I think it's time you stop being so self-abnegating, and focus on yourself instead.

An ascetic sensuality, at once somber, self-abnegating, and restrained in its joyfulness, floods through Yun's paintings.

Not for me, the lucky beneficiary of my mother's quixotic and self-abnegating striving, but for my perpetually impoverished parents.

"Roma" leaves you in no doubt that he worships and adores the self-abnegating woman who was a second mother to him.

On one side, there are flamethrowers who denounce what they consider to be a self-abnegating élite as an existential threat to the German nation.

Siena's divergent inspirations include the rule-bound procedures of the self-abnegating conceptualist Sol Lewitt, and the madcap elasticity of the cartoon master of the grotesque, Basil Wolverton.

As ideas for art, they may be said to qualify as proto-postmodern, to the extent that that means anything, for their tension between the Duchampian readymade (with white borders signalling thingness) and self-abnegating obsession.

It's hard to think of a woman who divides her time between eight palaces as having made a sacrifice, but as Morgan shows us in his royal chronicle, decade on decade of self-abnegating duty exacts a human price.

Then there's Jared (Zach Woods), a gawky, tender-hearted business brain who decamps from the tech juggernaut Hooli (the show's Google cipher) to work for Pied Piper pro bono because he believes in Richard's vision to a zealous, almost self-abnegating degree.

Will's style as a parent and a person is aggressive and self-abnegating, which clashes with the class's clique of other single parents, Angie (Leighton Meester), Poppy (Kimrie Lewis), Miggy (Jake Choi), and Douglas (Brad Garrett), who just want to share babysitting duties and escape their fates.

It is in Marías's portrayal of two completely different ways of being in the world — Eduardo's vengeful and intellectual stance, as compared with Beatriz's self-abnegating stoicism — that we see what a novelist can do best: relish opposing viewpoints and play them off against each other.

But though I disagree with the extent of their pessimism about the gulf between immigrants and natives in Europe, I fear that their real miscalculation lies elsewhere: As the recent surge of far-right populists shows, Europe might turn out not to be quite as self-abnegating as Caldwell and Houellebecq assume.

He must also have realized that he had a melodramatically self-abnegating prima donna on his hands, and he patiently walked Beckett through the steps necessary for his books to be published in the United States, starting with persuading him to translate them into English himself, which Beckett did only after making a tremendous fuss.

The love of Momal and Rano is an allegorical metaphor for the love of the soul and divine. The separation and longing between two lovers parallels the separation of the Divine and the human soul and longing of both the divine and the human soul to merge and dissolve into each other much like Momal and Rano were unified in the burning fire. The human soul, ruh, longs for Allah and in absolute overpowering self abnegating devotion cares nothing for the world or society and seeks union with divinity in the crazed love experienced by Sufis.

Amrit, the Nectar of Immortality, was now ready and Guru Gobind Singh gave each of the five Sikhs a palmsful of it to drink. At the end, all five of them drank the remaining elixir from the same steel bowl, binding themselves in new fraternal spiritual ties. Their rebirth into this brotherhood meant the cancellation of their previous family ties, status, caste, occupations which had hitherto determined their place in society, their beliefs and creeds and of the rituals they had so far observed. The five Sikhs formed the nucleus of the self-abnegating, martial and casteless fellowship of the Khalsa which Guru Gobind Singh had brought into being that day.

American-authored Mounties are often little different from US Marshalls and project the values of Westerns in that they place their individual sense of justice and conscience above their duty to the law. Canadian-authored Mounties represent, and are self-abnegating champions of, the Canadian establishment and its laws. Further, their authority does not come from either their social class or physical abilities; such a Mountie "upholds the law by moral rather than physical force". A common story outline for Northerns involving Mounties is a pursuit, confrontation and capture: the Mountie's pursuit of a fugitive takes place across the Canadian wilderness and may be resolved non-violently.

The Flies () is a play by Jean-Paul Sartre, written in 1943. It is an adaptation of the Electra myth, previously used by the Greek playwrights Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides. The play recounts the story of Orestes and his sister Electra in their quest to avenge the death of their father Agamemnon, king of Argos, by killing their mother Clytemnestra and her husband Aegisthus, who had deposed and killed him. Sartre incorporates an existentialist theme into the play, having Electra and Orestes engaged in a battle with Zeus and his Furies, who are the gods of Argos and the centerpiece for self-abnegating religious rituals.

Stan's mentality is of a staunchly conservative Republican and self- proclaimed American patriot. His conservatism is expressed ludicrously with him often coming off as severely intolerant, self-abnegating, and wrongheaded. All the same however, Stan has numerous alternate ways of taking drastic measures beyond politics. As examples—in the episode "Dope & Faith" when Stan found out one of his friends was an atheist, he tried getting him to pray by blowing up his home, spreading the bird flu at his restaurant, brainwashing his wife into thinking she was a lesbian, and taking his kids away; in the episode "I Can't Stan You", Stan evicted his entire neighborhood and his own family just for overhearing some of his neighbors gossiping about him behind his back; in the episode "Four Little Words", Stan framed his wife as a murderer all so as not to hear her say the words "I told you so"; etc.
