“I want to escape with you, Jack.""I'll always be your escape, Lex.”

“They say you can't escape your past, but I don't believe that. I believe you escape it every day, over and over again, always cognizant of the difference between past and present”

“There is always that dream of escape, but there is no place to escape to, you just run into yourself.”

“So it always is: when you escape to a desert the silence shouts in your ear.”

“If you want a thing--truly want it, want it so badly that you need it as you need air to breathe, then unless you die, you will have it. Why not? It has you. There is no escape. What a cruel and terrible thing escape would be if escape were possible”

“..such a cross is too much for you. You wanted to regenerate another man in yourself through suffering; I say just remember that other man always, all your life, and wherever you escape to--and that is enough for you.”
