So we are being systematically trained to fear this false 'rising crime' tide. This is all part of a system to lock up more people, and impose more control and surveillance.
Jerry Brown
Image
My mouth has gone dry as sawdust. I desperately find Cinna in the crowd and lock eyes with him. I imagine the words coming from his lips. 'What's impressed you most since you arrived here?' I rack my brain for something that made me happy here. Be honest, I think. Be honest.
Suzanne Collins
Image
The war on drugs to me is absolutely phoney, its so obviously phoney, ok? It's a war against our civil rights, that's all it is. They're using it to make us afraid to go out at night, afraid of each other, so that we lock ourselves in our homes and they get suspending our rights one by one.
Bill Hicks
Image
What a fool is he who locks his door to keep out spirits, who has in his own bosom a spirit he dares not meet alone whose voice, smothered far down, and piled over with mountains of earthliness, is yet like the forewarning trumpet of doom!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Image
Time is a measure of space, just as a range-finder is a measure of space, but measuring locks us into the place we measure.
Frank Herbert
Image
Every player should take 5 minutes to themselves before practice and mentally lock into what needs to be done.
Jeff Boals

When I got the camera on the shoulder, they give me a nickname. They call me 'the tripod' because I'm kind of short and kind of strong. So if I take the camera and I lock myself, you think that you're on a crane.
Luc Besson
Image
A crafty nightrunner died of late, And found himself at Bilairy’s Gate. He stood outside and refused to knock Because he meant to pick the lock.
Lynn Flewelling
Image
Pick-a-lock, Pick-a-lock, you'll regret the day, When you took a mouse thief and locked him away, Silly cat, look at that, it's two for one, A thief and a warrior, by dawn will be gone.
Brian Jacques
Image
The typical computer network isn't like a house with windows, doors, and locks. It's more like a gauze tent encircled by a band of drunk teenagers with lit matches.
Robert David Steele
Image
Mathematics is the abstract key which turns the lock of the physical universe.
John Polkinghorne
Image
As I go musing through this mournful land Soothed by the pine-tree's solemn harmony, Thy well-loved image comes and walks by me. I seem to hold thee by the gentle hand And talk of things I dimly understand, That thy dear spirit set to mine may be As to an intricate lock the simple key.
John Barlas
Image
Fear can be good when you're walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it's not good when you have a goal and you're fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before.
Queen Latifah
Image
Had records so stellar, they had to lock their resumes in a drawer at night, so the golden light streaming from the pages wouldn't keep them awake.
Ilona Andrews
Image
Karma is often wrongly confused with the notion of a fixed destiny. It is more like an accumulation of tendencies that can lock us into particular behavior patterns, which themselves result in further accumulations of tendencies of a similar nature... But is is not necessary to be a prisoner of old karma.
Jon Kabat-Zinn

On the moon we have everything. Lettuce, and pumpkin pie and Amanita phalloides. We have cat-furred plants and horses dancing with their wings. All the locks are solid and tight, and there are no ghosts.
Shirley Jackson
Image
Do you know how to pick a lock? Not in the least, I'm afraid. I often wonder what we go to school for, said Wimsey.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Image
We need, in effect, to make the phantom 'lock-boxes' around the trust fund real.
Alan Greenspan
Image
When two friends part they should lock up one another's secrets, and interchange their keys.
Owen Feltham
Image
No one should have a key that turns a billion locks. It shouldn't exist.
Tim Cook
Image
I have this lock of hair that keeps falling across my forehead. It drives me mad.
William Boyd
Image
You never knew what to expect with Ingrid. One minute she could be sawing the locks off Pierpont's freezers the next, providing shelter for the homeless birds of Switzerland.
Cristina Garcia
Image
She doesn't give you time for questions as she locks up your arms in hers. And you follow till your sense of direction completely disappears.
Al Stewart
Image
Humans are born, small, weak and helpless. That's why we have family. And the elders of the family are the honoured guardians of our country's history. Unfortunately, in America, we, you know, lock those elders away out of view in nursing homes and go about our little lives. It's a great national shame and an irredeemable tragedy. Oh well.
