If you treat an animal right, they don't run away. They're not like us. They run away from people they don't trust; most times we run away from ourselves.

I feel like a small battlefield in which the problems, or some of the problems, of our time are being fought out. All one can hope to do is keep oneself humbly available, to allow oneself to be a battlefield. After all, the problems must be accommodated, have somewhere to struggle and come to rest and we, poor little humans, must put our inner space at their service and not run away.

Etty Hillesum

Hazrat Inayat Khan

When we run from God, we run away from everything that makes us alive and free. We run away from our own happiness. We leave our place where we belong—close to his heart.

Sally Lloyd-Jones

This is a very important practice. Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.

Nhat Hanh

Every time I feel mad or something, I run somewhere. It gets my frustrations away. I run and run and run.

Pedro Martinez

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.

Christopher McDougall

To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
