Henry Giroux
Image
These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
We have a very large constituency in the world from all of the years that we've done workshops, retreats, and talks. I would say there a few thousand people out there that have some relationship to what we do.
Pauline Oliveros
Image
I want to retreat back to living off the land and just being in nature, experiencing life in the most pure, natural way possible.
Willow Smith

Monopathy, or over-specialisation, eventually retreats into defending what one has learnt rather than making new connections. The initial spurt of learning gives out, and the expert is left, like an animal, merely defending his territory.
Robert Twigger

Sun Tzu

We expected that people were just waiting for the collapse of the Soviet Union, or at least for its retreat, and they were going to be full of initiative in all areas of life - in culture, in economy and in politics.
Andrzej Wajda
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is braver than retreat to tranquility.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Shadow is ever besieged, for that is its nature. Whilst darkness devours, and light steals. And so one sees shadow ever retreat to hidden places, only to return in the wake of the war between dark and light.
Steven Erikson
Image
Honorable retreats are no ways inferior to brave charges, as having less fortune, more of discipline, and as much valor.
Christopher Hart
Image
A dwelling should be not a retreat from space, but life in space.
Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
Image
The way in which a certain kind of political idealism has been discredited and scorned makes the danger not that intellectuals keep on making fools of themselves, formulating political opinions when they might not be as informed as they might be, but that they retreat and leave politics to the professionals.
Susan Sontag
Image
I had 13 weeks off and I would pack up the family and drive to some mountain retreat where we could be together and fish all day. I loved it. I needed it.
Perry Como
Image
The difficult thing about practice isn't learning to sit for an hour, or sit for a weekend, or go on a three-month retreat, as hard as those things are. The difficult thing is to pay attention to what is happening right here and now.
Larry Rosenberg
Image

Nelson Mandela
Image
I focus for periods of time on creative work and I'm very insular during those times - not a lot of socializing. I play when I want. That means I can take off on a retreat, catch a matinee, make friends. My core desired feelings are my time management system.
Danielle LaPorte
Image
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains . . . But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree . . . when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I am like a snake who has already bitten. I retreat from a direct battle while knowing the slow effect of the poison.
Anais Nin
Image
What is needed [to combat terrorism], in my view, is resolve, not retreat courage, not concession. Rather than thinking in terms of an exit strategy, focus on a strategy for success.
Donald Rumsfeld
Image
If I advance follow me. If I retreat kill me. If I die avenge me! It is better to live one day as a lion than one-hundred years as a sheep!
Benito Mussolini
Image
[N]o American should retreat an inch on the right of jurors to acquit if they perceive the law or its administration to be unjust.
Charley Reese
Image
Friendship is an island that you retreat to and you all fall on the floor and laugh at all the other ninnies that don't have enough brains to have your good taste.
