Sun Tzu
Chinese - Philosopher

Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to prosecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.

Vaclav Havel

What follows I flee; what flees I ever pursue.

Ovid

One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

You have to look at the reality in Syria. Whenever we liberate any city or village from the terrorists, the civilians will go back to the city, while they flee that city when the terrorists attack that area, the opposite. So, they flee, first of all, the war itself; they flee the area under the control of the terrorists, they flee the difficult situation because of the embargo by the West on Syria.

The left patronizes minorities, pretends they don't know how to vote correctly, pretends they don't have IDs, when in fact they want their votes to count, and participate in greater numbers when you assure them their votes will count.

Tom Fitton

No matter how hard you pursue pleasure and success, there are times when you fail. No matter how fast you flee, there are times when pain catches up with you.

Henepola Gunaratana

I stumbled out into the courtyard to try to flee my misery, but of course we can never flee the misery that is within us.

Arthur Golden

How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.

Marcus Aurelius

The pale stars are gone! For the sun, their swift shepherd, To their folds them compelling, In the depths of the dawn, Hastes, in meteor-eclipsing array, and the flee Beyond his blue dwelling, As fawns flee the leopard.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I don't like anything permanent; I have to be able to flee. You have to be able to flee at a moment's notice.

Maira Kalman

The days, the nights, flow one by one above us. The hours go silently over our lifted faces. We are like dreamers who walk beneath a sea. Beneath high walls we flow in the sun together. We sleep, we wake, we laugh, we pursue, we flee.
