Famous quotes containing the word escape:

    Perhaps I am no one.
    True, I have a body
    and I cannot escape from it.
    I would like to fly out of my head,
    but that is out of the question.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another Hitler, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it? When one is a part of an actuality does the imagination find a release?
    Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.
    —W.R. (William Ralph)
