Quoting Albert Cossery, La Violence et la Dérision, p. 114, 1964

He played the game of honor and dishonor, just as he was taught to do. He’d never escape. He was more a prisoner than a prisoner in a cell because he shared the same myths as his adversary; they grow and grow and surround everything like unbreachable walls.
