To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation; we need to see over-all patterns in our lives. We need hope, the sense of a future. And we need freedom (or, at least, the illusion of freedom) to get beyond ourselves, whether with telescopes and microscopes and our ever-burgeoning technology, or in states of mind that allow us to travel to other worlds, to rise above our immediate surroundings.We may seek, too, a relaxing of inhibitions that makes it easier to bond with each other, or transports that make our consciousness of time and mortality easier to bear. We seek a holiday from our inner and outer restrictions, a more intense sense of the here and now, the beauty and value of the world we live in.

Flight is lawful, when one flies from tyrants.

There is no need of spurs when the horse is running away.

A man trying to escape never thinks himself sufficiently concealed.

The man does better who runs from disaster than he who is caught by it.

We must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory Wars are not won by evacuations.

Those that fly, may fight again, Which he can never do that's slain. Hence timely runnings no mean part Of conduct, in the martial art.

Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
