Famous quotes containing the words state, prison and/or facilities:

    “To educate the wise man, the State exists; and with the appearance of the wise man, the State expires. The appearance of character makes the state unnecessary. The wise man is the State.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “People have passed through a very dark tunnel at the end of which there was a light of freedom. Unexpectedly they passed through the prison gates and found themselves in a square. They are now free and they don’t know where to go.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
