Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.

The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.

If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.

Self-image is the prison. Other people are the guards.

Approved attributes and their relation to face make every man his own jailer; this is a fundamental social constraint even though each man may like his cell.

Things hold your attention hostage until you give them the appropriate attention.

Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison.

As long as other people's opinions matter more than your own, you're owned by them. You're not even free.

Do you think you can purchase acceptance through conformity? Because that is not freedom. [...] That is simply adding another cell to the prison.

No matter what you do people are still going to talk about you, and if you live according to their opinions, you’ll get stuck in fear.

Study the prison you have inadvertently built around yourself.

We must keep our thought secret, and judge everything by it, while talking like the people.

If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up.

He that becomes protector of sin shall surely become its prisoner.
