“Nobody wants to die!
So why do people let themselves go?
Why kill yourself off?
Stop and think, get fit and strong!
Even a good shag will burn the calories off and pump your heart!
There is no excuse - you know it!”
Charles Bronson, Solitary Fitness

“Prison and the asylums had made me worse, not better. I had truly become a hostage of my past, condemned by my reputation and my fucked-up mind.”
Charles Bronson, Bronson

“When a madman lights up, somebody has to switch him off.”
Charles Bronson, Loonyology
