An arrogant independence to create is my only motivation.

Selden Rodman, Conversations With Artists, 1957David Smith
The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
How much motivation are they going to get by putting a quote from me on the wall saying that I believe in my football team [...] If that's where you're going to draw motivation from, hell, we'll probably kick your (butt).
Rex Ryan
People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused. I don't make demands. I don't tell you how it should be. I'll give you f**king options, and it's up to you to select or throw 'em away. That should be the headline: If you're insecure, don't f**king call.
Russell Crowe
No one is more dangerous than someone who thinks he has "The Truth". To be an atheist is almost as arrogant as to be a fundamentalist. But then again, I can get pretty arrogant.
Tom Lehrer
"On the 10th day of October, Fiji achieved nationhood in the fullest sense of that term. There was no declaration of independence on her part, since independence was freely given. There was simply a grateful acceptance of the independence that was offered, and a dedication to the tasks that lay ahead and she became the master of her own destiny and assumed her place in the world family of Nations."
