Very few men imprisoned for economic crimes or even crimes of passion against the oppressor feel that they are really guilty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I come from the liberal side of thinking: Better one guilty man should walk free than one innocent man found guilty.
Not all political prisoners are innocents.
Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence.
When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, it's merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy.
Everybody seems to be imprisoned in their own sectarian or political affiliations. They don't seem to be able to rise above these things.
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No; if it were men wouldn't be ashamed of it. It is a blunder, though, and is punished as such. A poor man is despised the whole world over.
