Sometimes they [people] throw off their freedom so quickly, you'd think it was burning them.
Read quote
-
The moment seemed endless, but it was probably only half that.
Read quote
-
Regrets came up and asked me if I'd like to own them. Declined them for the most part but took a few just so I wouldn't leave this relationship empty handed.
Read quote
-
Sometimes not talking is effortless, and other times it's more exhausting than lifting pianos.
Read quote
-
It's always something here - if there isn't a riot, then someone's usually trying to escape. The wasted effort helps me see the positives of imprisonment. Unlike those pulling their hair out in good society, here we don't have to feel ashamed of our day-to-day unhappiness. Here we have someone visible to blame - someone wearing shiny boots. That's why, on consideration, freedom leaves me cold. Because out there in the real world, freedom means you have to admit authorship, even when your story turns out to be a real stinker.
