“People pursue things. As soon as they have them they run away from them.”

“New ideas seem like frightening ghosts to people at the beginning; they run away from them for a long time, but they get tired of it in the end!”

“I’m not running away from my responsibilities. I’m running to them. There’s nothing negative about running away to save my life.”

“Most of them were running away from something―usually the law.”

“Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.”

“People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren’t, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly.”
