Famous quotes containing the words jail and/or life:

    Let me tell you something. Nobody goes to jail unless they want to. Unless they make themselves get caught. They don’t have things organized.
    Nicholas Pileggi, U.S. screenwriter, and Martin Scorsese. Henry Hill (Ray Liotta)

    When it’s over I don’t want to wonder
    if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
    I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
    or full of argument.
    I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
    Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
