Laughter is Humanity's mechanism to escape suffering.
Deepak Chopra
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.
Edgar Allan Poe
Life is a vexatious trap; when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Running away from any problem only increases the distance from the solution. The easiest way to escape from the problem is to solve it.
Unknown
Anyone whose needs are small seems threatening to the rich, because he's always ready to escape their control.
Nicolas Chamfort
We cannot avoid using power, cannot escape the compulsion to afflict the world so let us, cautious in diction and mighty in contradiction, love powerfully.
Martin Buber
Man can certainly keep on lying (and he does so); but he cannot make truth falsehood. He can certainly rebel (he does so); but he can accomplish nothing which abolishes the choice of God. He can certainly flee from God (he does so) ; but he cannot escape Him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God (he does and is so) ; but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in His hate. He can certainly give himself to isolation (he does so he thinks, wills and behaves godlessly, and is godless) ; but even in his isolation he must demonstrate that which he wishes to controvert the impossibility of playing the "individual" over against God. He may let go of God, but God does not let go of him.
Karl Barth
That it is better that 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer, is a maxim that has been long and generally approved.
Benjamin Franklin
Pilgrimage to the place of the wise is to escape the flame of separation from Nature.
Old Sufi saying
Hiding places there are innumerable, escape is only one, but possibilities of escape, again, are as many as hiding places.
Franz Kafka
Many of us who walk to and fro upon our usual tasks are prisoners drawing mental maps of escape.
Loren Eiseley
I would define a book as a work of magic whence escape, all kinds of images to trouble the souls and change the hearts of men.
Anatole France
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition
Graham Greene
Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.
Ayn Rand
