Famous quotes containing the words prisoner and/or death:

    The prisoner is not the one who has commited a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    There is something antique, even, in his style of treating his subject, reminding us that Heroes and Demi-gods, Fates and Furies, still exist; the common man is nothing to him, but after death the hero is apotheosized and has a place in heaven, as in the religion of the Greeks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
