Shukhov had figured it all out. If he didn't sign he'd be shot. If he signed he'd still get a chance to live. So he signed. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prison Camps quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The desert is an unpredictable place. One day you're sweating, the next you're freezing. One moment the air is damp and cloudy like when the tide is coming in, the next the entire world is orange and dusty. The desert must be a woman. ~ Dianna Skowera
Prison Camps quotes by Dianna Skowera
Churches were shut down and Stanislaw's father and three uncles had been sent to prison camps for speaking out. ~ Fannie Flagg
Prison Camps quotes by Fannie Flagg
Shukhov gazed at the ceiling in silence. Now he didn't know whether he wanted freedom or not. At first he'd longed for it. Every night he'd counted the days of his stretch - how many had passed, how many were coming. And then he'd grown bored with counting. And then it became clear that men like him wouldn't ever be allowed to return home, that they'd be exiled. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prison Camps quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why do men carry guns and build prison camps, when the nurturing earth is made for freedom? ~ Cynthia Ozick
Prison Camps quotes by Cynthia Ozick
Do you remember," Ivan sighed, "that time in the back garden at Vorkosigan House, when you'd been reading all those military histories about the Cetagandan prison camps during the invasion, and you decided we had to dig an escape tunnel? Except it was you who did all the designing, and me and Elena who did all the digging? ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
Prison Camps quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
A couple of ounces ruled your life. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prison Camps quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A moral cynicism was sapping the strength of our society, half-lies were not only condoned, but regarded as smart. Many had remained untouched by the welter of the holocaust of battle fields, mass bombings, prison camps, the blood, pain, heartbreak and death remained to tally beyond their comprehension. Ghost of Bataan Speaks ~ Abie Abraham
Prison Camps quotes by Abie Abraham
John Kerry gave the enemy for free what I and many of my comrades in North Vietnam in the prison camps took torture to avoid saying. ~ Paul Galanti
Prison Camps quotes by Paul Galanti
A message of consolation to Greek brothers in their prison camps, and to my Haitian brothers and Nicaraguan brothers and Dominican brothers and South African brothers and Spanish brothers and to my brothers in South Vietnam, all in their prison camps: You are in the free world! ~ E.L. Doctorow
Prison Camps quotes by E.L. Doctorow
People who spent the war in prison camps have written a lot of books about what a bad time they had," she said quietly, staring into the embers. "They don't know what it was like, not being in a camp. ~ Nevil Shute
Prison Camps quotes by Nevil Shute
Marshall also called upon the left-leaning Florida senator Claude Pepper to exert his influence in the case. Invoking patriotism, Marshall reminded the senator that the War Department had recently confirmed stories of American servicemen who had been tortured by the Japanese in Philippine prison camps and argued that the lynching of a fifteen-year-old boy would taint America's international reputation: "the type of material that radio Tokio [sic] is constantly on the alert for and will use effectively in attempting to offset our very legitimate protest in respect to the handling of American citizens who unfortunately are prisoners of war." Claude Pepper refused to get involved. ~ Gilbert King
Prison Camps quotes by Gilbert King
You don't have to be very bright to carry a handbarrow. So the squad leader gave such work to people who'd been in positions of authority. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prison Camps quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There are nations, where people live in captivity, fear and silence. I believe, one day from prison camps and torture cells and from exile the leaders of freedom will emerge. The world should stand with those oppressed people until the day of their freedom finally arrives. ~ Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj
Prison Camps quotes by Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj
This was the first time God had crossed my mind in over a year, and again only in my moment of absolute hopelessness. I'd done the same on the raft and in the prison camps when I'd promised God my life should he let me survive. Had I kept my promise? No. And this time, instead of promises, I had only anger and complaints and blame. But I didn't blame myself; I blamed God. Maybe he was listening, maybe not, but even if, as I sometimes suspected, God watched over me, I couldn't blame him for cutting me loose this time. ~ Louis Zamperini
Prison Camps quotes by Louis Zamperini
Ron Paul is crazy, the guardians of respectable opinion assured us. What they really meant was that Ron Paul defied traditional political categories and advanced positions outside the Clinton-to-Romney continuum. People whose minds have been formed in ideological prison camps for 12 years have learned to confine themselves within an approved range of possibilities. Tax me 35 percent or tax me 40 percent, but don't raise the possibility that taxation itself may be a moral issue rather than just a matter of numbers. Either bomb or starve that poor country, but don't tell me there might be a third option. The Fed should loosen or the Fed should tighten, but don't tell me our money supply doesn't need to be supervised by a central planner. As always, confine yourself to the three square inches of intellectual terrain the New York Times has graciously allotted to you. ~ Thomas E. Woods Jr.
Prison Camps quotes by Thomas E. Woods Jr.
That bowl of soup - it was dearer than freedom, dearer than life itself, past, present, and future. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prison Camps quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The author of the hymn 'Amazing Grace', John Newton, who once was a slave ship captain, and who became a Christian preacher and an enemy of the slave trade, once said: 'I have reason to praise [God] for my trials, for, most probably, I should have been ruined without them.' The author of The Gulag Archipelago , Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who suffered for twenty years in the hellish prison camps he describes in that book, wrote: 'Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.' This does not mean that Newton would have chosen to go through his trials, or that Solzhenitsyn in any way enjoyed the terrible suffering of his imprisonment. But it means that in retrospect they can see that God used those difficulties to bless them in the long run. ~ Eric Metaxas
Prison Camps quotes by Eric Metaxas
You put your back into the work. For unless you could manage to provide yourself with the means of warming up, you and everyone else would give out on the spot. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prison Camps quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
​Alas the day that gave me birth! Worse then my prison is the endless earth,
now I am doomed eternally to dwell,
not in purgatory, but in hell. ~ Geoffrey Chaucer
Prison Camps quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer
As a writer, you're the guy in the box. You're creating and you have these euphorias. ~ Paul T. Scheuring
Prison Camps quotes by Paul T. Scheuring
Legalized drugs would cause dislocations in the US economy - the prison industry for example and tens of billions spent annually on drug enforcement. But because the US economy is so large, this would be a minor blow, hardly as severe as the ultimate nightmare for the US economy, global peace, which would shutter its death industry commonly called the military/industrial complex. ~ Charles Bowden
Prison Camps quotes by Charles Bowden
In prison it must be made rich Library, people must educate their self there. Not to go stupid and more. ~ Deyth Banger
Prison Camps quotes by Deyth Banger
I go to various boot camps 4-5 times a week, and I try to get some Pilates in there to thin and tone. ~ Rachelle Lefevre
Prison Camps quotes by Rachelle Lefevre
I wrote a million words in the first year, and I could never have done that outside of prison. ~ Jeffrey Archer
Prison Camps quotes by Jeffrey Archer
Some people may argue that if the animals are treated humanely prior to being slaughtered, this justifies their confinement and slaughter. Is it ethical to rob beings of their freedom but give them a comfortable prison and provide them with food until they become fat enough to be slaughtered? Any way you look at it, farms are places where animals are kept in preparation to be slaughtered and ultimately eaten as food. ~ Sharon Gannon
Prison Camps quotes by Sharon Gannon
Through the half-open door in one room of the huts I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer, before taking off his prison garb, kneeling on the floor praying fervently to his God. I was most deeply moved by the way this lovable man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God. ~ H. Fischer-Hullstrung
Prison Camps quotes by H. Fischer-Hullstrung
People will think they're electing him to create more economic security. Then watch the Terror! God knows there's been enough indication that we can have tyranny in America-the fix of the southern share-croppers, the working conditions of the miners and garment-makers, and our keeping Mooney in prison so many years. But wait till Windrip shows us how to say it with machine guns! ~ Sinclair Lewis
Prison Camps quotes by Sinclair Lewis
But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed? ~ Terry Pratchett
Prison Camps quotes by Terry Pratchett
Many men on their release carry their prison about with them into the air, and hide it as a secret disgrace in their hearts, and at length, like poor poisoned things, creep into some hole and die. It is wretched that they should have to do so, and it is wrong, terribly wrong, of society that it should force them to do so. Society takes upon itself the right to inflict appalling punishment on the individual, but it also as the supreme vice of shallowness, and fails to realise what it has done. When the man's punishment is over, it leaves him to himself; that is to say, it abandons him at the very moment when its highest duty towards him begins. It is really ashamed of its own actions, and shuns those whom it has punished, as people shun a creditor whose debt they cannot pay, or one on whom they have inflicted an irreparable, an irremediable wrong. I can claim on my side that if I realise what I have suffered, society should realise what it has inflicted on me; and that there should be no bitterness or hate on either side. ~ Oscar Wilde
Prison Camps quotes by Oscar Wilde
Our past is bleak. Our future dim. But I am not reasonable. A reasonable man adjusts to his environment. And unreasonable man does not. All progress, therefore, depends on the unreasonable man. I prefer not to adjust to my environment. I refuse the prison of "I" and choose the open spaces of "we". ~ Toni Morrison
Prison Camps quotes by Toni Morrison
Some of you, we all know, are poor, find it hard to live, are sometimes, as it were, gasping for breath. I have no doubt that some of you who read this book are unable to pay for all the dinners which you have actually eaten, or for the coats and shoes which are fast wearing or are already worn out, and have come to this page to spend borrowed or stolen time, robbing your creditors of an hour. It is very evident what mean and sneaking lives many of you live, for my sight has been whetted by experience; always on the limits, trying to get into business and trying to get out of debt, a very ancient slough, called by the Latins aes alienum, another's brass, for some of their coins were made of brass; still living, and dying, and buried by this other's brass; always promising to pay, promising to pay, tomorrow, and dying today, insolvent; seeking to curry favor, to get custom, by how many modes, only not state-prison offences; lying, flattering, voting, contracting yourselves into a nutshell of civility or dilating into an atmosphere of thin and vaporous generosity, that you may persuade your neighbor to let you make his shoes, or his hat, or his coat, or his carriage, or import his groceries for him; making yourselves sick, that you may lay up something against a sick day, something to be tucked away in an old chest, or in a stocking behind the plastering, or, more safely, in the brick bank; no matter where, no matter how much or how little. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Prison Camps quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues. ~ Georges St-Pierre
Prison Camps quotes by Georges St-Pierre
I am flagrantly nuts. I can say this because I am a doctor and I know about these things. ~ Deirdre-Elizabeth Parker
Prison Camps quotes by Deirdre-Elizabeth Parker
Crime is not punished as an offense against God, but as prejudicial to society. ~ James Anthony Froude
Prison Camps quotes by James Anthony Froude
We hadn't spoken one word to each other since the death glare last night, and I couldn't help but check both of her hands for knives and shivs, hoping that if she had one, I would be able to wrestle it away from her before meeting my untimely death.
I was far too young and fun to die at the hands of my mother, and she was way too pretty to end up in prison. It would only take a matter of minutes for her to become someone's bitch, and I didn't want the responsibility for that kind of thing on my shoulders. ~ Laurel Ulen Curtis
Prison Camps quotes by Laurel Ulen Curtis
The upshot of it was, that Rosanna Spearman had been a thief, and not being of the sort that get up Companies in the City, and rob from thousands, instead of only robbing from one, the law laid hold of her, and the prison and the reformatory followed the lead of the law. ~ Wilkie Collins
Prison Camps quotes by Wilkie Collins
Are you going to play music for me?" "No. You wouldn't appreciate it." "Then why are you here?" "I like visiting people in prison. I can say whatever I want to them, and they can't do anything about it." He looked up at Kaladin, then rested his hands on his instrument, smiling. "I've come for a story." "What story?" "The one you're going to tell me." "Bah," Kaladin said, lying back down on his bench. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Prison Camps quotes by Brandon Sanderson
There are hundreds of prisons - sexual, political, cultural. But being a prisoner also gives you impetus. ~ Gerald Stern
Prison Camps quotes by Gerald Stern
You know you've lived in LA to long when what you fear most about prison is a lack of organic produce. ~ Dov Davidoff
Prison Camps quotes by Dov Davidoff
You like the comfort, don't ya?

You wanna be there... wanna and gonna aren't nigga words so far... you are very bad at judging so far all people will be in prison because of you.... No matter...>!~ ~ Deyth Banger
Prison Camps quotes by Deyth Banger
Case fell into the prison of his own flesh. ~ William Gibson
Prison Camps quotes by William Gibson
They [Federalist European Politicians] divide their time between court room, prison and debating chamber - giving a whole new meaning to the term 'conviction politician'. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Prison Camps quotes by Margaret Thatcher
The best kind of prisoner is one who doesn't even know he's in prison. ~ Pittacus Lore
Prison Camps quotes by Pittacus Lore
That's why we need to practice the presence of God: Not just to acknowledge in some philosophical way that God is present, but to rehearse, to repeat, to work and rework our knowledge that even though we don't see Him and sometimes don't feel Him, He is there. He is here. When we practice the presence of God, we train ourselves to desire His presence - to resist our temptation to flee Him. We also train ourselves to experience His presence - to resist our temptation to think that He flees us. In other words, the practice of the presence of God helps us to live between the temptations of Jonah bound for Tarshish and John bound in prison. Jonah is the prophet who wants to abandon God. John is the prophet who feels abandoned by God. ~ Mark Buchanan
Prison Camps quotes by Mark Buchanan
No one counts, Chase. No one but you and me. If you tell me you don't care about me, I'll cry but I'll get over it. that's your choice. But if you're pushing me away because guilt is your current girlfriend and you don't want to leave her, then that's bullshit. If you feel so wrong about being let out of prison, go back there. Violate your probation and get sent back in. ~ Erin Watt
Prison Camps quotes by Erin Watt
You're in a situation where you have limited education opportunities, you don't have any money, you can't get a job; what are you going to do? You're going to go back to this criminal network that you actually made while you were in prison. ~ Hill Harper
Prison Camps quotes by Hill Harper
Man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run away ... A man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons him. ~ Plato
Prison Camps quotes by Plato
If we are to grow in love, the prisons of our egoism must be unlocked. This implies suffering, constant effort and repeated choices. ~ Jean Vanier
Prison Camps quotes by Jean Vanier
Saint-Just, the contemporary of Sade, finally arrives at the justification of crime, though he starts from
very different principles. Saint-Just is, of course, the anti-Sade. If Sade's formula were "Open the prisons
or prove your virtue," then Saint-Just's would be: "Prove your virtue or go to prison." Both, however,
justify terrorism - the libertine justifies individual terrorism, the high priest of virtue State terrorism.
Absolute good and absolute evil, if the necessary logic is applied, both demand the same degree of
passion ~ Albert Camus
Prison Camps quotes by Albert Camus
Why did God make me an outcast and a stranger in mine own house? The shades of the prison-house closed round about us all: walls strait and stubborn to the whitest, but relentlessly narrow, tall, and unscalable to sons of night who must plod darkly on in resignation, or beat unavailing palms against the stone, or steadily, half hopelessly, watch the streak of blue above. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Prison Camps quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
Dachau has been my own lifelong point of no return. Between the moment when I walked through the gate of that prison, with its infamous motto, 'Arbeit Macht Frei,' and when I walked out at the end of a day that had no ordinary scale of hours, I was changed, and how I looked at the human condition, the world we live in, changed ... Years of war had taught me a great deal, but war was nothing like Dachau. Compared to Dachau, war was clean. ~ Martha Gellhorn
Prison Camps quotes by Martha Gellhorn
Mr. McCain fought in Vietnam. I think that he has enough blood of peaceful citizens on his hands. It must be impossible for him to live without these disgusting scenes anymore. Mr. McCain was captured and they kept him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years. Anyone would go nuts. ~ Vladimir Putin
Prison Camps quotes by Vladimir Putin
That missleproof glass might as well have been electrified fence and barbed wire. No one could fashion a prison so perfect, so complete, as the one the masters of humanity had created for themselves. ~ S.J. Kincaid
Prison Camps quotes by S.J. Kincaid
Most doctors are prisoners of their education and shackled by their profession. ~ Richard Diaz
Prison Camps quotes by Richard Diaz
Bengt didn't budge. "Talk to me, damn it."
"Let go!"
"And where are you planning to go, Alex?"
"Away!"
"You can't get away. You're lugging your own prison around with you and patching up any holes from inside. Brilliant tactics, really! How does it feel?"
"Safe! ~ G.B. Gordon
Prison Camps quotes by G.B. Gordon
Whoever wishes to hold the fortress of contemplation must first of all train in the camp of action. ~ Pope Gregory I
Prison Camps quotes by Pope Gregory I
It's easy to have high morals when you'd be safe naked in the middle of San Quentin Prison. ~ Ed Williams
Prison Camps quotes by Ed Williams
Yes, Cabbage: prison diplomacy. It's called offering the newcomer a very warm welcome. You can tell Mares that I made lots of friends at two in the morning on the first night and continued making friends in the back of the laundry room and if I didn't make friends there they would shove me into an industrial tumble-dryer and spin me around a few times until I was dizzy enough to make lots of friends at the same time. ~ Jonathan Dunne
Prison Camps quotes by Jonathan Dunne
If I go to prison, will you arrange conjugal visits? ~ Jenna Harte
Prison Camps quotes by Jenna Harte
Because I understand all the ways of trying to escape, how sometimes you escape one prison only to find you've built yourself a different one. ~ Gayle Forman
Prison Camps quotes by Gayle Forman
If we are to be honest with ourselves, we must admit that the "Negro" has been inviting whites, as well as civil society's junior partners, to the dance of social death for hundreds of years, but few have wanted to learn the steps. They have been, and remain today - even in the most anti-racist movements, like the prison abolition movement - invested elsewhere. This is not to say that all oppositional political desire today is pro-white, but it is usually anti-Black, meaning it will not dance with death. ~ Frank B. Wilderson III
Prison Camps quotes by Frank B. Wilderson III
He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though ... keep up with my news ... check if I'm happy ... ~ J.K. Rowling
Prison Camps quotes by J.K. Rowling
The rush I got from crime was better than that of glue, drink or hash. I loved playing cat and mouse with the local coppers. He Who Dares Wins, the SAS motto, was very applicable to my life then. ~ Stephen Richards
Prison Camps quotes by Stephen Richards
Sarsine grabbed his wrists and tugged the hands from his eyes. He looked at her, but didn't see her. He saw Kestrel's wasted face. He saw himself as a child, the night of the invasion, soldiers in his home, how he had done nothing.
Later, he'd told Sarsine when the messenger had come to see him.
No, I won't, he'd promised Roshar when the prince had listed reasons not to rescue the nameless spy from the tundra's prison.
"I was wrong," Arin said. "I should have - "
"Your should haves are gone. They belong to the god of the lost. What I want to know is what you are going to do now. ~ Marie Rutkoski
Prison Camps quotes by Marie Rutkoski
But without going to such extremes
prudence may easily involve the loss of some of the best things
in life. The worshipper of Dionysus reacts against prudence. In
intoxication, physical or spiritual, he recovers an intensity of
feeling which prudence had destroyed; he finds the world full
of delight and beauty, and his imagination is suddenly liberated
from the prison of every-day preoccupations. ~ Bertrand Russell
Prison Camps quotes by Bertrand Russell
In an unjust society the only place for a just man is prison. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Prison Camps quotes by Henry David Thoreau
