“I think that pretty much every form of fiction (I’d include fantasy, obviously) can actually be a real escape from places where you feel bad, and from bad places. It can be a safe place you go, like going on holiday, and it can be somewhere that, while you’ve escaped, actually teaches you things you need to know when you go back, that gives you knowledge and armour and tools to change the bad place you were in.So no, they’re not escapist. They’re escape.”
Neil Gaiman“As he had once said to someone in England, though he did not care to remember whom, he had liked the sight of the sea because it represented his escape from England. And he had escaped.But she had said that perhaps it was from himself he wished to escape and that it could not be done. For wherever he went, he must inevitably take himself along too.”
Mary Balogh, The Devil's Web“It was an endless, consuming nightmare that she escaped only in madness.And then the escape was not complete. Part of her knew, always.”
Elizabeth Lowell, Midnight in Ruby Bayou“People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality.”
Neil Gaiman“Whatever has befallen you was not meant to escape you, and whatever has escaped you was not meant to befall you.”
عائض القرني“Running my fastest not from my past. Running from those who have hurt me in it. And, they can't catch me anymore. I escaped from the land of make believe.”
Jill Telford“The hurts from my last day with my father are healed now, but I want to remember where they were; I want to remember what I escaped for as long as I live.”
Veronica Roth, Four: A Divergent Story Collection“Both wet to the bone, exhausted, and one unconscious, Kedean thought, all in all, they were faring rather well for two unarmed men who'd only just an hour ago escaped a fleet of fairy pirates into frigid water in unknown territory.”
Anihyr Moonstar, The Coquette and the Thane“Death is number one on the list of things that we wish were possible to leave behind when we escaped barbarism.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana“Your trouble has been what old poets call Daungier. We call it Pride. You are offended by the masculine itself: the loud, irruptive, possessive thing-the gold lion, the bearded bull—which breaks through hedges and scatters the little kingdom of your primness. . . . The male you could have escaped, for it exists only on the biological level. But the masculine none of us can escape. What is above and beyond all things is so masculine that we are all feminine in relation to it.”
C.S. Lewis
