..sometimes you have to be bad

You have to be horrible when you haven't got the ball.

To have ultimate victory, you must be ruthless.

We have to set records, we have no choice.

One thing I have learnt, is that, sometimes you need your opponent to do so badly and make you a choice.

Needs must when the Devil drives.

Set up an arbitrary set of rules and then follow them slavishly.

Here some one thrust these cards into these old hands of mine, swears that I must play them, and no others. And damn me, Ahab, but thou actest right, live in the game, and die in it.

Desperate affairs require desperate measures.

If you refuse me, I shall be compelled to believe that you are cruelly enjoying my misery, and that you have learned in the most accursed school that the best way of preventing a young man from curing himself of an amorous passion is to excite it constantly; but you must agree with me that, to put such tyranny in practice, it is necessary to hate the person it is practised upon, and, if that be so, I ought to call upon my reason to give me the strength necessary to hate you likewise.

Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting.

Desperation will allow you to do incredible things in the name of survival.

You don't say, 'I've done it!' You come, with a kind of horrible desperation, to realize that this will do.

You can't. You just have to.
