“There’s a great scene in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] that I’m obsessed with: Sally is being chased by Leatherface with a chainsaw... And she runs into thorn bushes. And she’s getting tangled up in it because she’s running fast... But Sally needs to move slowly in order to get through the bushes - she will get farther faster by going slowly because her hair and clothes won’t get tangled and caught. There’s something really beautiful about understanding that, while someone’s chasing you with a chainsaw, you have to move more slowly in order to get away.” NeedsRunningBeautifulMovingOrderUnderstandingSawsHairSceneClothesCaughtChainsFasterObsessedGet AwayTexasChasingTangledMassacresReally BeautifulChainsawRunning Fast Author:Christopher Bollen
“Anglers have a way of romanticizing their battles with fish and of forgetting that the fish has a hook in his mouth, his gullet, or his belly and that his gameness is really an extreme of panic in which he runs, leaps, and pulls to get away until he dies. It would seem to be enough advantage to the angler that the fish has the hook in his mouth rather than the angler.” WayEnoughSeemsRunningDiesForgetBattleMouthsAdvantageFishesExtremesGet AwayLeapPanicHookBellyAnglers Author:Ernest Hemingway
“I keep exercising even when the days are much shorter.

“I hunt deer because they aren't capable of higher forms of thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away'. They are very much like the French in that way.” ThinkingWayEnoughCareRunningFormNextHigherCapableGet AwayScrewsHuntsDeer Author:Ted Nugent
