“The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.”
- John Updike (b. 1932), American author and critic: George Caldwell in “The Centaur”, 1963.
“It is not inconceivable that a man might find freedom and identity by killing his oppressor. But as a Chicagoan, I am rather skeptical about this. Murderers are not improved by murdering.”
- Saul Bellow (b. 1915), Canadian-born American Jewish writer: ‘A World Too Much With Us’, 1975.
“The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.”
- Henry Miller (1891 – 1980), American author: “Sexus”, 1949.
