Famous quotes with Resign (oneself to)

  • Is there not therefore rational necessity, but vital anguish that impels us to believe in God. And to believe in God — I must reiterate it yet again — is, before all and above all, to feel a hunger for God, a hunger for divinity, to be sensible to his lack and absence, to wish that God may exist. And it is the wish to save the human finality of the Universe. For one might even come to resign (oneself to) being absorbed by God, if it be that our consciousness is based upon Consciousness, if consciousness is the end of the Universe.
    Miguel de Unamuno
