Drive Quotes

“You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all - the race to the egg. And now that you are a giant, why do you even doubt victory against smaller numbers and wider margins? The only walls that exist are those you have placed in your mind. And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved.”

“Schon mit Anfang zwanzig hatte ich mich, nach meiner Niederlage gegen die bösartige Ikea-Hollywoodschaukel, in einer Therapie mit dem Unterschied von Drive und driven auseinandergesetzt. Ich hatte tief hineingeschaut in meine Kindheit und Jugend und wusste seitdem, dass ich zwei Arten von Ehrgeiz in mir trug. Eine helle, lustvolle und eine bedürftige, abhängige. Für diese zwei Arten von Ehrgeiz kennt die deutsche Sprache keine unterscheidenden Worte, und doch sind sie grundverschieden.”

“I would tell you to never give up. You may need to tighten your plan, adjust your pace, redistribute your resources, tweak your trajectory, or backup just enough to regain the objectivity that you may have lost. You may need to eliminate the naysayers, rub shoulders with the visionaries, leave the cowards to the smallness of their existence, hike with those who traverse horizons, and ride hard with those who refuse to live in the rear mirrors of life. Therefore, if I were to tell you to give up, I would tell you to give up everything that are not these things.”

“I'm drawn again and again to obsessives. I like them. I like the idea that someone could push away all the concerns and details that make up everyday life and just zero in on one thing - the thing that fits the contours of his or her imagination. Obsessives lead us astray sometimes. Can't see the bigger picture. Serve not just the world's but also their own narrow interests. But I don't think we get progress or innovation or joy or beauty without obsessives.”

“Never give up. It's like breathing—once you quit, your flame dies letting total darkness extinguish every last gasp of hope. You can't do that. You must continue taking in even the shallowest of breaths, continue putting forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. Don't ever, ever, ever give up.”

“If you’re willing to confront reality, accept the pain that comes with doing so, and follow the 5-Step Process to drive yourself toward your goals, you’re on the path to success. Yet most people fail to do this because they hold on to bad opinions that could easily be rectified by going above themselves to objectively look down at their situation and weigh what they and others think about it. It’s for that reason I believe you must be radically open-minded.”

“Her father had told her repeatedly that fear was the one force that drove all darkness in the world. Love, on the other hand, was the greatest source of power. Love strengthened the weakest, gave them a ferocity that fear never offered. Mothers defended their children. Partners, friends, good people stared down evil, becoming something to be feared. Because of love. Yet love wasn't the path Camilla had chosen. She'd succumbed to that same moral trap. Change was terrifying. The unknown always was. It was the very essence of its being unknown that made it so. The familiar was comforting even when it wasn't necessarily good.”
