There is no such thing as escape after all, only an exchange of one set of difficulties for another. It wasn't Mark or the farm or marriage I was trying to shake loose from but my own imperfect self, and even if I kept moving, she would dog me all the way around the world, forever. Kristin Kimball
About This Quote

Edward R. Murrow said: “There is no such thing as escape after all, only an exchange of one set of difficulties for another. It wasn't Mark or the farm or marriage I was trying to shake loose from but my own imperfect self, and even if I kept moving, she would dog me all the way around the world, forever.” In this quote Edward R. Murrow is talking about human nature and how people will always want to stay in their comfort zones and not try to move up to a higher level in life. He is saying that we should be willing to do whatever it takes to get what we want and not be afraid of making mistakes or failing at something in life.
