Quote by Thomas Hobbes

He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.

He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conque

Summary

They are still seen as an enemy and their resilience implies that there is still potential for resistance or opposition. The quote challenges the idea that physical restraint equates to conquest, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the underlying challenges and ongoing defiance of those who are incarcerated or oppressed.
