There is something brittle in me that will break before it bends. Perhaps if the [the enemy] had brought a smaller army I might have had the sense to run. But he overdid it.

About This Quote

In the quote, the author is saying that he is a person who doesn’t believe in bending. He will break before going to bend. He will break before he bends. He will break before he bends a little bit.

It’s not about how many times you bend, or how much you change. It’s about what you do when you get back up.
