Retreat Quotes

On resolve, timing, and what it means never to retreat.

Retreat means different things across these quotes: a quiet writer's escape to Brooklyn, a tactical judgment about when to strike and when to hold back, and, in a solemn historical vow, a declaration of unwavering resolve, quoted here as military history, not as an endorsement of conflict.
