“The same technology transforming our lives can solve the greatest problem of the 20th century. A security shield can one day render nuclear weapons obsolete and free mankind from the prison of nuclear terror. America met one historic challenge and went to the Moon. Now America must meet another: to make our strategic defense real for all the citizens of planet Earth.” RealProblemEarthAmericaChallengesTechnologyOur LivesMankindCenturySecurityPlanetsCitizensMetsOne DayMoonWeaponsPrisonTerrorSolveDefenseNuclearNuclear Weapons20th CenturyHistoricTransformingShieldsStrategicObsoletePlanet Earth Book:Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Ronald Reagan, 1986 Source: Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Ronald Reagan, 1986
“As a result of the prison study, I really became more aware of the central role of power in our lives. I became more aware of the power I have as a teacher. I started consciously doing things to minimize the negative use of power in the classroom. I encouraged students to challenge me.” UseChallengesResultsRolesStudyTeacherOur LivesStudentsNegativePrisonClassroomUse Of Power Author:Philip Zimbardo

“Ninety percent of what most yoga teachers do is teach asana practice. While asana discharges stress and so forth, it was never intended to be a standalone practice. The true intent of yoga is personal transformation. What we get out of the privilege of teaching prisoners is the opportunity to focus on our own personal development. You can be of service, and, while helping others transform their lives, you have the deeper opportunity to transform your own. What we teach in prison is how we live our lives.” HelpingOpportunityTeachPracticeFocusTeacherOur LivesTeachingDevelopmentPercentYogaStressTransformationPrisonPrivilegeDeeperPersonal DevelopmentHelping OthersPrisonerNinetyAsanaDischargePersonal TransformationYoga Teachers Author:James Fox
“Narration is as much a part of human nature as breath and the circulation of the blood.... storytelling is intrinsic to biological time, which we cannot escape. Life, Pascal said, is like living in a prison from which every day fellow prisoners are taken away to be executed. We are all, like Scheherazade, under sentence of death, and we all think of our lives as narratives, with beginnings, middles and ends.” ThinkingHumansSaidEndsTakenOur LivesBloodHuman NatureBreathsFellowsPrisonSentencesStorytellingNarrativePrisonerCirculationNarrationPascal Author:A.

“Also, this is our lives for a huge part of the year and we did not want to be in prison, 24/7. It was too oppressive. So, we were like, "How can we get out? Let's see their lives, a little bit." That was really fun.” WantYearsLittlesFunBitsOur LivesHugeLittle BitPrison Author:Jenji Kohan
“Humanity is at a fork in the road and we can no longer stand there staring at the map pondering which direction to take. It is hardly a choice, after all. One Road leads to a global fascist dictatorship that would control every aspect of our lives, including our thoughts. The other will open the door to freedom and potential on a scale never experienced in the 'world' as we have known it. Hard one, isn't it? A choice between a prison and a paradise?” WorldHardHumanityChoicesKnownOur LivesDoorsAspectPrisonIncludingScalesStaringParadiseMapsDictatorshipOur ThoughtsPonderingFascistsForksFork In The Road Author:David Icke
