State Prison

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or prison:

“A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

“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)
