Running Away Quotes (page 5)

Then at once they reached and hovered upon the imminent verge of sleep - but an intruder came, now, that would not "down". It was conscience. They began to feel a vague fear that they had been doing wrong to run away; and next they thought of the stolen meat, and then the real torture came [...] So they inwardly resolved that so long as they remained in the business, their piracies should not again be sullied with the crime of stealing. Then conscience granted a truce, and these curiously... Mark Twain
Vimes struggled to his feet, shook his head and set off after it. No thought was involved. It is the ancient instinct of terriers and policemen to chase anything that runs away. Terry Prachett
How wrong to have been so negative, how wrong to have been so gloomy, how wrong to have run away from life, how wrong to have said no, again and again, instead of yes. Jonathan Franzen

Brown Penny I WHISPERED, 'I am too young,'And then, 'I am old enough'; Wherefore I threw a penny. To find out if I might love.'Go and love, go and love, young man, If the lady be young and fair.'Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, I am looped in the loops of her hair. O love is the crooked thing, There is nobody wise enough. To find out all that is in it, For he would be thinking of love. Till the stars had run away. And the shadows eaten the moon. Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, One... William Butler Yeats
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 Watts

If you run away from trouble, it always follows.'Rather my impression, too. Though that never stopped me trying. Tanith Lee
Man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run away... A man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons him. Plato
I am a king's daughter, And if I cared to care, The moon that has no mistress. Would flutter in my hair. No one dares to cherish. What I choose to crave. Never have I hungered, For that I did not have. I am a kings daughter, And I grow old within. The prison of my person, The shackles of my skin. And I would run away. And beg from door to door, Just to see your shadow. Once, and never more. Peter S. Beagle
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "you can not run away from weakness; you must fight it out......"
you can not run away from weakness; you must fight it out... or perish. Robert Louis Stevenson
True opinions are a fine thing and do all sorts of good so long as they stay in their place; but they will not stay long. They run away from a man's mind, so they are not worth much until you tether them by working out the reason. Once they are tied down, they become knowledge, and are stable. Plato
We're free Narnians, Hwin and I, and I suppose, if you're running away to Narnia you want to be one too. In that case Hwin isn't your horse any longer. One might just as well say you're her human. C. S. Lewis
A man may say, "From now on I'm going to speak the truth." But the truth hears him and runs away and hides before he's even done speaking. Saul Bellow
She told herself a story about a daughter in a family so hungry for a daughter that it would have eaten her alive if she hadn't run away. Jonathan Franzen
Shirley Bassey quote: "I'd like to run away From you, But if you didn't come. And..."
I'd like to run away From you, But if you didn't come. And find me... I would die. Shirley Bassey
