“Work is when you confront the problems you might otherwise be tempted to run away from”

“[...] I think about the problem with running from your trouble . The problem is in the stopping. The whole time you think you're getting away from everything, the trouble is running like mad, too, trying to catch up with you. And it doesn't slow down when you do--it keeps on sprinting. So when trouble finally reaches you, it hits you hard(p107)”

“We run when we're scared, we run when we're ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.”

“And when you'd finished running you'd be thousands of miles away from people who love you and your problem would still be there except you'd have nobody to help you.”

“When you said I wasn't your problem, It was just an excuse to run away. YOU'RE A WHIPPED DOG. -Kazuma”

“Take pride away from a man and you might as well run a knife through his heart.”
