Quotes with Jail

  • I do not believe that any man fears to be dead, but only the stroke of death. And it is easy to imagine that this stroke may be without pain. Why then should we fear to die? Long life or short life, the same death awaits us. The man who fears death is not afraid of the stroke of death, but he is afraid of the interval between life and death - in other words, of life itself. So it is not the sight of death itself that is terrible, but rather the fear of it. This is why we are so afraid of hanging and of the jail cell. - Seneca
  • The only way to deal with fear is to face it head-on. If you're afraid of being in jail or being homeless, then you have to go out and volunteer at a homeless shelter or go to a jail and visit the inmates. That's the only way you're going to get over it. - Ice T
  • I have never been to jail. I have never been arrested. I have never been in a situation where I have had to be bailed out of jail. - Henry Louis Gates
  • Man, I'm not in the mood for this today. I'm in jail, I've been shot, and I'm hungry. My stomach is eating itself, and I haven't had a decent meal in weeks. - Walter Dean Myers
