Between planning family vacations and running away for novel-writing retreats, I've spent much of my adult life questing for the perfect beach escape, renting cottages all along the Florida Gulf and up and down the Atlantic Coast - as far north as Nags Head, as far south as Key West.

I think I'm always running away from somewhere, and to me, theatre's always felt like a good place to run away to.

Abi Morgan

I am always running away from something.

I've never liked the recognition, the questions, the publicity. I have often felt like running away and hiding.

Al Pacino

You never know if you're a writer. You can't trust it. If you woke up and said, 'I'm a writer,' it would be gone. You wouldn't see anything for miles - even the dust would be running away.

Ali Smith

Trust You Writer

We're living in a whole new social and economic order with a whole new set of problems and challenges. Old assumptions and old programs don't work in this new society and the more we try to stretch them to make them fit, the more we will be seen as running away from what is reality.

Ann Richards

Work Society Wit

There is something about putting the uniform on. You've got a role to play, to be calm, to lead other people, to go forward when everyone else is running away. It gives you a sense of, not of courage but, 'It's my job.'

Cressida Dick

War Courage Age

The best restriction I learned was getting into the habit of doing something, even if I didn't feel like it, instead of running away from it. Sometimes good work needs to be earned, and when you can overcome yourself, the muse notices and celebrates.

Damien Rice

Work Time Good

I ran away. I kept running away. Almost once a week, I'd run away from those schools. They'd catch me. They'd bring me back to the school, beat me. And it was - it was terrible.

Dennis Banks

I've always seen first responders as unsung heroes and very special people because, when everyone else is running away from danger, they run into it.

A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.

Eudora Welty

Mom Men Good

Geeta Phogat

And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.

Gerald Scarfe

Young You Wear

I think you must be running away from something pretty enormous if you don't want to see a person more than once or twice. I think relationships don't get interesting for quite a while. When the initial heady rush fades, that's when it gets really exciting.

Greg Wise

Relationship You While

Where you grew up becomes a big part of who you are for the rest of your life. You can't run away from that. Well, sometimes the running away from it is what makes you who you are.

Helen Mirren

When I was little, one of my father's friends owned a circus. For four absolutely incredible summers, I found myself being the only boy in Ireland who didn't dream of running away with the circus. I was in it!

Ian Beattie

Wit Who Way

I'm a guy that, if I see people running away from something I'm like, 'Why you running away? What's over there?'

Israel Adesanya

You Why Way

I never got to the point when I felt like running away from it all.

Jamie Redknapp

People can change, learn, and grow, and it's better to face your demons instead of perpetually running away from them.

Jessica Rothe

Pet Change Your

What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Fear Wit Way

For once in my life, I wanted to flaunt my Asian side instead of hiding it to fit as somebody else... 'Crazy Rich Asians' made me want to get in touch with my roots, instead of running away from them.

Jimmy O. Yang

Life Wit Way

I didn't feel that running away would change anything but when the roof of the garage started coming off I thought it was time to go.

John Harrison

I'm not running away from the fact that I had previously said I did not contemplate a major increase, and that was a fair statement of the Government's state of mind at the time I made that.

John Howard

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio; raised primarily in Phoenix, Arizona; and, after running away from home in my teens to play music and bouncing around a bit, settled in Oxford, Mississippi, which I consider more my home than anywhere else in the world.

Jonathan Miles

It took me 14 years to write 'Crazy Brave' because I kept changing the form and I also kept running away from the story. I said I don't really want to write about myself. But it's about writing about memory.

Joy Harjo

I'm certainly never running away from the Seekers again.

Judith Durham

Running away will never make you free.

Kenny Loggins

My heart started running away, like a pack of horses. Then it slowed down and became irregular.

Kevin Nealon

I run my routes like a crossover dribble. It's about taking angles, faking one way but going the other, and being savvy. And then, instead of running to the basket, I'm running away from the defender.

Le'Veon Bell

You have to go where the story is to report on it. As a journalist, you're essentially running to things that other people are running away from.

Lester Holt

I think I survived by running away some. Running away to work.

Liam Neeson

Take my horse to the old town road and ride till I can't no more' basically means just running away, and everything is just gone. The horse is metaphorical for not having anything or just the little things that you do have, and it's with you.

Lil Nas X

We're married. We are one now. There's no running away. We have to deal with things together and figure them out, and that's the greatest gift. I'm in it. People ask me, 'How do you maintain a relationship?' I don't know, but all I do know is that I chose Sara to be the one, and when I choose something, that's all that matters, and I'm totally in.

Linda Perry

I've been falsely accused of drawing too much from real life. But I am a petty thief - I take little things. And, I mean, I can hardly write 10 words before I start to make things up. I start to invent, because that's what I want to do. I'm running away to an invented place.

Lorrie Moore

It's in every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.

Lykke Li

When I was running away, I didn't have somebody there to help me run away. All I had was DMX's voice or Eminem's voice or Tupac's voice.

Machine Gun Kelly

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

Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you're revolted by. In fact, often it's what you're running away from.

Marc Ribot

We thought we were running away from the grownups, and now we are the grownups.

Margaret Atwood

If a bully wants to beat you up, you have the choice of running away or standing your ground. In our society, we have police forces who try to control bullies, sometimes by force.

Margaret MacMillan

Between planning family vacations and running away for novel-writing retreats, I've spent much of my adult life questing for the perfect beach escape, renting cottages all along the Florida Gulf and up and down the Atlantic Coast - as far north as Nags Head, as far south as Key West.

Mary Kay Andrews

To make extra money, my parents would sell eggs and chickens. I was very little. I remember a chicken's head being chopped off with the chicken running around. I wasn't sure if my imagination was running away with me or if it really happened. It really happened.

Michael Keaton

I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.

Mika

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

I want to be a good person. I don't want to fail. I want to learn from my mistakes, rid myself of distractions, and run into the arms of Jesus. Most of the time, however, I feel like I am running away from Jesus into the arms of my own clutteredness.

Mike Yaconelli

The idea of running away and getting married excites me.

Mrunal Thakur

I'm sick of running away from things.

Natalia Kills

In general, presidents do sit for interviews or respond to requests from prosecutors because they take their constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws seriously, and running away from a prosecutor isn't consistent with faithfully executing the laws.

Neal Katyal

In a presidential campaign, you can't lie. You can't hide what you are and what you want. You can't hide what kind of President you'll be. You can't keep on talking about nothing indefinitely and committing to nothing, you can't keep running away from debate, masking the challenges.

Nicolas Sarkozy

The French people need to have all the facts so they can choose. And I won't be running away from it or hiding from it.

Nicolas Sarkozy

The danger of writing a so-called thriller is that in your last 100 pages, all of these really interesting characters you've created are just running away from something or toward something, but they're no longer capable of innovation or discovery.

Noah Hawley
