"All the best stories are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape"

- A. C. Benson

About this Quote

This quote by A. C. Benson talks to the universality of the human experience. All of us have a desire to escape from something, whether it be a difficult situation, a mundane regimen, or a sensation of being trapped. The very best stories, according to Benson, are those that explore this theme of escape. They are stories that resonate with us due to the fact that they reflect our own struggles and desires. We can connect to the characters in these stories because we have all experienced the same feelings of wishing to break totally free. Benson's quote reminds us that although our private stories might be various, all of us share the very same desire to get away. It is this commonness that makes the very best stories so powerful and timeless.
