State Prison

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or prison:

“While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
