State Prison

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or prison:

    We are at heart so profoundly anarchistic that the only form of state we can imagine living in is Utopian; and so cynical that the only Utopia we can believe in is authoritarian.
    Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    All too soon these feet must hide
    In the prison cells of pride,
    Lose the freedom of the sod,
    Like a colt’s for work be shod,
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
