All the men in the joint raised me up, told me what to do, what was right and wrong, told me when to sit down, when to stand up, I just did whatever I was told.
The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies.
If I wanted to kill somebody, I'd take this book and beat you to death with it, and I wouldn't feel a thing.
Animals shouldn’t be hunted and nature shouldn’t be disturbed, even destroyed, to benefit the whims of mankind
These children that come at you with knives, they are your children. You taught them. I didn't teach them. I just tried to help them stand up.

How old am I? I'm as old as my mother told me. How's that?
I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.
The POLICE used to watch over the people Now they are watching the people
Most of the attorneys just want the publicity of the trial. They don't care about the man at all. If there was some kind of writ that could get me out of here tomorrow, they wouldn't bring it, because they all want to go through the whole trial and wring every last drop of publicity out of the whole thing.
