Our aggression is a deep instinct which survives in all kinds of manifestations in modern man.

I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.

Aggression is inherently destructive of relationships. People and ideologies are pitted against each other, believing that in order to survive, they must destroy the opposition.

Aggression is something that is a part of me, and I'm never going to take that out of my game.

Women find men attractive who are aggressive... but later on, they get worried that that aggression, that alpha energy, is going to be turned back against them and their children.
