Quotations regarding 'Prison'

Choose a letter: 
Until the year 1967, it was a crime, for which you could be put in prison, to make homosexual love to someone in your own house. If they came in and caught you at it, you could be put into prison. This has changed - I'm talking about England, incidentally.
Patrick Macnee, British Actor (1922-  )
History is full of people who went to prison or were burned at the stake for proclaiming their ideas. Society has always defended itself.
Naguib Mahfouz, Egyptian Novelist (1911-2006)
You utter a vow or forge a signature and you may find yourself bound for life to a monastery, a woman or prison.
Bronislaw Malinowski, Polish Scientist (1884-1942)
In my country we go to prison first and then become President.
Nelson Mandela, South African Statesman (1918-  )
Questions are a burden to others; answers are a prison for oneself.
Patrick McGoohan, American Actor (1928-2009)
In prison, inmates sometimes use Cheetos and grape juice as makeup. I wouldn't use that beauty regimen around Britney Spears - she might lick your face off!
Joel McHale, American Comedian (1971-  )
It may seem a hard task to condemn fellow creatures to long years of confinement in prison, but it is not so hard if they clearly deserve it.
Thomas Mellon, American Businesman
A Sunday school is a prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents.
H. L. Mencken, American Writer (1880-1956)
Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.
Wentworth Miller, English Actor (1972-  )
There'll be moments when I'm out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I'll remember if I were actually an inmate, I'd only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I'd be in my cell. It's kind of a downer.
Wentworth Miller, English Actor (1972-  )
I hadn't worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I've ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn't have time to be nervous - it happened so quickly.
Wentworth Miller, English Actor (1972-  )
I've never seen American Idol but I am grateful to them. That show is one of Fox's biggest moneymakers, and some of that money goes to pay for shows like Prison Break. Simon Cowell's been signing my paychecks and for that I say thanks.
Wentworth Miller, English Actor (1972-  )
When the prison doors are opened, the real dragon will fly out.
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnamese Revolutionary (1890-  )
Art led the way for me to recover. He got out of prison before me and started traveling all over the world before I did. He showed me by example that it could be done, and I'll always love him for that.
Frank Morgan, American Actor (1890-1949)
Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experence.
Jim Morrison, American Musician (1943-1971)
The four walls of paper are like a prison because every idea wants to spring out in all directions - everything is connected with everything else, sometimes more than others.
Ted Nelson, American Author
There will be no prison which can hold our movement down.
Huey Newton, American Activist (1942-1989)
Being here feels like I'm out of prison. This is the right place, the right time, the right team.
Shaquille O'Neal, American Athlete (1972-  )
I did a book signing when we were in New York the day before yesterday. A lady came through and she was just weeping, and said, 'I wish this would have been brought out sooner, my sister is in prison for suffocating her child.'
Marie Osmond, American Musician (1959-  )
By 1980, when I came out of prison, The Sun did a campaign to stop putting vice girls in prison. We've talked about it ever since and nothing has been done about it.
Cynthia Payne, British Celebrity (1932-  )
