“It wasn’t the first time he’d run for his life. And it most likely would
not be the last. In the past few decades, though, he’d mostly run from
angry fathers who’d found him where they felt he should not be. Or he’d
run from town guards—sent by angry fathers who’d found him where they
felt he should not be.”
― G.A. Aiken, What a Dragon Should Know

“The difficulty does not lie in finding new ideas, but in escaping the long outdated belief in old ones.”
― Jeffrey Fry

“. . . This
is not the same river at my fingertips.
There are no paths, no sunken roads
familiar in the forest, by which we can
retrace our steps,
by which we can escape
by which we can reclaim and return,
or hear the child’s song running in the timothy . . .”
― John Daniel Thieme, paulinskill hours and other poems

“Ishbel read maps like storybooks. She was getting off the island, and no one was going to stop her. That was all just romance, just fairytales, because anyone can leave the island. Since they built the bridge, leaving should be as easy as sticking your keys in the car ignition. But leaving is never easy.”
― Kirsty Logan, The Rental Heart and Other Fairytales

“Sometimes, to escape a bad relationship and reclaim our lives, we have to break a piece of our heart off, like a wolf chews its leg off to escape a steel trap.”

― Waheed Ibne Musa, Johnny Fracture

“My borrowed power insists that negative situations, too, assist me on the path to greater becoming. It's never about the circumstance(s); these are surface level 'symptomatics'. How we deal with the energy it brings, however, is telling of how we choose to respond. There's no escaping Earth-School lessons. Embrace that it's still about your development, and not the illusion of fear's representative attempting to lead you astray. Be conscious and see free.”
― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence

“I keep quiet and look out the window. The light is weak and watery-looking, like the sun hast just spilled itself over the horizon and is too lazy to clean itself up. The shadows are as sharp and pointed as needles. I watch three black crows take off simultaneausly from a telephone wire and wish I could take off too, move up, up, up, and watch the ground drop away from me the way it does when you're on an airplane, folding and compressing into itself like an origami figure, until everything is flat and brightly colored - until the world is like a drawing of itself”
― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

“She had forced herself to learn to read �� picked up bits and pieces, here and there, from the very few teachers who had been patient with her; from looking at words while out and about; from television, and from friends. And to avoid the shouting and drug-induced moaning, and the row of male visitors her mum would entertain, she would barricade herself in her room �� there'd been no lock �� and lose herself in books.”
― Dianna Hardy, Broken Lights

“Ikviens bēg, citādi nevar, manu Karali. Arī es bēgu, tikai laikam uz citu pusi.”

“Comfort is not a goal that I seek, rather it is a place that I hide.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The things you escape have the ability to catch you, one or other day! Stop running away! Meet them and defeat them!”
