“You can run and run as fast and as far as you like, but the truth is, wherever you run, there you are.”

“My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that.”

“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

“Sometimes, my heart hurts so much, I beat it with my fists. I try to run. But you cannot run away from this. You cannot run from it. Wherever you run, it waits for you. Even when you think you have escaped it, it is there, where you have run to. It waits for you, to ambush you. It is like those vines called lianas, those tropical creepers that grow around you and strangle you. You cut off one branch, but there is another that grows. You leap over the wall of one ghetto and find yourself in another ghetto.”

“You cannot outwalk your problems. Can never run fast enough to evade them completely.”

“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.”

“You can run but you cannot hide.”

“If you run before God, you cannot run after God.”

“When you run an organization like the Teamsters one man has to be the boss and run things.”

“I've finished running from you, Redd. It's time for you to run."
