With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.

Section 211Eric Hoffer
Faced with problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility: escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. But today, I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.
John Paul II (Pope)
No one ever has time to examine himself honestly, and most people look no further than their neighbors' eyes, in which they may see their own reflection.
Francoise Sagan
"Reflection upon situationality is reflection about the very condition of existence: critical thinking by means which people discover each other to be 'in a situation.'"
Paulo Freire
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self — in the mirror of some woman's eyes.
