“Running ain't no bad thing. Leastways if you run in the right direction.”

“Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.”

“Two things are bad for the heart—running up stairs and running down people.”

“Freedom ain't running but chasing what you want...”

“I am not perfect." It came out in a rush of breath. "See I thought I was. Thank God I ain't. See a perfect thing ain't got a chance. The world kills it, everything perfect. (Listen to him!)

But the world ain't set up right if you perfect. You lible to run right into a brick wall. Looks like suicide. All the weeds say, looka there, it suicide!”

“You can't run away from trouble. There ain't no place that far.”
