• Uno de mis miedos infantiles había sido preguntarme cómo se sentiría una ballena si hubiera nacido y se hubiera criado en cautividad, y luego hubiera sido liberada en la naturaleza -en su mar ancestral-, su mundo limitado explotando instantáneamente al ser arrojada a profundidades desconocidas, viendo peces extraños y saboreando nuevas aguas, sin tener siquiera un concepto de profundidad, sin conocer el lenguaje de las manadas de ballenas que pudiera encontrar. Era mi miedo a un mundo que se expandiera de repente, violentamente y sin reglas ni leyes: burbujas y algas y tormentas y volúmenes aterradores de azul oscuro que nunca se acaban.

  Douglas Coupland

• Tanto la poesía como la filosofía son pródigas en elogios sobre la mente que se rescata a sí misma por su propia energía de un cautiverio a la costumbre, que rompe los límites comunes del imperio, y corta un Simplón sobre montañas de dificultad para sus propios propósitos, ya sean de bien o de mal.

• What is our hope but the indwelling Spirit of Christ, to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, to inspire every word and deed by His love? Then will "broken lights" blend in steady shining, the fractional be summed up in the integral, and life, unified and beautified by the central Christ, radiate God's glory, and shine with divine effulgence.

• Cuán lastimoso es reflexionar, que a pesar de que estaban tan plenamente convencidos de la benevolencia del Padre de la Humanidad, y de su distribución equitativa e imparcial de estos derechos y privilegios, que les ha conferido, que al mismo tiempo contrarrestaran sus misericordias, al detener por fraude y violencia a una parte tan numerosa de mis hermanos, bajo cautiverio gemido y cruel opresión, que al mismo tiempo fueran encontrados culpables de ese acto más criminal, que profesaban detestar en otros, con respecto a ustedes mismos...

• For men to be tied and led by authority, as it were with a kind of captivity of judgment, and though there be reason to the contrary not to listen unto it, but to follow like beasts the first in the herd, they know not, nor care not whither, this were brutish.

• Whether they really believe in their brave new world, however, is ultimately beside the point. They're building it. And in the friction-free future, jacked into paradise, we'll have the 'liberty' of living (or rather, or buying the illusion of living), through the benevolent offices of a middleman as nearly omnipotent as god himself. Freedom? A more perfect captivity is difficult to imagine.

  Mark Slouka

• I’m not a mean person, but I have a capacity for it. I have the biting comment formed somewhere in the back of my head — like it’s in captivity. Sometimes people expect that I’m going to be tough. It’s not a bad situation. People treat you better. People are on time.

• My captivity with Dimitri. The way his mouth—so, so warm, despite his cold skin—had kissed mine. The feel of his fangs pressing into my neck and the sweet bliss that followed... He looked exactly the same too, with that chalky white pallor and red-ringed eyes that so conflicted with the soft, chin-length brown hair and otherwise gorgeous lines of his face. He even had a leather duster on.

• Americans love their captivity. There's no responsibility. When you're a captive, you don't have to make a decision about anything, though you have no Liberty. People don't want Liberty. Liberty is nothing but uncertainty. It's much easier to have someone tell you where you'll be, what you'll do and who you'll pay tomorrow than to worry about it yourself. The same goes for what you think

  Eustace Mullins
