Quotes About Aggression

Everybody knows how to throw a punch. Not correctly - he or she might not know how to turn the wrist or know what part of the hand to hit with. But humans instinctively know to fight, whether they bite or claw or pull hair. It's an instinct.
~ CM Punk
The louder the cannon, the deafer the peacemakers.
~ Gregory Maguire
There's no evidence for the belief that "letting off steam" is healthy or constructive. In fact, studies show that aggressively expressing anger doesn't relieve anger but amplifies it. On the other hand, not expressing anger often allows it to disappear without leaving ugly traces.
~ Gretchen Rubin
It was all of a piece, all a form of aggression. Pimping the land and animals. Profit at the expense of all else. Exclusion and exclusivity. Willful ignorance and denial. As I drove, I tried to register how it felt "not to be.
~ Gretel Ehrlich
Jamais elle n'avait eu tant d'estime pour elle-même ni tant de mépris pour les autres. Quelque chose de belliqueux la transportait. Elle aurait voulu battre les hommes, leur cracher au visage, les broyer tous.
~ Gustave Flaubert
Válka vypukne, když si dvÄ› zemÄ› pÃ…â"¢isvojují nárok na stejné území, když nebyly pÃ…â"¢esne ur?eny hranice mezi dvÄ›ma nezávislými státy nebo když v nich ?asem doÅ¡lo k nejakým nesrovnalostem. Tam, kde jsou hranice pÃ…â"¢esnÄ› vymezeny a respektovány, k nejasnostem ani ke konflikt?m nedohádzí.

~ Guy de Maupassant
if you're not pissing someone off on social media, you're not using it aggressively enough.

The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.
~ Hannah Arendt
Of these, only the last, the crime against humanity, was new and unprecedented. Aggressive warfare is at least as old as recorded history, and while it has been denounced as criminal many times before, it has never been recognized as such in any formal sense.
~ Hannah Arendt
The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is to a more violent world.
~ Hannah Arendt
La razón principal de que la guerra siga con nosotros no es un secreto deseo de muerte de la especie humana, ni un irreprimible instinto de agresión ni, final y más plausiblemente, los serios peligros económicos y sociales inherentes al desarme, sino el simple hecho de que no haya aparecido todavía en la escena política un sustituto de este árbitro final.
~ Hannah Arendt
As a matter of fact, states everywhere are highly intent on outlawing or at least controlling even the mere possession of arms by private citizens—and most states have indeed succeeded in this task—as an armed man is clearly more of a threat to any aggressor than an unarmed man. It bears much less risk for the state to keep things peaceful while its own aggression continues, if rifles with which the taxman could be shot are out of the reach of everyone except the taxman himself!
~ Hans-Hermann Hoppe
It was one lesson he never forgot. You don't sit back when you or a loved one is being assaulted. And you don't act like the goverment with their proportional responses and all that nonsense. If someone hurts you, mercy and pity must be put aside. You eliminate the enemy. You scorch the earth.
~ Harlan Coben
The brothers frowned and strolled toward him. One cracked his neck as he strutted. The other opened and closed fists. Matt felt his blood hum.
~ Harlan Coben
He had learned a valuable lesson about physical confrontations: You can predict nothing. Sure, whoever lands the first blow usually wins. The bigger man was usually victorious too. But once it got going, once the red tornado took hold of the combatants, anything could happen. The
~ Harlan Coben
The press could not help themselves. They attacked like ravenous relatives around a buffet table.
~ Harlan Coben
At one point, I remember throwing Jerry Lawler so hard that he didn't touch either rope. He just went straight through and hit the barricade.
~ Mark Henry
There's a real sense of fighting and destruction in our DNA that we don't get in touch with.
~ Joel Edgerton
It's one of those things: I would 100 percent pancake a guy and steal his soul over scoring a touchdown.
~ George Kittle
You want to get the sack, but you want to get the forced fumble and the fumble recovery. And if you get the touchdown, that's the cherry on top. But you're looking for those three always.
~ Myles Garrett
Every time I touched Ronda, connected a punch, I wanted more and more. That's why the fight was so fast. Every time I connected, I felt that she couldn't take it, so I threw more and only stopped when it was over. But it was good.
~ Amanda Nunes
I was always fighting with everyone when I was a kid. I was playing with people two or three years older than me, and I had to survive. So I love the physical game, the contact. And I don't know why, but I think football is like this. It is not just touching the ball and stringing together 50 pretty passes consecutively.
~ Fernando Torres
You have to tackle. Football is not composed of just taking the ball, or clearing the ball, properly, without touching the opponent? No. If you clear the ball and the opponent is in the middle of it... I feel sorry for the opponent!
~ Davinson Sanchez
