Running from horrors doesn't help. The only way to deal with them is to meet them head-on.

Peter David
About This Quote

The phrase "running from horrors" is used to describe someone who tries to avoid the problems that they face. This is not the best way to deal with them, because it's likely that the problems will only get worse. It is also more productive to face the horrors head on, even if it means facing them alone.
