“I myself am a person who has never resigned myself, who is absolutely never resigned, who can’t imagine it at all. I simply observe, and I observe in so many people, and often very quickly, a resignation that terrifies me, that’s it.”
“for I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value is our estimation.”
“My wish is to ride the tempest, tame the waves, kill the sharks. I will not resign myself to the usual lot of women who bow their heads and become concubines.”
“I did not myself set a high estimation on wealth, and had the affectation of most young men of lively imagination, who suppose that they can better dispense with the possession of money, than resign their time and faculties to the labour necessary to acquire it.”
“I could settle down into a state ofequable low spirits, and resign myself to coffee.”
“I closed my eyes and resigned myself to the fact that my boyfriend was a pervert. He was lucky he was so cute.”
