As Robert Moses became more ruthless, accomplishing his projects became his overriding priority, and he was willing to destroy anyone who obstructed him.

“He has to use it. If he ha- if he has a weakness, he's going to use it. He's going to get things done. There's a hardening,”

“an increased ruthlessness, where the only thing that matters is to get the thing done. Anyone who stands in his way, if Moses has to destroy him, he'll destroy him.”
