Everyone asks me about why I care about anime and football so much, but that's because anything dark that happened in my life, those two things would make me feel better. I just used to sit in front of the TV and watch football and breathe a sigh of relief. You know what I mean? It's another world. An escape.

I gave up writing children's books. I wanted to escape from them as I had once wanted to escape from 'Punch': as I have always wanted to escape. In vain.

All the best stories 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.

I do know that I've read somewhere that it's been statistically proven that in times of war, horror films are much more popular. I don't know why that is. You'd think it'd be the opposite. You'd think people would want to escape from it.

Aaron Stanford

War Time You

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

Abraham Lincoln

Future You Tomorrow

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

I was involved with drama departments since the 5th grade. I played at it. It was an escape.

Adam Baldwin

You can't escape culture. You can learn about it. You can criticize it. You can try to move it slowly. But at the end of the day, you can't actually opt out of the culture that you're in.

Marriage is a kind of prison for anyone who's miserable in it - men and women alike - and anyone who's suffered through difficult periods in marriage dreams of escape from it.

Adam Ross

I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.

Adele

According to the Burman system, there is no escape. According to the Christian system, there is. Jesus Christ has died in the place of sinners, has borne their sins; and now those who believe on Him, and become His disciples, are released from the punishment they deserve. At death, they are received into Heaven and are happy forever.

Adoniram Judson

Pardon me if this all sounds corny, but when you put on a record, I'd like it to be an escape from everything you do.

Aesop Rock

For me personally, I think I just enjoy movies about werewolves or vampires because it's not like an everyday thing. It's something you can really escape into.

I'm a huge gamer! I love playing 'World of Warcraft.' It helps me wind down and escape reality for a few.

I don't want to go too deep, but football and 'Dragon Ball Z' were the two things that, when I was going through a hard time when I was younger, kind of gave me an escape.

Time Younger Young

I spend my life writing fiction, so reading fiction isn't much of an escape. That's not always true, but I don't read much contemporary fiction.

Alan Furst

Life Writing Ways

I am there to entertain. I call my work high escape fiction; it's high, it's good - but it's escape, and I have no delusions about that. I have no ambition to be a serious writer, whatever that means.

Alan Furst

I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.

Alber Elbaz

The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.

Albert Camus

Car World Wit

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.

Albert Schweitzer

Leaving southern Sudan as a child was terrifying. It was 1985, and my family and I were trying to escape to Khartoum, the capital in the North, to safety.

Alek Wek

Also, most people read fiction as an escape - and I wonder whether my books aren't a bit too grounded in reality to reach the widest possible audience.

Alex Berenson

I think you have to be very secure as an actor to escape yourself - to revisit someone's past, whether you're portraying another person or creating someone, and then to come back to who you are and not bring those emotions with you.

Alex Pettyfer

To portray something that you're really not, it's like a little escape, and I love to act and to be dramatic. I feel like the wrestling ring in WWE is the perfect platform to do that. It's totally acceptable.

Alexa Bliss

I love sci-fi, computer games. I love any escapes. Give me them all.

Alexander Siddig

Until I read Anne Frank's diary, I had found books a literal escape from what could be the harsh reality around me. After I read the diary, I had a fresh way of viewing the both literature and the world. From then on, I found I was impatient with books that were not honest or that were trivial and frivolous.

Alexandra Fuller

No generation has escaped it - one morning, your skill with the eight-track or the record player or the cotton gin suddenly ceases to impress. It's just one of those inevitable disappointments that come with growing up, like the realization that Santa doesn't exist or the way that music always takes a turn for the worse after you turn 30.

Alexandra Petri

Ofglen is a little different than the other Handmaids because she has a really rebellious spirit and she has the hope that she could escape.

Alexis Bledel

A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Alexis de Tocqueville

In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.

Alfred A. Montapert

I grew up on romantic comedies and love watching those films. They were, like, a real joy and a source of great pleasure and an escape.

Alice Eve

I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working.

Alice Hoffman

It was a great escape for me and it was a way to take a break from what was going on in my own world, to go into another world.

Alice Hoffman

The success or failure of a life, as far as posterity goes, seems to lie in the more or less luck of seizing the right moment of escape.

Alice James

What a sense of superiority it gives one to escape reading some book which everyone else is reading.

Alice James

I've always loved the seaside and I used to be a fairly keen surfer, but it's a solitary activity so when my husband and I had children, we bought sit-on-top kayaks. Whenever possible, we escape to the coast or explore rivers with them.

Alice Roberts

I think I'd go mad if I didn't have a place to escape to.

Alice Temperley

In a recession, people want to be told for two hours that everything is going to be OK. They want to escape from their humdrum or painful reality into a feel-good drama, or a love story that transcends their daily life.

Alison Owen

Baseball is my escape. The sights, the sounds, the way the park smells. There is truly no place I would rather be than at a game.

Alyssa Milano

I'd go to swim practice, put my face in the water, and I didn't have to talk to anybody. Swimming was like my escape, but it was also like this huge prison because I felt like I had to swim up to people's standards.

Amanda Beard

With every generation comes a new wave of hopefuls: small-town escapees, European refugees, disaffected Londoners.

Amanda Foreman

I fell in love with music because it gave me an escape, it gave me strength, and it gave me confidence.

Amber Liu

It's the relationship I have with the world: always trying to escape from reality. I'm a daydreamer; I don't feel in harmony with my epoch or the societies I live in.

Amin Maalouf

Governments can't escape from taking tough steps. One can't be populist about it. You can't flirt with such serious issues like security.

Amit Shah

There are large numbers of people in India below the poverty line; there are large numbers of people who lead a meager existence. They want to find a little escape from the hardships of life and come and watch something colorful and exciting and musical. Indian cinema provides that.

Amitabh Bachchan

Neither the writer nor the reader can save the world by themselves. Or escape it entirely.

Amitava Kumar

We as people often subscribe to hope to feel better about our lives, to escape the harsh and sometimes cruel injustices of the world.

Aml Ameen

Now that I've moved to Mumbai, I should perhaps get a horse. It'll be a nice escape from my everyday life.

Amy Jackson

Stress impacts the way we think, feel, and behave. It often leads to a negative, self-perpetuating cycle that is hard to escape.
