"I didn`t want Frank (Miller, creator of the comic "Sin City" and co-writer on the film) to be treated just as a writer because he is the only one who has actually been to `Sin City`. I am making such a literal interpretation of his book that I`d have felt weird taking directing credit without him. It was easier for me to quietly resign because otherwise I`d have been force to make compromises I was unwilling to make, or set a precedent that might hurt the guild later on." -- March, 2004 in response to why he left the Directors` Guild of America just before the filming of Sin City (2005)
- Robert RodriguezI had to resign myself, many years ago, that I`m not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.
- David BowieThe first time I looked at myself on the screen, I was ready to resign (the movie contract). That can`t be I, I thought. Then when I realized it was, I said, "Good night." Strange enough, I was told that the picture was a scream. I had always been ambitious to work in drama, and it certainly was the surprise of my life when I got away with the comedy stuff.

- Jerry DavisWhat would be nice would be if the mayor would do the right thing and resign. If he had any character whatsoever, that`s what he`d do.
- Jerry DavisIt makes you wonder what really went down with ex-COO Gary Daichendt, who apparently quit in May because he wanted to be CEO but Owens and/or the board showed no sign it was going to happen any time soon. In a nutshell, Owens` departure -- was he fired, pushed or did he resign? -- is another one step forward, two steps back move for Nortel, which has now had three CEOs in the past 18 months.
- Mark EvansI have a hundred times wished that one could resign life as an officer resigns a commission.
- Robert BurnsI had been plunged into a different world. I found myself spending half my time answering weird questions on book tours in the Midwest. People would stand up and explain to me the situation in their office and ask me whether they should resign or not.
- Kazuo IshiguroSome are saying I should resign, some want me impeached, some say I should go on vacation, ... This is my advice: They are the ones who should go on vacation. They should come here and be with people who don`t have land and witness the poverty here.

- Alana BeardLearn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.
- Alexander NikonovThe impossibility of a retreat makes no difference in the situation of men resolved to conquer or die; and, believe me, my friends, if your conquest could be bought with the blood of your general, he would most cheerfully resign a life which he has long devoted to his country.
- Alfredo RangelNo, I did not offer to resign for a second.
- Amanda VailI hereby resign from Prudential Insurance Company of America. As I look back over my years with the company, I note there have been three of them.

- Andrew NelsonWe knew this was always a possibility. There`s still a possibility that he could resign with the Dolphins in a week or two.
- Anthony RemijanHaving Congress or having other people call for him to be fired or call for him to resign would not be productive. That`s something really only the president should decide.
- Asim ButtLearn to limit yourself; to content yourself with some definite work; dare to be what you are and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not; and to believe in your own individuality.
- Henri Frederic Amiel
