that mysteriously ended several inches short of the instep. Why was that? It obviously wasn't poverty. A colleague of my father's had a daughter who got herself married and found that an American friend she had met on holiday had offered to pay the whole cost of the nuptial feast. I forget the name of this paladin, but he had a crew-cut and amputated trouser-bottoms and a cigar stub and he came from a place called Yonkers, which seemed to me a ridiculous name to give to a suburb. (I, who had survived Crapstone… ) Anyway, once again one received a Henry Jamesian impression of brash generosity without overmuch refinement. There was a boy at my boarding school called Warren Powers Laird Myers, the son of an officer stationed at one of the many U.S. Air Force bases in Cambridgeshire. Trousers at The Leys School were uniform and regulation, but he still managed to show a bit of shin and to buzz-cut his hair. 'I am not a Yankee,' he informed me (he was from Norfolk, Virginia). 'I am a CON-federate.' From what I was then gleaning of the news from Dixie, this was unpromising. In our ranks we also had Jamie Auchincloss, a sprig of the Kennedy-Bouvier family that was then occupying the White House. His trousers managed to avoid covering his ankles also, though the fact that ~ Christopher Hitchens
Jack Henry quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Will without power is like children playing at soldiers. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. ~ Henry Ford
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Ford
Henry likes to utter his sin and be forgiven. He is sincerely sorry, he will not do it again. And in this case, perhaps he will not. The temptation to cut off your wife's head does not arise every year. ~ Hilary Mantel
Jack Henry quotes by Hilary Mantel
Life's a show,' he replied. He counted one with his middle finger, and then his face melted into exaggerated shock.
Blue shouted, 'Drop dead you bastard!'
'FINE!' Henry screamed back, with slightly more hysteria than the role required. He attempted to squeal out of the lot, stopped to take off the parking brake, and then limped out more sedately. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Jack Henry quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Americans are sick and tired of political gamesmanship. ~ Henry Waxman
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Waxman
Westerners, more than most Asians, are prone to feelings of fear, self-hatred, and unworthiness. ~ Jack Kornfield
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Kornfield
There's so much written about the Titanic, and it's hard to separate what's fact and what's fiction. My understanding is that the way the Titanic was designed, the emphasis was placed on surviving a head-on collision. ~ Henry Petroski
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Petroski
Time is given us to use in view of eternity. ~ Henry Allen Ironside
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Allen Ironside
Politicians will not put forth programs aimed at the problems of poor blacks while their turnout remains so low. ~ Henry Louis Gates
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Louis Gates
People who are coaches will be the norm. Other people won't get promoted. ~ Jack Welch
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Welch
We Built a Castle Near the Rocks,
we built it out of sand.
Our fortress was an ice-cream box
with turret, tall and grand.
Our men were twigs, our gun were straws
from which we'd sipped at lunch.
We had the best of wars ...
till someone's foot
went
CRUNCH!
[Joan Walsh Anglund] ~ Jack Prelutsky
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Prelutsky
In December ring Every day the chimes; Loud the gleemen sing In the streets their merry rhymes. Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire! ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Where there is no law, but every man does what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty. ~ Henry Martyn Robert
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Martyn Robert
in fact, vast passages from the King James Version of The Bible had been copied virtually verbatim and spread throughout, comprising almost one eighteenth of The Book of Mormon. Koplanski then went on to further question the veracity of Smith's claim that The Book of Mormon had been originally written in the 1st Century. He did this by pointing out that the near identical King James Version passages included within The Book of Mormon also contained the same italicized words that the KJV translators had inserted into the King James Version when it was completed in 1611, some 200 years before Smith discovered and translated the Gold Plates. ~ Jack L. Brody
Jack Henry quotes by Jack L. Brody
As long as we're comparing analogies," Jack added, "how about this one? A person being chased by a bear doesn't have to be able to run faster than the bear. He only has to be faster than his slowest companion. Driver picks. I'm going to catch up with the convoy, find a way to pass several of the cars, and not be last in line. ~ Donald G. Firesmith
Jack Henry quotes by Donald G. Firesmith
Burroughs is the greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift ... The net result of Naked Lunch will be to make people shudder at their own lies, will be to make them open up and be straight with one another. Swift and Rabelais and Sterne accomplished a step in that direction, and Burroughs another. ~ Jack Kerouac
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Kerouac
Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Music takes us where words cannot. ~ Henry Winkler
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Winkler
Expect the unexpected. Focus on what you can control and acknowledge what's out of your control. ~ Jack Canfield
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Canfield
Love. Jack almost choked on his lukewarm coffee. He had serious doubts such an animal truly existed. It certainly hadn't in his case. Even his brother Ty had only recently found his mate, Katy Fowler, after a ten-year separation and a near death experience. If that's what it took to have a warm body in his bed, he'd pass. ~ Jacquie Biggar
Jack Henry quotes by Jacquie Biggar
I've got about ten things to say to you right now. But at least nine of them would make me sound like a psycho."
In spite of the seriousness of the situation, I nearly smiled. "What's the tenth thing?" I asked his shirtfront.
He paused, considering it. "Never mind," he grumbled. "That one would make me sound like a psycho, too. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Jack Henry quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Energy spent to worry is a total lose. It is a down payment you've made without any return". ~ Abdulazeez Henry Musa
Jack Henry quotes by Abdulazeez Henry Musa
Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Jack Henry quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Jack could sound them out only through carousing with them over a period of weeks. Jack had long since lost interest in carousing per se, but he recalled how it was done, and could still put on a performance of carousing that looked sincere but was in fact wholly affected, shrewd, and calculating. He was helped in this by his two sons, who really meant it. ~ Neal Stephenson
Jack Henry quotes by Neal Stephenson
At daybreak, on the bleak sea-beach,
A fisherman stood aghast,
To see the form of a maiden fair,
Lashed close to a drifting mast. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We should thank God for being with us, not ask Him to be with us (this is always given!). ~ Henry Blackaby
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Blackaby
Nothing is or can be accidental with God. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
So much for a blind obedience to a blundering oracle, throwing the stones over their heads behind them, and not seeing where they fell. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Jack Henry quotes by Henry David Thoreau
An ugly woman that honors you is better than a beautiful woman that dishonors you". ~ Abdulazeez Henry Musa
Jack Henry quotes by Abdulazeez Henry Musa
He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. ~ Henry Miller
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Miller
It is possible to increase paper-money income to any amount by debasing the currency. But real income can only be increased by working harder or more efficiently, saving more, investing more, and producing more. ~ Henry Hazlitt
Jack Henry quotes by Henry Hazlitt
The main social responsibility for a company is to win. ~ Jack Welch
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Welch
It's like trying to describe what you feel when you're standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon or remembering your first love or the birth of your child. You have to be there to really know what it's like. ~ Jack Schmitt
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Schmitt
How did you find me? The heartstone? he says.
I look into his eyes. His silver moonlight eyes. The still calmwater heart of him.
I don't need no stone to find you. I'd find you anywhere, I says. ~ Moira Young
Jack Henry quotes by Moira Young
Life's too short for chess. ~ Henry James Byron
Jack Henry quotes by Henry James Byron
My eyes were glued on life, and they were full of tears. ~ Jack Kerouac
Jack Henry quotes by Jack Kerouac
I've refused roles because they're too simplistic. ~ Henry Czerny
