Quotations regarding 'Prison'

Choose a letter: 
When I first went to prison, I was even questioning where, God, where are you?
Jim Bakker, American Celebrity (1939-  )
Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.
Beck, American Musician (1970-  )
The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were shot on the way to prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who 'disappeared'. That's what the candle is for.
Peter Benenson, British Lawyer (1921-2005)
I think of my brother just out of prison again. He will have spent ten years of the last 30 in prison.
Daniel Berrigan, American Clergyman (1921-  )
There is no peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.
Daniel Berrigan, American Clergyman (1921-  )
We have one of our priests in prison right now, Steve Kelly, for his antiwar actions, and three of us in the community are forbidden to visit him because we're all convicted felons.
Daniel Berrigan, American Clergyman (1921-  )
I had a weird situation were someone used my name to extort money from a woman. He took her for 60 or 80 thousand dollars. He is in prison now. It was on Sally.
Michael Biehn, American Actor (1956-  )
I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way.
Juliette Binoche, French Actress (1964-  )
They were being driven to a prison, through no fault of their own, in all probability for life. In comparison, how much easier it would be to walk to the gallows than to this tomb of living horrors!
Nellie Bly, American Journalist (1864-1922)
If it is a crime to love the South, its cause and its President, then I am a criminal. I would rather lie down in this prison and die than leave it owing allegiance to a government such as yours.
Belle Boyd, American Celebrity (1844-1900)
It doesn't help to fight crime to put people in prison who are innocent.
Stephen Breyer, American Judge (1938-  )
I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.
James Brown, American Musician (1920-2006)
There are many more serial killers living outside the prison walls than inside.
Pat Brown, American Entertainer
They're not supposed to show prison films in prison. Especially ones that are about escaping.
Steve Buscemi, American Actor (1957-  )
With Animal Factory you'd think that because it's mostly interiors, you could shoot it anywhere. So we shot this in Philadelphia, and we had the cooperation of the prison system.
Steve Buscemi, American Actor (1957-  )
The once all-powerful ruler of Iraq was found in a hole, and now sits in a prison cell.
George W. Bush, American President (1946-  )
America is the land of the second chance - and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.
George W. Bush, American President (1946-  )
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
Winston Churchill, English Statesman (1874-1965)
In prison, those things withheld from and denied to the prisoner become precisely what he wants most of all.
Eldridge Cleaver, American Activist (1935-1998)
Money will determine whether the accused goes to prison or walks out of the courtroom a free man.
Johnnie Cochran, American Lawyer (1937-2005)
