“Forget about what you are escaping from. Reserve your anxiety for what you are escaping to.”
“What does your anxiety do? It does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but it empties today of its strength. It does not make you escape the evil; it makes you unfit to cope with it if it comes.”
“What do you want to escape from? This thing called 'reality?”
“You don't need to know what you're escaping from to become a fugitive.”
“You cannot escape what is detined”
“Suicide is an escape from life. What is life? An escape from death. This means that each of us must die twice. There is the death waiting us ahead, and the death that comes pursuing us from behind. Your trouble is that you're confused, Once you are free at least from the death that comes pursuing you, you can relax and enjoy life as you go along.”
