Rubin Carter Quotes

• To live in a world where truth matters and justice – however late – really happens, that world would be heaven enough for us all.
• Prison is the lowest level of human existence, without being dead. Being able to overcome that, that’s the miraculous nature of every human being. It is great, absolutely fantastic.
• [on preparations for producing ‘The Hurricane’] Denzel Washington was only an actor doing his most to sell himself for a role he wanted, but my feelings, my likeness , sitting across that table, showed me how far I had come from self-hatred to the love of self. What a wonderful experience that was.
• Hatred and bitterness and anger only consume the vessel that contains them. It doesn’t hurt another soul. If I were to allow myself to continue to feel that anger and the bitterness of being a victim, I never would have survived prison itself. Prison can deal with anger, prison can deal with hatred, because prison is about all those things.
• When I went to prison in 1966, that was it for me as far as prizefighting was concerned. I was fighting for my life, not for a prize in the ring, and not with boxing gloves and referees. I was fighting for my life in the absolute dungeon called Trenton State Prison.
• Hate made me a prisoner but love set me free.
