State Prison

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or prison:

    When we seek reconciliation with our enemies, it is commonly out of a desire to better our own condition, a being harassed and tired out with a state of war, and a fear of some ill accident which we are willing to prevent.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    each prison crypt,
    of canyoned traffic . . . Confronting the Exchange,
    Surviving in a world of stocks,—
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
