"I see little difference between the world inside prison gates and the world outside. A million million prison walls can’t protect us, because the real dangers --- militarism, greed, economic inequality, fascism, police brutality --- lie outside, not inside, prison walls." --Philip Berrigan born on this day in 1923 (died Dec. 6, 2002).
Howard Zinn wrote: “Mr. Berrigan was one of the great Americans of our time. He believed war didn't solve anything. He went to prison again and again and again for his beliefs. I admired him for the sacrifices he made. He was an inspiration to a large number of people.”
