Drive

The pull of drive is a quiet fire—something that hums beneath the surface, turning small efforts into relentless motion until the task, the dream, or the habit becomes an extension of the self. These quotes capture the tension between will and weariness, the moment when persistence feels like a second nature.

You hit a certain age and it's, are you still motivated to play? It's the motivation, the drive that kind of leads you, and the body goes, too.

Diana Taurasi

When I was a kid, I saw 'Rambo First Blood', and the next day, I took knives to school and threw them at everybody. So I was definitely influenced by violent films before 'Drive.'

Ryan Gosling

I'm the one who steps from the shadows, all trenchcoat and cigarette and arrogance, ready to deal with the madness. Oh, I've got it all sewn up. I can save you. If it takes the last drop of your blood, I'll drive your demons away. I'll kick them in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down and then I'll be gone back into darkness, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone... who would walk with me?

Garth Ennis

I don't drive a truck, I drive a team of footballers who work for a major club like Atleti.

Diego Simeone

We men are fascinated by the things we don't really understand. It gives us something to think and talk about: like females, they drive us nuts.

Criss Jami

Let borders become sunlight so we traverse this Earth as one nation and drive the darkness out.

Kamand Kojouri

Passion is different from interest. Those who are just interested in things have the “wish”, but passionate people have the “will”.

Israelmore Ayivor

My friends were dropping like flies, and the government wasn't doing anything. You don't watch an entire generation take water hoses and dogs on the front line during the '60s or watch another generation perish from AIDS and then get to drive around in big cars and do nothing.

Jenifer Lewis

My passion for human ecology was not a drive for closure—but rather the joy of endless openings and newfound connections. There is no final goal or perfect completion, only the expanding experience of being alive.

Richard J. Borden

From 1859 to 1971, the U.S. oil industry grew virtually continuously, in the process serving mightily to drive our economy and win our wars. But that growth was stopped dead in 1971 and sent into decline thereafter, as the advent of the EPA and the accompanying National Environmental Policy Act made it increasingly difficult to drill.

Robert Zubrin

...No reformer is worthy of the name if he fails to be the ultimate pacesetter in his own reform drive...

Janvier Chouteu-Chando

A few days of idleness have completely sickened me, and given me what is called the blue-devils so severely, that I feel that the sooner I go to work and drive them off, the better.

John James Audubon

We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.

Barack Obama

We are increasingly using social media to drive both engagement and commerce. And because we are a commerce platform that integrates content, we believe we have a unique opportunity to make up a high button, a relative factor in social.

Mindy Grossman

It is about that self-belief, that self-drive, that has got me to where I am now.

Harry Kane

I think if you start to think too much about things that are completely out of control, it will just drive you crazy as an actor.

Matt Bomer

There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love.

Stirling Moss

Nobody could like Donald Trump, surely, except his mother. No one really likes The Donald. But how can you not have respect for a guy who's been down on the floor and just keeps coming back? Nothing will keep Donald Trump down until they drive a wooden stake in his heart and a silver bullet in his brain.

Felix Dennis

Georgie,' he said. Then he kissed her. That was it, really. That was when she added Neal to the list of things she wanted and needed and was bound to have someday. That's when she decided that Neal was the person who was going to drive on those overnight trips. And Neal was the one who is going to sit next to her at the Emmys. He kissed her like he was drawing a perfectly straight line. He kissed her in India ink. That's when Georgie decided, during that cocksure kiss, that Neal was what she needed to be happy.
