Escape From Reality Quotes

“We must choose our personal viewpoint. We can embrace a sense of weighty heaviness that comes from knowing that our fate is one of deterioration and death, and our suffering is interminable. Alternatively, we can choose to believe in the unbearable lightness of our being and embrace a world of high-minded thoughts and ideals. The decisions we make are significant regardless if we only have one life to live. We weave our life story out of the choices that we make when confronted with the inevitable opportunities to experience love and friendship and heartache and suffering. During our life, we encounter goodness and evilness, and hope and despair. We must decide whether we accept reality. Alternatively, do we seek to escape the pain that comes from acknowledging the paucity of human existence?”

“They say that to escape reality is when you sleep, but when you sleep your sub conscious is in control of your dreams. For me to escape reality is when I read and write. When I read the world around me doesn't exist. The world in the story does and when I write I'm in control. Think of it as the author is the god of the world that they created. They set the characters fate.”

“Existential anguish derives from the human freedom to think and act, experience love for life, and fear death. We must decide whether we wish to embrace all experience and encounters in life or seek escape from various aspect of human nature. How we resolve to address existential anguish becomes a large part of our personal story.”

“And really, what would I have done all the years without a monster sound system in my car? Where else, beyond the walls of a club, can you experience bass loud enough to wipe your memory clean without complaint from the neighbors? Sound systems are what turn cars into escape vehicles, even if you've got nowhere to go. A drive to the convenience store is five minutes of that storm blowing in from paradise. I'll take the sneers of oldsters at intersections expecting gunfire. The relief is too rare to give up for civility's sake.”

“My eyes roved over the walls covered with my collages and prints of famous paintings. Magritte, Kandinsky, Kahlo. My origami shapes hung from fishing wire, dangling over my bed. They shivered in the slight breeze blowing through my open window. It was my own little escape pod, but none of it was enough tonight.”

“I thought of all the summer evenings I'd spent sitting in the chairs under the trees beside the trailer, reading books that helped me escape Creek View, at least for a little while. Magical kingdoms, Russian love triangles, and the March sisters couldn't have been further away from the trailer park.”

“Bunnu was no amateur when it came to escape. And even in his drowsiest moments, he understood implicitly that to forget his circumstances, even for a short while, meant first to forget himself. Who he was and why he was—to strip it all bare and start from scratch, as it were. In his nearly 250 years of life and, now, as an old emaciated man completely estranged from his family and closest friends—albeit more by circumstance than by choice—he understood the importance of this process and revered it, for there were far greater things to be done and achieved in the dark, uncertain areas of existence than in those circumscribed—and thereby strained—by comprehensibility.”

“Escape from reality. In some instances, dissociation induces people to imagine that they have some kind of mastery over intractable environmental difficulties. Dissociation is often implicated in magical thinking or self-induced trance states. This aspect of dissociation is frequently found in abuse survivors. It is not uncommon for abused children to engage in magical thinking to retain an illusion of control over the situation (e.g., believing that they "cause" the perpetrator to act out).”

“Promising to unify us and democratize information, the Internet has instead become a weaponized divider and a power tool for propagandists. People who have hundreds of friends on social media report that they have fewer real friends. And they are having difficulty finding mates. In every developed nation, people now marry later or do not marry at all. Most concerning—a record number of suicides and overdose deaths tell the same story—that millions of people feel the future is not a desirable place to be. And billions who choose to stay in this world seek escape via a life lived in the safe virtual worlds of video games and A.I. chatbots.”

“Sì, il mondo è grande, il mondo è immenso anche di giorno, quando la vallata di Višegrad vibra sotto la calura e quasi si sente il rumore del grano che matura, quando la kasaba, sparpagliata intorno al verde fiume, chiusa dalla linea regolare del ponte e dai neri monti, sembra esplodere nel suo biancore. Ma è di notte, solo di notte, che il cielo si anima e si infiamma rivelando l'immensità e la grande energia di quel mondo in cui l'essere umano si smarrisce e non sa più dove andare né cosa desiderare o fare. Solo allora si vive realmente, con serenità e a lungo; solo allora non ci sono più parole che impegnano per tutta la vita, promesse fatidiche o situazioni disperate la cui conclusione si avvicina inesorabile e lascia solo la morte o la vergogna come via d'uscita. Sì, non è come durante la vita diurna, quando non si può tornare sulla parola data, né sfuggire a quel che si è promesso. Di notte tutto è libero, infinito, anonimo e muto.”

“Transmutation happens through a process of inner action. Transmutation is the key principle that unlocks a door, and as you will discover in time, it is the unlocking of this door that will break the bonds of the trap that you are currently in. The way of inner alchemy is basically a way to escape that trap.”
