Hamilton was in the habit of considering every antagonist immediately conquerable.
"Alice of Old Vincennes"
Maurice Thompson
For she was evidently conquerable, and once matched with him would be the very woman to nerve and sustain him.
"The Complete Project Gutenberg Works of George Meredith"
George Meredith
The unlikeness of life to the authorised pictures of life; the force of evil, only conquerable by the slow-revolving process of nature which admits not the eternal duration of the perverse; the grim and fearful lessons of heredity; the sufficiency of the finite to the finite, of life to life, with no other reward than the conduct of life fulfils to him that lives; the all-penetrating kinship of living things, heather-sprig, singing lark, confident child, relentless tyrant; and, not least, not least to her already in its shadow, the sure and universal peace of death.
"Emily Brontë"
A. Mary F. (Agnes Mary Frances) Robinson
