We are imprisoned in life in the company of persons powerfully unlike us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
When tradition is thought to state the way things really are, it becomes the director and judge of our lives we are, in effect, imprisoned by it. On the other hand, tradition can be understood as a pointer to that which is beyond tradition: the sacred. Then it functions not as a prison but as a lens.
Marcus Borg
Image
Imprisoned in a cage of sound, even the trivial seems profound
John Betjeman
Image
Saddam Hussein is being treated the exact opposite of the way his regime treated those he imprisoned and tortured simply for expressing their opinions. And so I reject that.
Scott McClellan
Image
Dissidents are not imprisoned as in the domains of the Kremlin, in the old days. They do not have their brains blown out by elite forces armed and trained by the reigning superpower, as happens in Washington's domains - with no particular concern at home - an important fact, one of many that help us learn about ourselves, if we choose.
Noam Chomsky
Image
He is solid immovable, iron-willed. He showed me one day his killing bottle. I'm imprisoned in it. Fluttering against the glass. Because I can see through it I still think I can escape. I have hope. But it's all an illusion. A thick round wall of glass.
John Fowles

The very concept of an Iranian university is an oxymoron. There are no free and open places of learning in that repressive theocracy. Dissenters are not given tenure they are murdered, after first being tortured. Blasphemy, which is broadly defined, is punished. Gays are not only excluded from Iranian universities, but are imprisoned and killed.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The soul is content to stay imprisoned in the human body... for through the eyes all the various things of nature are represented to the soul.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
We should not live one more day ignoring the sh** that suffocates and strangles US keeping US imprisoned in our own communities.
T.I.
Image
If we bought everything on the Internet, our eyes and mouths and nostrils would probably begin to film over with a tegument - one initially tissue-thin and capable of being removed each morning, but which gradually thickened and hardened until we were imprisoned in our own tiny minds.
Will Self
Image
My thoughts, imprisoned in my secret woes, with flamy breaths do issue oft in sound.
Philip Sidney
Image
American high schools have physically imprisoned young people, stripped them of civil liberties and fed them a diet of p.c. pap.
Camille Paglia
Image
Respectability, regularity, and routine - the whole cast-iron discipline of a modern industrial society - have atrophied the artistic impulse, and imprisoned love so that it can no longer be generous and free and creative, but must be either stuffy or furtive.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Very few men imprisoned for economic crimes or even crimes of passion against the oppressor feel that they are really guilty.
George Jackson
Image
In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends, but they are imprisoned by an enchanter in these paper and leathern boxes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I don't believe in depriving myself of any food or being imprisoned by a diet.
Joely Fisher
Image
We are imprisoned in the realm of life, like a sailor on his tiny boat, on an infinite ocean.
Anna Freud
Image
Art ... is a force which blows the roof off the cave where we crouch imprisoned.
Ernest Hello
Image
I met him while I was imprisoned, I say, and my voice sounds far away even to me. I was just curious. I wouldn't judge him too harshly, says Fernando. Jeanine can be extraordinarily persuasive to those who aren't naturally suspicious. I have always been naturally suspicious. ... Yeah, I say. So have I.
Veronica Roth

Whether it's a guy living in an airport like Viktor Navorski in The Terminal, or Anvil in Toronto, or Alfred Hitchcock who's imprisoned by his success there is a common thread to all these characters. I don't know why I'm particularly drawn to it. It's been pointed out to me, and I don't understand it myself.
Sacha Gervasi
Image
Are the prisons overpopulated, or is the population over-imprisoned ?
Michel Foucault
Image
Everybody seems to be imprisoned in their own sectarian or political affiliations. They don't seem to be able to rise above these things.
Adnan Pachachi
Image
I would be prosecuted and imprisoned if I did what you did. Again, different strokes for the Clintons, look what happened they get a pass, they get to collect all the paychecks and get all the glory, and get the cash while the rest of the people are suffering or dying in Benghazi.
