“If I maintain my silence about my secret it is my prisoner...if I let it slip from my tongue, I am ITS prisoner.”
“Although I am able to walk about freely, I am a prisoner in my skin.”
“I account this body nothing but a close prison to my soul; and the earth a larger prison to my body. I may not break prison till I be loosed by death; but I will leave it, not unwillingly,when I am loosed. ”
“I am happy in my prison of passion”
“Silence, always my fortress, sometimes my prison”
“My life is a discipline, a prison: I live for my own work, without which I am nothing.”
