Read through the most famous quotes by topic #captivity




I couldn't go anywhere unless there was a security guard with me. That spoiled my life. It was like being in captivity. Those days are gone, and I don't ever want to see that happen to me again. Now I can wander around the streets of Los Angeles on my own. I like it that way.

And so I eat their dead things cut up on a pole, dreaming of my last flight.


Robin McKinley
