Good lines: escape and sanctuary

     "The whole of life is about escape.... As long as you face every problem that's presented to you it's not wrong to escape a little. After all you only escape from insanity into sanity and that must be a very good thing."

     ".... to sit by a fire after battening down the house before a tearing blizzard off the sea and to listen to the frustrated howling of the elements is one of the great pleasures in life."

Margery Allingham, as quoted in The Adventures of Margery Allingham by Julia Jones.
