I'm constantly running away from everything. I'm running away from things on a daily basis. I run away from relationships. I run away from responsibilities. ~ Norman Reedus
Running Away quotes by Norman Reedus
It's that zombie virus thing that was on the news!" shouted a man in a Starfleet uniform. It was Next Generation command red, but he was running away from the danger, not toward it. Maybe that was how the command crew stayed alive. "They'll eat you if you stay here!" "They ~ Mira Grant
Running Away quotes by Mira Grant
The entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. ~ Terry Pratchett
Running Away quotes by Terry Pratchett
This is car theft. This is running away. This is some punk-rock New Orphans shit. This is not like any Vivian Apple I have ever been before. But this is Vivian Apple at the end of the world. ~ Katie Coyle
Running Away quotes by Katie Coyle
My wife Kimora once told me while we were watching "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that it's a vegetarian movie because the way that the woman was screaming, "Aaaahhh," and trying to run away is how every animal you eat reacted at the slaughterhouse. ~ Russell Simmons
Running Away quotes by Russell Simmons
Why don't you join us? You can be Chief in Charge of Running Away Scared and Naming Things. -Allie ~ Rebecca Espinoza
Running Away quotes by Rebecca Espinoza
That done, a second list began to sketch itself from memory. Food, water, containers, blankets...

I set three piles aside, starting with the blankets, then took what pillowcases I could find. They always made useful bags for carrying things when backpacks weren't available. One small pot for boiling, one small pan for cooking or additional self-defense. Knives, always good. One fork and a spoon for each of us. More than that, and they'd clatter inside our bags, keeping us from moving silently. No batteries. One flashlight that seemed to be working for now, even if the beam wasn't strong. The real coup would have been canned food or toilet paper, but those were truly one-in-a-million finds.

"Did you forget to tell us that you're taking us camping?" I'm all four roughing it as long as that entails air-conditioning and a nice view."

...

"Sorry," I muttered, forcing myself onto my feet. "Old habits. ~ Alexandra Bracken
Running Away quotes by Alexandra Bracken
A good friend is worth pursuing ... but why would a good friend be running away? ~ Ashleigh Brilliant
Running Away quotes by Ashleigh Brilliant
Questions from earlier circle like buzzards. Am I running away or moving forward? ~ Doug Cooper
Running Away quotes by Doug Cooper
"Pursuit of happiness" implies that we're running after happiness and happiness is running away from us. It also implies that happiness is somewhere out there, in material goods, which we have to pursue, whereas I believe that it is an illusion happiness is not out there, it is within us. ~ Satish Kumar
Running Away quotes by Satish Kumar
It's not running away if you're running toward something. ~ Nina Lane
Running Away quotes by Nina Lane
Don't be afraid of fear. Because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger; and when you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self. ~ Ed Helms
Running Away quotes by Ed Helms
Someone who begins to develop an interest in the teachings can tend to distance themselves from the reality of material things, as if the teachings were something completely apart from daily life. Often, at the bottom of all this, there is an attitude of giving up and running away from one's own problems, with the illusion that one will be able to find something that will miraculously help one to transcend all that. But the teachings are based on the principle of our actual human condition. We have a physical body with all its various limits: each day we have to eat, work, rest, and so on. This is our reality, and we can't ignore it. ~ Namkhai Norbu
Running Away quotes by Namkhai Norbu
Just run away from your problems if you want cause sometimes we need a time to think and cool down a bit before making a decision. ~ Adel Sakura
Running Away quotes by Adel Sakura
She shook her head. She had been in that exact position on a number of occasions with Clark. She knew how easy it could be to just escape with Jack when she couldn't be around Clark. As wrong as she knew it was, she hadn't been able to stop herself. She had always thought that desperation came from wanting Jack, but maybe things were different with him. Perhaps he had always done it because he enjoyed the cloak and dagger effect of hiding and running away from his life with her. ~ K.A. Linde
Running Away quotes by K.A. Linde
We were terrified to stop, stop anything, and admit that something was wrong. Activity, frenzied activity, seemed to be the thing we all felt we needed. Only Dad slowed down, and that wasn't until he was trapped in a hospital getting intravenous antibiotics. Everything would be all right, everything would be possible, anything could be salvaged or averted, as long as we all kept running around. ~ Will Schwalbe
Running Away quotes by Will Schwalbe
He didn't know why he was running away. Maybe because being close to someone took a hell of a lot more guts than being alone. ~ Linda Castillo
Running Away quotes by Linda Castillo
Luke used his thumb to wipe away her tears.
"No, Gracie. I want you in my arms. I'll hold you. I'll keep you. I'll make you forget whatever it is you're running away from."
"Don't," she took a huge breath. "I don't want to cry. I don't want you to see me cry."
"Then stay in my arms, and I'll make you smile. ~ Isobelle Cate
Running Away quotes by Isobelle Cate
In a family, you take on each other's problems and joys differently, and more intensely. The amplitude - and the undulation of the family - is different from the people you just generally bump into on the street, because you're chained together. And what happens if you break that chain? In almost every family that I know, someone has escaped, set themselves free, tried to run away - whatever what you want to call it. And often, they are made more conspicuous by their absence. ~ Mary Kay Zuravleff
Running Away quotes by Mary Kay Zuravleff
My sister is running away to get lost, but I am running away because I want to find something. And my parents love me so much that they want to help me. Yeah, Dad is a drunk and Mom is an ex-drunk, but they don't want their kids to be drunks. ~ Sherman Alexie
Running Away quotes by Sherman Alexie
If you admit your fear to yourself and to him, then maybe this time you can face it instead of running away.' Even as he spoke the words to her, they hit him in the gut. He could dole out advice. But he wasn't great at following it. He'd been running away from his past for ten years. ~ Jody Hedlund
Running Away quotes by Jody Hedlund
i am good at holding onto nothing like it's all i have and running away from something like it's the plague. i ~ K.Y. Robinson
Running Away quotes by K.Y. Robinson
We are not designed to deal with the many stress-inducing situations of the twenty-first century. For most of human history, the stressors we faced were mainly physical, like running away from wild animals. Now they are almost entirely psychological. When was the last time you were frightened by a lion? The things that cause us stress in our modern world are the ones that go inside our heads. ~ Jed Diamond
Running Away quotes by Jed Diamond
Remind yourself where you come from.

I spent the majority of my life running away from Utah, from the life I led there, from the memories I associated with those early years. It felt very someone-else-ago to me. London changed me profoundly.
When we were dancing on DWTS together, Jennifer Grey called me one night. She was having trouble with her back and wanted to see a physiotherapist. "Can you come with me?" she asked. She drove us through a residential section of Beverly Hills. We pulled into a house with a shed out back. Oddly, it didn't look like a doctor's office. There was a couch and incense burning. An Australian guy with a white beard came in : "Hey, mates." I looked at Jen and she winked at me. This was no physical therapy. She'd signed us up for some bizarre couples therapy!
The guy spoke to us for a while, then he asked Jennifer if she wouldn't mind leaving us to chat. I thought the whole thing was pretty out there, but I didn't think I could make a run for it.
"So, Derek," he said. "Tell me about your childhood." I laid it all out for him--I talked for almost two hours--and he nodded. "You can go pick him up now."
I raised an eyebrow. "Pick who up?"
The therapist smiled. "That younger boy, that self you left in Utah. You left him there while you've been on a mission moving forward so vigorously. Now you can go get him back."
I sat there, utterly stunned and speechless. It was beyond powerful and enlightening. Had I really ~ Derek Hough
Running Away quotes by Derek Hough
The man who builds, and wants wherewith to pay, Provides a home from which to run away. ~ Edward Young
Running Away quotes by Edward Young
There is no need of spurs when the horse is running away. ~ Publilius Syrus
Running Away quotes by Publilius Syrus
Courage is like a disobedient dog, once it starts running away it flies all the faster for your attempts to recall it. ~ Katherine Mansfield
Running Away quotes by Katherine Mansfield
Let us understand, once for all, that the ethical progress of society depends, not on imitating the cosmic process, still less in running away from it, but in combating it. ~ Thomas Henry Huxley
Running Away quotes by Thomas Henry Huxley
You know how I feel about you constantly running away from your problems. It's not healthy. And they always catch up to you sooner or later. ~ Monica Murphy
Running Away quotes by Monica Murphy
Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers. ~ D. A. Carson
Running Away quotes by D. A. Carson
The trip doesn't exist that can set you beyond the reach of cravings, fits of temper, or fears ... so long as you carry the sources of your troubles about with you, those troubles will continue to harass and plague you wherever you wander on land or on sea. Does it surprise you that running away doesn't do you any good? The things you're running away from are with you all the time. ~ Seneca.
Running Away quotes by Seneca.
The natural world gives us many examples of the great effectiveness of this way. The Chinese philosophy of which judo itself is an expression - Taoism - drew attention to the power of water to overcome all obstacles by its gentleness and pliability. It showed how the supple willow survives the tough pine in a snowstorm, for whereas the unyielding branches of the pine accumulate snow until they crack, the springy boughs of the willow bend under its weight, drop the snow, and jump back again. If, when swimming, you are caught in a strong current, it is fatal to resist. You must swim with it and gradually edge to the side. One who falls from a height with stiff limbs will break them, but if he relaxes like a cat he will fall safely. A building without 'give' in its structure will easily collapse in storm or earthquake, and a car without the cushioning of tires and springs will soon come apart on the road. The mind has just the same powers, for it has give and can absorb shocks like water or a cushion. But this giving way to an opposing force is not at all the same thing as running away. A body of water does not run away when you push it; it simply gives at the point of the push and encloses your hand. A shock absorber does not fall down like a bowling-pin when struck; it gives, and yet stays in the same place. To run away is the only defense of something rigid against an overwhelming force. Therefore the good shock absorber has not only 'give,' but also stability or 'weight. ~ Alan W. Watts
Running Away quotes by Alan W. Watts
See yourself reacting to threats, not by running away or evading them, but by meeting them, dealing with them, grappling with them in an aggressive intelligent manner. ~ Maxwell Maltz
Running Away quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Those who think to reach God by running away from the world, when and where do they expect to meet him? We are reaching him here in this very spot, now at this very moment. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Running Away quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
People praise virtue, but they hate it, they run away from it. It freezes you to death, and in this world you've got to keep your feet warm. ~ Denis Diderot
Running Away quotes by Denis Diderot
Aidan to Jude: What's wrong with running away if where you were didn't suit you? Doesn't it follow you're funning to something else? Something that does suit you? ~ Nora Roberts
Running Away quotes by Nora Roberts
During this long ... journey, I realised the impossibility of running away and escaping. ~ Hermann Hesse
Running Away quotes by Hermann Hesse
In war-time a man is called a hero. It doesn't make him any braver, and he runs for his life. But at least it's a hero who is running away. ~ Jean Giraudoux
Running Away quotes by Jean Giraudoux
I'm sick of running away from things. ~ Natalia Kills
Running Away quotes by Natalia Kills
The burden of Karma is heavy. All alike have heavy debts to pay. Yet none, so the Wisdom teaches, is ever faced with more than he can bear. Whether or not we can grin, we must bear it, and it is folly to attempt to run away. ~ Christmas Humphreys
Running Away quotes by Christmas Humphreys
Why is it," she asked, snuggling closer, "that I so often imagine myself running away and running free? ~ Mary Balogh
Running Away quotes by Mary Balogh
Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose. ~ Nancy Kerrigan
Running Away quotes by Nancy Kerrigan
While I was studying film at the Academy, the problems started. I wasn't a political activist directly in the time of Saddam [Hussein], because the dictator was so cruel and brutal that no one could criticize or complain. I felt futile and empty. The only solution in Iraq was to run away. ~ Hassan Blasim
Running Away quotes by Hassan Blasim
The young man rushed toward them. "Stand and fight!" he was shouting. "Is running away the Yoshioka version of the Art of War? I personally don't want to kill you, but my Drying Pole's still thirsty. The least you can do, cowards that you are, is leave your heads behind. ~ Eiji Yoshikawa
Running Away quotes by Eiji Yoshikawa
She knew, with all her heart that running away from the country's top relationship coach was as good as saying, 'there's no hope for me, ever'! ~ Diane Hall
Running Away quotes by Diane Hall
One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you're on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it's running away. ~ Mike Huckabee
Running Away quotes by Mike Huckabee
Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away. So he said to his mother, "I am running away".
"If you run away", said his mother, "I will run after you. For you are my little bunny". ~ Margaret Wise Brown
Running Away quotes by Margaret Wise Brown
The devil is afraid of us when we pray and make sacrifices. He is also afraid when we are humble and good. He is especially afraid when we love Jesus very much. He runs away when we make the Sign of the Cross. ~ Anthony Of Padua
Running Away quotes by Anthony Of Padua
There's a kind of sick security some people get out of keeping away from people with disabilities. They are running away from any situation that's not totally pure and all-American and that requires them to do any thinking. ~ Major Owens
Running Away quotes by Major Owens
So you were going to rescue the Prince! Why did you pretend to run away? To deceive the Witch?"
"Not likely! I'm a coward. Only way I can do something this frightening is to tell myself I'm not doing it! ~ Diana Wynne Jones
Running Away quotes by Diana Wynne Jones
My past doesn't matter anymore. I'm moving on. I'll just keep running, if that's what it takes. The question is: Are you moving on with me? ~ Rebekah Crane
Running Away quotes by Rebekah Crane
She snorted. "Are you seriously asking me to have a fling with you?" "Absolutely not," he said, feigning shock. "I said dinner. It was your lascivious mind that went to the bedroom."....When he met her eyes, he was stunned to see they were huge They darted once to his lips. She thought he was going to kiss her. And she wasn't running away. ~ Sarah Addison Allen
Running Away quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
A hero can be afraid, but a hero never runs away. ~ Deborah Wiles
Running Away quotes by Deborah Wiles
The boys that were running away from America because they didn't want to get involved with the Vietnam War had come to me. They would tell me how they felt. ~ Eartha Kitt
Running Away quotes by Eartha Kitt
Bracy, why do I get the feeling that it's only a matter of time before you realize that while you've thought you were running away from God, you were actually running to Him ... and that He's been holding your hand and leading you the whole way there? ~ Nicole Sager
Running Away quotes by Nicole Sager
What had I done but extend my rootlessness, the series of false starts that became more difficult to defend as I got older? I think I hoped I would feel new in a new country, but I wasn't new here, and if there was comfort in the idea that my habitual unease had a cause, that if I was ill-fitted to the place there was good reason, it was a false comfort, a way of running away from real remedy. But ~ Garth Greenwell
Running Away quotes by Garth Greenwell
The first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father. He was a wonderful cabinet-maker, and me being the eldest son, I had to take over his shop, his profession and so on and so on. I tried to escape by going to art school and then going on to industrial design and then interior design. ~ Peter Zumthor
Running Away quotes by Peter Zumthor
When we seek to escape from inner conflict and pain, we are running away from unresolved childhood trauma or original pain. Most people with serious addictive natures who are in the process of recovery have found that trauma played a huge role in escalating their addictions. It certainly did for me. ~ Christopher Dines
Running Away quotes by Christopher Dines
There's no bravery in running away, but there can be in surrender. Sometimes to surrender to someone else's chaos is the bravest thing you can do. ~ Carmen Jenner
Running Away quotes by Carmen Jenner
Derek said Andrew never went to bed before midnight. If we wanted to get him after he was sound asleep, that meant waiting until two.
To my surprise, I fell asleep, so soundly that i didn't hear the alarm on the watch Derek had given me earlier. I woke to Tori shaking me with one hand, while trying to shut off the alarm with the other.
I yawned and blinked hard.
"Running away after you've barley slept in a week isn't a great idea," she said. "Luckily, I anticipated this."
She popped open a can of coke and handed it to me.
"Not as good as coffee," she said. "But I bet you don't drink coffee do you?"
I shook my head as I gulped.
"Kids," she said, rolling her eyes. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Running Away quotes by Kelley Armstrong
All Ash had ever wanted was to be at home and surrounded by his family. Now, under the judgmental gaze of a hundred Lynburns, with a sneering Lynburn voice in his ear, he started thinking about the merits of running away and changing his name. "Ash Smith" had a certain ring to it. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Running Away quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
The sheep stampeded away because sheep are smart enough not to trust anyone for anything, especially not people who sleep in and crawl out of sheds, and I couldn't disagree with those sheep because I would run away from me, too, if I was a sheep and not me and even if I was me, I'd still like, some mornings, to be the thing running far from me instead of sewn inside myself forever. ~ Catherine Lacey
Running Away quotes by Catherine Lacey
I am running away but I prefer to call it a strategic retreat. ~ Tennessee Williams
Running Away quotes by Tennessee Williams
I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor's door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go. ~ Edward McKendree Bounds
Running Away quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
The Beat thing happened when I was younger. I used to run away from home, inspired by the Beats, like in '64 and '65. ~ Tom Verlaine
Running Away quotes by Tom Verlaine
No matter how much you regret it, nothing will go back to the way it was before. If you die, you'll just be getting off easy. So much for atoning - all it would amount to is running away. ~ Akira From Togainu No Chi
Running Away quotes by Akira From Togainu No Chi
Running away was hardly a romantic pursuit. Except when one was running to Gretna Green. ~ Gail Carriger
Running Away quotes by Gail Carriger
... and tell him how I felt - how I really felt - and see if he might want to give it another chance. Even if he said no, at least I would have tried. At least I would have tried to be as honest as I could be. Because right now I was just running away when things got too real. ~ Morgan Matson
Running Away quotes by Morgan Matson
(Because Jonah's real story is the one never told: never was he as stupendously happy as during those three days and three nights of eternity. He was granted an experience that women dream of: he lived when he was mature in the adored whale's belly. In real paradise. How does one get there? By disobedience. By passion. Running away.) ~ Helene Cixous
Running Away quotes by Helene Cixous
Do not run away, it is cowardice. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Running Away quotes by Swami Vivekananda
*The difference between living and existing!

Running for the life, running away from the Life! ~ Bharath Mamidoju
Running Away quotes by Bharath Mamidoju
I grabed one of his hands that was hanging loosely at his side.I took a little bit of work to pry the fat silver ring off his finger, but when I had it free I held it up between the two of us and looked him dead in the eye. He was watching me caustiously, but didn't ask me what I was doing. Do you love me Jet? Dispite it all. Do you love me? Aden I'm here of course I love you. I love you before, I love you after, and I'll love you for everything in between. Had we not been in a grungy motel room in Kentucky,there was a good chance I would have gotten down on one kneeto make the moment more dramatic, to prove to him just how serious I was about not running away anymore but a girl had to have standards. I grad his left hand and put a kiss in his left palm. Jet Keller I love you and there is no future for me without you in it. I'm never going to bed with a man that isn't you again. I don't care if you're a rock star or a a car salesman.I just want there to be a you and me forever. Will you marry me? ~ Jay Crownover
Running Away quotes by Jay Crownover
The fly ought to be used as the symbol of impertinence and audacity; for whilst all other animals shun man more than anything else, and run away even before he comes near them, the fly lights upon his very nose. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Running Away quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
IT happened. There is no avoiding it, no forgetting. No running away, or flying, or burying, or hiding. ~ Laurie Halse Anderson
Running Away quotes by Laurie Halse Anderson
I took to the Kingswood the midsummer after the Dame died. I did not swear a vow, but I kept to myself just as strictly, living like a beast in the forest from one midsummer to the next, without fire or iron or the taste of meat. I lived as prey, and I learned from the dogs how to run, from the hare how to hide in the bracken, and from the deer how to go hungry.
In sorrow and pride I exiled myself to Kingswood. I shunned fire for I feared the kingsmen would hunt me down, and so by the way of cold and hunger I came near to refusing life itself. I never thought to anger or please a god by it. ~ Sarah Micklem
Running Away quotes by Sarah Micklem
Tara. I'm a vampire," Pearl said.
"Yeah, whatever, and I'm queen of the sea."
"Your Marine Majesty, I'm a vampire," Pearl said.
Concentrating, she slid her fangs out. "Tara. Tara!" She curled back her lips to expose the points. "See"
Tara screamed.
"I won't hurt you," Pearl said. Calm down. Sheesh."
Tara continued to scream.
Pearl considered biting her merely to shut her up. Regrettably that would be counter productive. Studying her nails, she waited for Tara to quit screaming. She noticed that Tara didn't try to exit the car, which was an interesting choice.
"You aren't running away," Pearl said.
"Duh, it's raining outside," Tara said. ~ Sarah Beth Durst
Running Away quotes by Sarah Beth Durst
You can't run away from your fears. Isn't that what you always tell your readers?"
I was an advice columnist for Vibe, a magazine about relationships and sex and urban culture. My column, called "Ask Miss Independent," had started at a student-run publication, and I had quickly developed a following. Upon graduating, I'd taken Miss Independent to Vibe, and they offered me a weekly feature. Most of my advice was posted publicly, but I also sent private paid-for replies to those who requested it. To supplement my income, I also did occasional freelancing for women's magazines.
"I'm not running away from my fears," I told Dane. "I'm running away from my relatives."
Ring.
"Just pick it up, Ella. You always tell people to face their problems."
"Yes, but I prefer to ignore mine and let them fester. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Running Away quotes by Lisa Kleypas
But I did it! That's the thing - I did it! What will my father say when he hears I murdered a man? Lorna, I see what I did. I murdered myself, too! I've been running around in circles. Now I'm smashed! ~ Clifford Odets
Running Away quotes by Clifford Odets
Of one slave Carter wrote, "dismembering will reclaim him.… I have cured many a Negro of running away by this means." This horrible practice, legalized in 1705, evidently became widespread, with much resultant butchery; it received further legal blessing in the tightening of the slave laws in 1723, when the Virginia Assembly absolved owners and surgeons of manslaughter if such "dismembering" resulted in the slave's death. The lawmakers assumed that no sane man would deliberately destroy his own very valuable property. It is hideous to imagine that doctors would participate in such medical atrocities, but they did. ~ Henry Wiencek
Running Away quotes by Henry Wiencek
At sixty one, I was at the top of my professional career, a wife, mother, and grandmother with many wonderful friends--and absolutely terrified....I was unaware of living as multiple identifies, but did spend my life running away from a 'me' I could neither understand nor tolerate....The first step to becoming one whole person happened to me the day in therapy when I became aware of the three adults who had been living in separate compartments in my brain. I saw them and they saw each other....A perfect three-point landing. ~ Janyne McConnaughey
Running Away quotes by Janyne McConnaughey
I feel like running away
I'm still so far from home
You say that I'll never change
But what the fuck do you know? ~ Five Finger Death Punch
Running Away quotes by Five Finger Death Punch
Running away from fear is fear; fighting pain is pain; trying to be brave is being scared ~ Alan Watts
Running Away quotes by Alan Watts
The gospel does in truth proclaim the redemption of reason. Obscurantism is always evil, and wilful error is always sin., All truth is God's truth; facts, as such, are sacred, and nothing is more un-Christian than to run away from them. ~ J.I. Packer
Running Away quotes by J.I. Packer
One realizes that even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour's household, and, underneath, another – secret and passionate and intense – which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him. One realizes that human relationships are the tragic necessity of human life; that they can never be wholly satisfactory, that every ego is half the time greedily seeking them, and half the time pulling away from them. In those simple relationships of loving husband and wife, affectionate sisters, children and grandmother, there are innumerable shades of sweetness and anguish which make up the pattern of our lives day by day . . . ~ Willa Cather
Running Away quotes by Willa Cather
The wood nymph instructors left me in the dust. They told me not to worry about it. They'd had centuries of practice running away from lovesick gods. But still, it was a little humiliating to be slower than a tree. ~ Rick Riordan
Running Away quotes by Rick Riordan
My nonviolence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving the dear ones unprotected. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Running Away quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
This was especially true in some millennialist sects that filled their literature with paintings of Armageddon. Pictures of terrified people running away from some formless fiery doom that burned their world down behind them, while smug worshipers - of the correct religion, of course - watched from safety as God got with the smiting. ~ James S.A. Corey
Running Away quotes by James S.A. Corey
Brynn began to turn away, but he grabbed her by the arms. "Ah. Ah. No running away. I asked you a question, I expect an answer. How have I played with you? There's no doubt in my mind that I'd remember doing such and I guarantee you would. ~ Madison Thorne Grey
Running Away quotes by Madison Thorne Grey
Rosa!" Sally says. "The police are here to help you, not to hear a lecture on comparative murder rates. ~ Justine Larbalestier
Running Away quotes by Justine Larbalestier
There is only this now. It does not come from anywhere; it is not going anywhere. It is not permanent, but it is not impermanent. Though moving, it is always still. When we try to catch it, it seems to run away, and yet it is always here and there is no escape from it. And when we turn around to find the self which knows this moment, we find that it has vanished like the past. ~ Alan W. Watts
Running Away quotes by Alan W. Watts
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Running Away quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
If you run away from trouble, it always follows.'
Rather my impression, too. Though that never stopped me trying. ~ Tanith Lee
Running Away quotes by Tanith Lee
During that year by the railroad embankment, at the time of my father's complete disaster, distance meant for us not only some faraway lyrical splendor but also the exceedingly utilitarian idea of running away, the deliverance from fear and hunger. ~ Danilo Kis
Running Away quotes by Danilo Kis
Sorry, I thought I saw a guilt trip looming up,' said Clements. 'I had a Catholic upbringing - spent a week in a monastery once. My mother – a devout woman all her days, God bless her – thought it would do me good to be exposed to truly good people who had denied themselves everything to follow God.' Clements snorted and turned to look out of the car window.

'I take it, it didn't work?'

'I don't think there was a single one of them – apart from maybe a little Irishman, who had never known anything else - who wasn't on some kind of guilt trip. They hadn't given up anything at all: they were running away from things; hiding; the lot of them; and mainly from their real selves. Show me a monk and I'll show you one screwed-up individual with a past. ~ Ken McClure
Running Away quotes by Ken McClure
Life equals running and when we stop running maybe that's how we'll know life is finally finished. ~ Patrick Ness
Running Away quotes by Patrick Ness
I watched my beautiful sister running ... and I knew she was not running away from me or toward me. Like someone who has survived a gut-shot, the wound had been closing, closing - braiding into a scar for eight long years. ~ Alice Sebold
Running Away quotes by Alice Sebold
Some of us ran so far away, during a period of survival, that we forgot to come back home to ourselves. Return home to yourself. You are safe now. ~ Lalah Delia
Running Away quotes by Lalah Delia
I've always been a fan of [Mary Elizabeth Winstead's]. She gets to do some fun action-y stuff she brings this gritty swashbuckle to. I think there's a lot of movies that have women in peril running away from the scarier things and then end up being saved by a man, so it's great to see this character MacGyver her way out of situations, whether physically MacGyvering away, or mentally MacGyvering a way out of something. I relate to her more than I relate to most leading men in movies. ~ Dan Trachtenberg
Running Away quotes by Dan Trachtenberg
He knew nothing about werewolves but what was in the movies. He hadn't even believed they existed until he was attacked. The tall dude, though, knew.
Joshua managed to force his body to make a left-hand turn at the corner, and again once he was across the street, and then a third time. He came looping past the Kitchen Kitsch where the tall dude was standing in the hole in the wall.
"You're really conflicted about this running away part, aren't you?" the dude said as Joshua dashed past him.
"Yes!" He tried to put on the brakes but his body kept running. He could smell his own blood on the man and his body wanted nothing to do with that.
The dude wasn't standing in the hole as Joshua came looping back toward the Kitchen Kitsch a second time. Joshua was afraid he'd lost the man. He was so focused on the opposite side of the street that he nearly ran into the glass door that opened out in front of him. A hand caught him, jerking him into the building. ~ Wen Spencer
Running Away quotes by Wen Spencer
In life, as in war, there are many ways to stay alive. But not all of them are right and honourable. The difficult part is not to stay alive but to live in the right way. We spend our lives running away from death or other frightful things like unemployment. But we should remember that there are faster runners than either death or destitution that can catch us much more quickly, especially if we cannot see them, such as wickedness and lack of integrity. I am leaving you today having lost my job, but wickedness also leaves here today empty-handed; it did not catch me because truth, honesty, and goodness chased them away. I am happy to report that my spine and moral fibre are all intact. I consider this result acceptable and if not just, just enough. ~ Aviezer Tucker
