Escape

"All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape." - Arthur Christopher Benson

"If you think you're free, there's no escape possible." -Ram Dass

"The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds. " -John Maynard Keynes

“I NEVER hear the word “escape”
Without a quicker blood,
A sudden expectation,
A flying attitude.”
Emily Dickinson

“Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.”Victor Hugo

“You call yourself free? I want to hear your ruling thought and not that you have escaped a yoke. Are you such a one as was permitted to escape a yoke? There are some who threw away their ultimate worth when they threw away their servitude. Free from what? What is that to Zarathustra! But your eyes should announce to me brightly: free for what?” -Friedrich Nietzsche

Nice new space, Diane. And as usual, an "anthology" in its most etymologically correct sense (do you know the root of "anthos"? I discovered it within the last few years, and it made my day).
