“Hope. It is the most important thing in the world. I believe that now more than ever. Hope is what saved my
life, hope is what gave me the courage and the strength
to carry on. Hope – that unshakeable, golden belief that

― Alexander Gordon Smith, Execution

“When you're scared - and I mean really scared, not just hearing a noise in the night, or standing toe to toe with someone twice your size who wants to pound you into the earth - it feels as if you're being injected with darkness.

It leaves you with nothing.”
― Alexander Gordon Smith, Solitary
