quotations about aggression
Aggression is how a player stamps their authority on the opposition. It's about intent. It's about power and dominance. The way a scrum locks horns in rugby. The grunt in a tennis forehand. The way Tiger's driver recoils off his back when he hits flat out. It is decisiveness, pace, strength, and commitment.

Let's start with the way men reportedly police women's speech in tech offices. 84 percent of women were told that they were too "aggressive," which, if you don't get why that's sexist, just imagine a man being called aggressive and it not being a compliment.

Aggression is simply another name for government. Aggression, invasion, government, are interconvertible terms. The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control. He who attempts to control another is a governor, an aggressor, an invader; and the nature of such invasion is not changed, whether it is made by one man upon another man, after the manner of the ordinary criminal, or by one man upon all other men, after the manner of an absolute monarch, or by all other men upon one man, after the manner of a modern democracy.
