Examples of Subjugate in a Sentence

1. Quentin Crisp:

   Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey! You should never subjugate yourself to another nor seek the subjugation of someone else to yourself. If you follow that Crispian principle you will be able to say Phooey, too, instead of reaching for your gun when you fancy yourself betrayed.

   What's at stake is not simply, as important as it is, Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, independence but very basic principles that have, in a hard-fought way after two World Wars and a Cold War, undergirded security, peace and prosperity for countries around the world -- principles like one country can't simply change the borders of another by force ; principles like one country can't simply dictate to another its choices, its policies, with who it will associate ; principles like one country can't exert a sphere of influence to subjugate its neighbors to its will, if we allow those principles to be challenged with impunity, even if it's half a world away in Europe, that will have an impact here as well.

5. John Sifton:

   The Taliban represent an abusive authority, a brutal regime that has killed people and repressed and plans to subjugate the human rights of millions of people in coming years, but none of that will matter to those people if they're dead because of famine.
