“Men without dignity are like clowns without an audience, pathetic and lost”
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

“The old monk looked amusedly at the young one and said, “Perhaps it is you who should tell me how it feels to carry a beautiful woman. I put the woman down back there by the river, but you are obviously still carrying her.”
Rubin Carter, Eye of the Hurricane: My Path from Darkness to Freedom

“To every human being in prison, guilty or innocent, I would say that everything depends upon attitude. The physical body is the vehicle in which we traverse life, but our attitude is our steering wheel. In prison, people find themselves at the bottom of human existence. What a prisoner must say is, OK, whatever I’ve done in life has led me to where I am today. Therefore, if I want to get out of prison and stay out, I’ve got to turn around and go back the other way.”
Rubin Carter, Eye of the Hurricane: My Path from Darkness to Freedom
