Quotes about Prisoner

"He had drawn many a thousand of these rations in prisons and camps, and though he'd never had an opportunity to weight them on scales, and although, being a man of timid nature, he knew no way of standing up for his rights, he, like every other prisoner, had discovered long ago that honest weight was never to be found in the bread-cutting. There was short weight in every ration. The only point was how short. So every day you took a look to soothe your soul - today, maybe, they haven't snitched any."

Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

Who am  I to go on about philosophical matters? I am just another prisoner of my own experiences after a working life-time. A mere product of the system.
