“M. Myriel devait subir le sort de tout nouveau venu dans une petite ville où il y a beaucoup de bouches qui parlent et fort peu de têtes qui pensent.” — Monsieur Myriel had to endure the lot of any newcomer in a small town where there are many mouths that talk, and very few heads that think.

Inherited from Middle French subir, borrowed from Latin subīre (“approach”).
