Interesting, I found this quote very appropiate here, specially because its meaning is quite ambiguous to me. And so are the times we are living in the EU. For instance, given Varoufakis's resignation, we could interpret the man in different ways: 1) As a person who chose not to be in the arena(in TR's words). 2) A man who was already in the arena but already failed while daring greatly. 3) A man who was already in the arena and arrived at triumph of high achievement, by allowing the Greek people to challenge the Troika with a referendum. And his resignation is just another triumphal move. I do agree tho that filling comment threads with open-to-interpretation quotes is not very constructuve. Still one here one there can make the issue less black and white - which is good IMHO.
