“A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages.”
Tennessee Williams, Stairs to the Roof

Hajime Isayama
“On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the Titans and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls.”
Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan, Vol. 1

“[Marriage] happens as with cages: the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair of getting out.”
Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

“Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in the cage.”

Susan Griffin
“In the cage is the lion. She paces with her memories. Her body is a record of her past. As she moves back and forth, one may see it all: the lean frame, the muscular legs, the paw enclosing long sharp claws, the astonishing speed of her response. She was born in this garden. She has never in her life stretched those legs. Never darted farther than twenty yards at a time. Only once did she use her claws. Only once did she feel them sink into flesh. And it was her keeper's flesh. Her keeper whom she loves, who feeds her, who would never dream of harming her, who protects her. Who in his mercy forgave her mad attack, saying this was in her nature, to be cruel at a whim, to try to kill what she loves. He had come into her cage as he usually did early in the morning to change her water, always at the same time of day, in the same manner, speaking softly to her, careful to make no sudden movement, keeping his distance, when suddenly she sank down, deep down into herself, the way wild animals do before they spring, and then she had risen on all her strong legs, and swiped him in one long, powerful, graceful movement across the arm. How lucky for her he survived the blow. The keeper and his friends shot her with a gun to make her sleep. Through her half-open lids she knew they made movements around her. They fed her with tubes. They observed her. They wrote comments in notebooks. And finally they rendered a judgment. She was normal. She was a normal wild beast, whose power is dangerous, whose anger can kill, they had said. Be more careful of her, they advised. Allow her less excitement. Perhaps let her exercise more. She understood none of this. She understood only the look of fear in her keeper's eyes. And now she paces. Paces as if she were angry, as if she were on the edge of frenzy. The spectators imagine she is going through the movements of the hunt, or that she is readying her body for survival. But she knows no life outside the garden. She has no notion of anger over what she could have been, or might be. No idea of rebellion.

It is only her body that knows of these things, moving her, daily, hourly, back and forth, back and forth, before the bars of her cage.”
Susan Griffin, Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her

Mumia Abu-Jamal
“Prison is a second-by-second assault on the soul, a day-to-day degradation of the self, an oppressive steel and brick umbrella that transforms seconds into hours and hours into days.”
Mumia Abu-Jamal

Terry Pratchett
“You can鈥榯 go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it鈥榮 just a cage.”
Terry Pratchett , Witches Abroad

Scarlett Thomas
“Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free. . . . It's a dangerous world out there, filled with predators. . . . What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom.”
Scarlett Thomas, Going Out

Leviak B. Kelly
“Freedom and wildness, that which we were born into, is a grand mystery and miracle that creates a openness reserved not for barring us in but for keeping us out of cages. It is our ability to find the truth that has been a survival tool for our species both individually and corporately.”
Leviak B. Kelly, Religion: The Ultimate STD: Living a Spiritual Life without Dogmatics or Cultural Destruction

“Just because we have birds inside us, we don't have to be cages.”
Dean Young, Fall Higher

Angela Carter
“Her voice is filled with distant sonorities, like reverberations in a cave: now you are at the place of annihilation, now you are at the place of annihilation. And she is herself a cave full of echoes, she is a system of repetitions, she is a closed circuit.' Can a bird sing only the song it knows or can it learn a new song?' She draws her long, sharp fingernail across the bars of the cage in which her pet lark sings, striking a plangent twang like that of the plucked heartstrings of a woman of metal. Her hair falls down like tears.”
Angela Carter, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories

“A cage stokes our emotions and imaginations, regardless of whether you are inside looking out, or outside looking in.”
Michael Makai, Domination & Submission: The BDSM Relationship Handbook

Pushpa Rana
“Wild rejoice in jungles not in cages.”
Pushpa Rana, Just the Way I Feel

Pushpa Rana
“Sanity is to the mind, insanity is for the heart,
Docility is to the mind, wildness is to the heart,
Tamable is the mind, Untamable is the heart,
Freedom is to the mind, cages are for the heart.”
Pushpa Rana, Just the Way I Feel

Dave McKean
“And then a strange thing happened. Out of the diseased and deteriorated pool os tired thoughts came life. A simple and poisoned life, but a life nonetheless. Death cultivated tis bacteria with love and attention. It thived in its stifling, hopeless world, sapping Death os all its energy, but Death didn't notice, for all its attention went on the fracturing, multiplying, fragmentary creations inside it.
And when the virus had eaten every fleck of Death, it lived on in Death's dry sarcophagus.

Life implied by Death.”
Dave McKean, Cages

Adam Levin
“Most people, Gurion, most people do not violate boundaries, do not defy governance, and most of them come out intact, whereas very few of those who act lawlessly do. And that is why school is so much about following rules. You are here, above all else, to learn to live lawfully for the rest of your life. You are here to learn how to exist in cages without acting as if they are cages, to live like mensches despite being locked in cages. You are here to learn to survive in the world. That is the most basic purpose of our educational system, and it is a high purpose.”
Adam Levin, The Instructions

Mehmet Murat ildan
“Those ignoramuses who think that birds are happy in their cages know not a single thing about freedom!”

Steven Magee
“I have never heard of an electromagnetically hypersensitive person recovering from the condition using shielding and Faraday cages, they just seem to become social lepers due to their increasing reactivity to the city environment and addicts to their shielded environment.”
Steven Magee, Curing Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity

Y奴 Miri
“The crimes of children reproduce themselves, closing their victims in cages built of nightmares.”
Miri Y奴

Laura Chouette
“To set free my ideas聽
while the world was still building a cage
was the biggest mistake I've ever made.”
Laura Chouette

Steven Magee
“People feeling the need to live inside of Faraday cages is a sad reflection on modern society that humans are devolving into living inside of safe spaces.”
Steven Magee

Steven Magee
“I am not a fan of sealed up sterile homes or Faraday cages and their use in human health, although I do understand that some people do feel relief in these environments.”
Steven Magee

“You create within your mind your own cages that confine you.”
Steven Redhead, Life's Impressions

C. JoyBell C.
“You can fly around the world and dine in a new city every day but still be in a cage. You may stay at home every day, writing poetry in the corners of your walls but be truly free, wild and untamed! The cages聽we occupy cannot be seen. When your mind is free, you are free.”
C. JoyBell C.

Steven Magee
“Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) is a fascinating medical condition! People who have it become allergic to modern society. They start living in Faraday cages, withdraw from society and many go and live in the forest where they feel better. It is a severely disabling condition.”
Steven Magee, Magee鈥檚 Disease

Jenny Noble Anderson
“With your weathered
feathers,

sunken breast and
chipped beak, you
can exit now.

Spread the wire
with your wings
and sing

the sweet melody
that still wriggles in
your throat,

as you soar out
the window that
was always there.”
Jenny Noble Anderson, But Still She Flies: Poems and Paintings
