Prison/history

Famous quotes containing the words prison and/or history:

    You ain’t got much, Stroud, but you keep subtracting from it.
    Guy Trosper, U.S. screenwriter, and John Frankenheimer. Kramer, a prison guard (Crahan Denton)

    There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
