Evasion
A daydream is an evasion.
Thomas Merton
In our age there is no such thing as
'keeping out of politics.' All issues
are political issues, and politics
itself is a mass of lies, evasions,
folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
George Orwell
Bad humor is an evasion
of reality; good humor is
an acceptance of it.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Fearful as reality is, it is less fearful
than evasions of reality. Look steadfastly
into the slit, pinpointed malignant eyes
of reality as an old-hand trainer
dominates his wild beasts.
Caitlin Thomas
The difference between tax
avoidance and tax evasion is
the thickness of a prison wall.
Denis Healey
For me, poetry is
an evasion of the real
job of writing prose.
Sylvia Plath
