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
I love sci-fi, computer games. I love any escapes. Give me them all.
Alexander Siddig
In my reporting, I've found that real change escapes many change-makers because powerful illusions guide their projects.
Anand Giridharadas
I am a serial denier. I try not to be. I tell myself, 'You are going to die.' I repeat it. I grasp it for a second or two, but then it escapes me, and I'm back to before.
Bari Weiss
Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere.
C. S. Lewis
No one escapes the long arm of the law, they are a business, they are very good at what they do and eventually they will catch up with you.
Chris Eubank Sr.
I think that storytelling, at its essence, allows us to feel like we all suffer the same insanity or a similar insanity of existence: that nobody escapes scot-free. We're all going to wind up - at the best-case scenario - 80, 85, 90, broken, in pain, and feeling like it was all a dream and not really understanding the point of any of it.
David Harbour
No one escapes from the past without bearing some of its burdens.
Edmund Morgan
I don't think there's any show that really escapes it: It's very rare that a creative producer stays with the show. As soon as the producer leaves, they cut the budget.
Edward Albert
Not by the forces of civil war can you govern the very weakest woman. You can kill that woman, but she escapes you then; you cannot govern her. No power on earth can govern a human being, however feeble, who withholds his or her consent.
Emmeline Pankhurst
No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life.
Ernest Renan
Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.
George William Curtis
Nobody escapes age and gravity.
Harlan Ellison
My father made many narrow escapes during his time in Vietnam.
Harris Faulkner
'Shantaram' is fantastic. An Australian prisoner escapes & joins the mafia in India? Sign me up. I love stuff that is based on true stories.
Hasan Minhaj
A very small cause which escapes our notice determines a considerable effect that we cannot fail to see, and then we say that the effect is due to chance.
Henri Poincare
Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
Henry David Thoreau
For city dwellers like me who don't get to vacation in the summer, no filmmaker can so effectively make you feel like you went to France for August, fell in love, got hurt, broke up, grew up, and figured some things out - all in 90 minutes or so. My favorite of Rohmer's cinematic escapes is 'La Collectionneuse.'
Jake Paltrow
One of the best things to do with tablescapes in my experience, is really curating them with things that you've collected.
Jeremiah Brent
I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.
Jeri Ryan
Finn is just a stormtrooper, and stormtroopers are no longer clones, so they are bred from birth to fight. He's not too sure about it, so he escapes and meets Rey and Poe and BB8, and their stories kind of mesh together, and they go on a major adventure.
God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.

No one escapes the teenage years without a lot of challenges. I had many. I was awkward. Petrified of boys.
Nobody escapes during Lisa Lampanelli's show.
Anyone with a heart, with a family, has experienced loss. No one escapes unscathed. Every story of separation is different, but I think we all understand that basic, wrenching emotion that comes from saying goodbye, not knowing if we'll see that person again - or perhaps knowing that we won't.
To romp along the connected rooftops and fire escapes of Chicago's second city of garages was my young life's passion.
I hate perfect centerpieces and formal tablescapes.
Every adult has the right to choose who they wish to spend their lives with, and we're all capable of making mistakes, but no one escapes with their self-regard intact.
Falling down is a very big subject, and so is the concept of downfall. None of us escapes, and I have had my share of both.
Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh.
God knows Himself and every created thing perfectly. Not a blade of grass or the tiniest insect escapes His eye.
No one escapes being haunted by something that absolutely terrifies them to the core, but very few feel it's okay to admit what it is that haunts us.
Making the best of things is... a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.
The trauma of South Asian people escapes the confines of our own times. We're not just healing from what's been inflicted onto us as children... it is generations of pain embedded into our souls.
I loved 'Shantaram' by Gregory David Roberts, which is going to be made into a film. It's an amazing story about an Australian guy who escapes from prison and his first port of call is Mumbai.
Nothing escapes God's knowledge. This is proved by the witness of the Scriptures and the analogy of the sun, which, although created, yet by its light or heat enters into all things.
In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes from history, from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss.
I think something that escapes a lot of people is my entire career... I call myself the 'often unwanted' because when I got to Ring of Honor, I was told it was supposed to be one-off deal.
I like to create what I call 'tablescapes.' It's so much more fun when you organize your table around a theme, don't you think?
You could say, in a vulgar Freudian way, that I am the unhappy child who escapes into books. Even as a child, I was most happy being alone. This has not changed.
A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.
The best work for creative folks on the team is when the problem is big and the solution escapes everyone.
Ancient monuments 300 to 1000-plus years old are never 'renovated,' only 'restored,' a distinction that escapes the babus.
Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself.
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
