We are not imprisoned by circumstances, setbacks, mistakes or staggering defeats, we are freed by our choices.
James C. Collins
Image
Those who were so long imprisoned in ice and darkness seem to find the sunlight jarring, painful. The longer I walk around with this grief inside me, the more I understand that. It’s as if sunshine is a slap in the face that says, Look, the world’s all bright and shiny! Too bad you’re not.
Karen Marie Moning
Image
It is hard to think of something as a gift when you have been tormented and imprisoned for it.
Cassandra Clare
Image
[Kay] was not at all an unpleasant person really, but clever, quick, proud, passionate and ambitious. He was one of those people who would be neither a follower nor a leader, but only an aspiring heart, impatient in the failing body which imprisoned it.
T. H. White
Image
Brutality was imprisoned in a lumious glare revealing the naked truth to the whole world
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.
Maria Montessori
Image
Love is not feeling, child, nor even the passion of lovers, which always seeks only its own gratification. It is the act of caring, of giving, the act of protecting the weak, the helpless, the imprisoned and the desperate. Love is the hand raised in defence. You cannot love and keep your hands clean.
Patricia Duncker

The West Bank is essentially imprisoned.
Noam Chomsky
Image
All through the centuries scholars and scientists have been imprisoned, tortured and burned alive for some discovery which seemed to conflict with a petty text of Scripture. Surely the immutable laws of the universe can teach more impressive and exalted lessons than the holy books of all the religions on earth.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Image
A political prisoner is someone who is out fighting for his or her people's rights and freedom and is imprisoned for that alone.
Leonard Peltier
Image
We are not perfect. What god is Examine yours. According to your mythos he was so disappointed with his initial efforts creating your race that he tried again. At least we imprisoned our mistakes. Your god permits his to roam free. At a mere few thousand years old your creation myths are far more absurd than ours.

I hadn't learned yet that everybody's locked up some way or other. That's how life is we're all imprisoned by something.
James Frey
Image
You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
Krishna Das
Image
It is bad enough to be condemned to drag around this image in which nature has imprisoned me. Why should I consent to the perpetuation of the image of this image?
Plotinus
Image
You have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and you have imprisoned yourself in it. Break the spell and be free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
Image
Imprisoned is he whose heart is imprisoned from Allâh. Captured is he who is captured by his desires.
Ibn Taymiyyah
Image
I'm definitely always drawn to the injustice of people who have been imprisoned for things they didn't do. But also lots about abortion and gay marriage. Civil issues are usually what I am drawn to.
Natalie Maines
Image
I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for.
J. K. Rowling
Image
India has millions of internally displaced people. And now, they are putting their bodies on the line and fighting back. They are being killed and imprisoned in their thousands. Theirs is a battle of the imagination, a battle for the redefinition of the meaning of civilisation, of the meaning of happiness, of the meaning of fulfilment.
Arundhati Roy
Image
[I] read Anne Frank's diary [while imprisoned] on Robben Island and derived much encouragement from it.
Nelson Mandela
Image
I am gagged and imprisoned. I can't even speak. I want to kick a football in a park with my son. Ordinary, banal life: my impossible dream.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Your religions are boring you, your philosophies are boring you, your scriptures are boring you. Thousands of years of the past are the cause of your boredom. You cannot dance - you are chained to the past, you are imprisoned in the past.
Rajneesh
Image
I had a friend, a lover. Or did I dream it? So many dreams are crowding upon me now that I can scarcely tell true from false: dreams like light imprisoned in bright mineral caves hot, heavy dreams ice-age dreams dreams like machines in the head.
