Quotes
There are two quotes that I’ve heard recently in my life that really get me jazzed. If they click with you, then you’ll know why I think they’re related to poker. If not, then just enjoy them.
From the West Wing’s Toby Zeigler, speaking of the President’s role in our country:
The man [presidential candidate] in that job shouldn’t have to be presented with {an offer to run for president]! It’s for someone who grabs it and holds on to it, for someone who thinks the gods have conspired to bring him to this place, that destiny demands of him this service! If you don’t have that kind of drive, that hubris, how in the hell are you going to make the kind of decisions that stump every other person in this country? How in the hell are you going to hold that kind of power in your hand?!
And from Tyler Durden in Fight Club:
We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
Yes the last one was brought to my attention from an interview with Jeff Madsen (two WSOP bracelets in 2006).
