#resignation

"Turning and turning in the widening gyreThe falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worstAre full of passionate intensity."

"We are all resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to."

"What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we ask of others but that we be allowed to keep them?"
