"The part of me which wanders through my mind and never sees or feels actual objects, but which lives in and moves through my passions and my emotions, experiences this world as a horrible nightmare."

Emotional

"My eyes, my brain seek out escape routes wherever I am sent."

Escape

Imprisonment

"I escaped one time. In 1971 I was in the free world for six weeks."
