When you have a chain around your neck, you have to keep your head down and try to accept your fate without succumbing entirely to humiliation, without forgetting who you are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're going to hold someone down you're going to have to hold on by the other end of the chain. You are confined by your own repression.
Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.
I was in chains all the time, 24 hours a day, for three years. I tried to wear those chains with dignity, even if I felt that it was unbearable.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.
It seems that every time I stick my neck out, I get my foot into something else.
A lot of people live in fear because they haven't figured out how you're going to react when faced with a certain set of circumstances. I've come to terms with this by looking deeply into whatever makes me fearful - what are the key elements that get the hairs up on the back of my neck - and then figuring out what I can do about it.
You break your neck, you don't know what's going to happen. I mean, it's foreign. You're in this body that you thought you were - that you were accustomed to, and now you're not. You have to figure out everything. I think the biggest thing for me was getting a license, because it gives you - it gives you your independence back.
You have within you many strong and cruel enemies to overcome. You must know that there are still a thousand ties which you must break. No one can tell you what they are; only you can tell by looking at yourself and into your heart.
Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind.
