ESCAPISM


“We each devise our means of escape from the intolerable.” ― William Styron

“People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing. Once you've escaped and then 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.” ― Neil Gaiman
