Resort Quotes

From last resort to leisure resort, one word, two meanings.

Resort quotes split neatly into two meanings, starting with a willingness to resort to anything for the sake of the common good, treating resort as a last, serious option. A lighter quote flips the word, saying resort brings Leisure and prettiness to mind instead.

The north coast of Brittany is eaten into bays from which the sea retreats to considerable distances, and is fringed with reefs and islands. It is a favourite resort of Parisians throughout its stretch, from Dinard to Plestin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'resort to anything' mean in the first quote?
It expresses a willingness to take any necessary action, even drastic ones, for the sake of the common good, using 'resort' in its sense of a last, serious option rather than a vacation spot.
Is 'resort' also used to mean a vacation destination here?
Yes, one quote associates the word directly with prettiness, while two others describe actual resort areas, including the Brittany coast and a resort area near Lake Balaton popular with Leisure travelers.
What resort destinations are named in these quotes?
The Brittany coast in France, favored by Parisians for its bays and reefs, and the area around Lake Balaton in western Hungary, popular with German tourists, are both mentioned by name.
Do all the quotes here use 'resort' the same way?
No, the word shifts between meaning a last-resort action and meaning a leisure destination, so context matters for understanding each quote correctly.
Is escape a theme in these resort quotes?
It fits loosely, since resort towns are often chosen precisely as a form of Escape from daily routine, even though none of the quotes use that exact word directly.

Two grounded entries describe actual resort destinations, from the reef-fringed coast of Brittany favored by Parisians to a settlement near Lake Balaton popular with tourists seeking Escape. Resort covers real distance here, tied to Identity and place.
