Stubbornness never quits me.
Could somebody tell me the meaning of the above sentence?
Many thanks.
This person is characteristrically stubborn, a personality trait that he/she cannot/will not control.
It's not what we would say, however.
I would say, "I am always stubborn" or something like that. You would use "quit" like this:
Boy, she never quits complaining.
Yeah, it was a weird phraseology.
