prison

Our hearts are all prison walls when we hold people captive with chains of unforgiveness.

It's time to get healed. It's time to confess. Falling for the bait doesn't make you the worst person in the world. You were snared. You were hooked. But you don't have to stay that way. Now is the time to deal with the shackles that keep you enslaved. Today you can leave the prison that sexual immorality has created from your past mistakes. Hear your Father's voice call out to you above the noisy clamor of our culture. He says, "I love you. You're free to go now. Sexual sin has no hold on you.

The world we are is a secret prison and the secret prison is power.

My head is a prison I__e been locked in from the start,So if I'm treated like a criminal I might as well play the part.(attrib: E. Tancarville)

Don__ sanctuaries become prisons, and vice versa, foremost in the mind?

We__e not broken. We__e not in the wrong bodies. We__e not inadequate. We__e not lesser. We__e not unwanted. We__e not fraudulent. We__e not undesirable. That__ all just a set of lies we tell to soothe the experience of the prisons we put ourselves in.

Being open is happiness and being closed is sadness. So free your mind from the prison of binding ideas and thoughts.

Mental ghettos are not mirages; they actually exist in palpable reality: being "open" inside one's mental or intellectual ghetto does not open its door but simply allows one to harbour the illusion that there is no ghetto and no door. The most dangerous prisons are those with invisible bars.

Free your mind from the prison of your past. Time has allowed you to grow and develop into the person you're meant to be. Now, you are living a purposed filled life.

I am not a prisoner to be locked up in people's ideologies, I am not a criminal to be locked up in your mind, I am a free spirit and I make no apologies for it

Mom hadn't met Ramon; her advocacy was more arm's length - petitions, the website, letter writing, meetings with politicians. Her friend Hanna had formed a close friendship with Ramon though, visiting him as often as she could. Hanna told me that Ramon's greatest regret was that he wouldn't get to see his daughter grow up.And Jeremy's dad, who had that opportunity, was just throwing it away.It made me furious, and I couldn't let it go.

A prisoner should know that there are thousands of imprisoned freemen living in this world_jailed in their own society, handcuffed by duties..

Prison is designed to separate, isolate, and alienate you from everyone and everything. You're not allowed to do so much as touch your spouse, your parents, your children. The system does everything within its power to sever any physical or emotional links you have to anyone in the outside world. They want your children to grow up without ever knowing you.They want your spouse to forget your face and start a new life. They want you to sit alone, grieving, in a concrete box, unable even to say your last farewell at a parent's funeral.

(From Danielle Raver's short story THE ENCHANTRESS)Thick chains attached to the wall hold a metal collar and belt, restraining most of the tiger's movements. Open, bloody slashes cover his face and back, but he shows no loss of strength as he pulls on the chains and tries to rip the flesh of the surrounding humans with his deadly claws. Out of his reach, I kneel down before him, and his lightning-blue eyes cross my space for a moment. __et her out of there!_ I hear from behind me.__umnerai,_ I speak urgently to the tiger. __hey will kill you!_ He growls and gnashes his teeth, but I sense he is responding to me. __reat white tiger, your duty is to protect the prince. But how can you do that if they sink the end of a spear into your heart?_ He looks at me for a longer moment. The fighters respond to this by growing still. In their desperation, they are overlooking my foolishness for a chance to save their fellows' lives. I crouch on my feet and begin to nudge closer to him. The tiger growls a warning, but does not slash out at me. __hink of the prince, protector of the palace. Right now he prays for you to live.

Being a copper I like to see the law win. I'd like to see the flashy well-dressed mugs like Eddie Mars spoiling their manicures in the rock quarry at Folsom, alongside of the poor little slum-bred guys that got knocked over on their first caper amd never had a break since. That's what I'd like. You and me both lived too long to think I'm likely to see it happen. Not in this town, not in any town half this size, in any part of this wide, green and beautiful U.S.A. We just don't run our country that way.

The loss of liberty may imprison a person, but it does not confine their mind.

I am flagrantly nuts. I can say this because I am a doctor and I know about these things.
