"I care not how humble your bookshelf may be, or how lonely the room which it adorns. Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left all that is vulgar and all that is sordid behind you. There stand your noble, silent comrades, waiting in their ranks. Pass your eye down their files. Choose your man. And then you have but to hold up your hand to him and away you go together into dreamland."

Arthur Conan Doyle, British Writer

"There was never sufficient evidence presented at my trial to support a finding of intent to kill."

Support

"Paranoia is an illness I contracted in institutions. It is not the reason for my sentences to reform school and prison. It is the effect, not the cause."

Cause

"When I'm forced by circumstances to be in a crowd of prisoners, it's all I can do to refrain from attack."

Circumstance

"The other inmates stand in a long straight line, flanked by guards, and I am dragged past them. I do not respect them, because they will not run - will not try to escape."

Past

"To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there."

Memory

"Because there is something helpless and weak and innocent - something like an infant - deep inside us all that really suffers in ways we would never permit an insect to suffer."

Innocence

"That is how prison is tearing me up inside. It hurts every day. Every day takes me further from my life."
