T.S. Eliot, poet (1888-1965)

In a world of fugitives, the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away. -T.S. Eliot, poet (1888-1965)

Applying this to our present culture, most people seem to be fugitives from reality, that is, from the world that comprises more than mere sense data, so the one who is moving toward reality appears to running away, unable to face "things as they are."
