| Taylor Swift | Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it's on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you've got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration. | 101 |
| Henri Nouwen | Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. | 101 |
| Ani DiFranco | I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No. | 101 |
| Billie Holiday | Sometimes it's worse to win a fight than to lose.  | 101 |
| Carl Hiaasen | Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because you're on the front lines. | 101 |
| Charles Barkley | Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while. | 101 |
| Charles Bronson | The fear really hits you. That's what you feel first. And then it's the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself. | 101 |
| Common | You have to be sincere in your feelings. And fear is one of those, sometimes; doubt is one of those; jealousy, anger - all your emotions are not going to be considered the strong emotions; all of them are not going to be love, happiness, joy. | 101 |
| Kevin Bacon | I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings.

| Laurence J. Peter | Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. | 101 |
| Regina Brett | Some days, 24 hours is too much to stay put in, so I take the day hour by hour, moment by moment. I break the task, the challenge, the fear into small, bite-size pieces. I can handle a piece of fear, depression, anger, pain, sadness, loneliness, illness. I actually put my hands up to my face, one next to each eye, like blinders on a horse. | 101 |
| William Congreve | Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. | 101 |
| Yochai Benkler | We suffered a terrible blow on 11 September 2001. We responded with fear and anger. A fight-or-flight response is adaptive in any species. For us, given our power, fight was the only response we could imagine. | 101 |
| Yusef Komunyakaa | I originally wanted to embrace the imagery and forthrightness of rap music. There are some interesting, dynamic voices in rap. But I find most of it irresponsible in its overt violence and commercialization of anger. As artists, we believe we can will action through language. If that's the case, we have to take responsibility for what we say. | 101 |
| Zack de la Rocha | Your anger is a gift. | 101 |
| David Harvey | There's a difference between an outburst of spontaneous anger, which doesn't have a political objective, and a more measured response that we saw in the Occupy Wall Street movement. | 101 |

| Joshua Oppenheimer | Denial, panic, threats, anger - those are very human responses to feeling guilt. | 101 |
| Leymah Gbowee | I always tell people, anger is like liquid. It's fluid, it's like water. You put it in a container and it takes the shape of that container. So many people you see in prison, unleashing war on their people, they are angry, and they take their anger and put it into a violent container. | 101 |
| Margo Jefferson | I think it's too easy to recount your unhappy memories when you write about yourself. You bask in your own innocence. You revere your grief. You arrange your angers at their most becoming angles. | 101 |

| James McGreevey | We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views. | 101 |
| Laurence Yep | As a child growing up in San Francisco in the 1950s, I sometimes met insults when I ventured outside of Chinatown or my neighborhood.

| Siouxsie Sioux | I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine, if you want - but also some sort of sadness, and plain mischief, of course. | 101 |

| Richard Savage | Anger is implanted in us as sort of sting, to make us gnash with our teeth against the devil, to make us vehement against him, not to set us in array against each other. | 101 |
| Adam Sedgwick | As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel, so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger; but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex. | 101 |
| Jodie Evans | I feel truth, beauty, love, grief, anger, intimacy & alive in my body... Women in the global south live in their bodies much more than we in the global north.

| Phyllis Diller | Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. | 102 |

| Karl A. Menninger | The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance. | 102 |
| Mehmet Oz | The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy. | 102 |

| Thylias Moss | Anger becomes limiting, restricting. You can't see through it. While anger is there, look at that, too. But after a while, you have to look at something else. | 102 |

| John Lee Hancock | I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted. | 102 |
| Eckhart Tolle | Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you. | 103 |
| Kurt Cobain | My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming.

| Stephen Hawking | People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining. | 103 |

| Henry B. Eyring | To find gratitude and generosity when you could reasonably find hurt and resentment will surprise you.

| Philip Roth | People are unjust to anger - it can be enlivening and a lot of fun. | 103 |

| Hari Kondabolu | I'm not like most comedians. I don't deal with just heckles - I'm also dealing with threats and anger. Here I am, a brown person on stage being quite blunt. I talk about white privilege; I talk about U.S. imperialistic practices; I talk about colonialism. I'm not saying things that are easy for people to laugh at. | 103 |
| Horace Silver | I personally do not believe in politics, hatred, or anger in my musical composition. | 103 |
| Jules Renard | It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say. | 103 |
| Linton Kwesi Johnson | Back in those early days when I began my apprenticeship as a poet, I also tried to voice our anger, spirit of defiance and resistance in a Jamaican poetic idiom. | 103 |

| David D. Burns | People who are prone to anxiety are nearly always people-pleasers who fear conflict and negative feelings like anger.

| David Horsey | Maybe it's stress or anger or adrenaline or disillusionment or a bullying nature or simple fear of getting killed themselves, but there is a problem if a cop cannot tell the difference between a menacing gangster and the far more common person they encounter whose life is a little frayed and messy. | 103 |
| Ellen Willis | As with fascism, the rise of Islamic totalitarianism has partly to do with its populist appeal to the class resentments of an economically oppressed population and to anger at political subordination and humiliation. | 103 |

| Peter Blair Henry | I'm generally slow to anger, quick to forgive, and I take in information before making decisions. So no matter how controversial the decision, my general demeanour is to put on white lab coat and gloves and look at the evidence, weigh the arguments and see what makes sense. | 103 |
| Billy Childish | We are not actually in charge of life, yet behave as if we are the masters of our own destiny. The realization of this fact is quite a hard one. The ridiculousness of our pomposity and presumption can only result in anger or humor. | 103 |
| Lucy Alibar | It absolutely helped - to write the father in both 'Juicy' and 'Beasts,' I had to see the whole story from his point of view. All of a sudden I understood more of what my own father must be going through - the fear, the frustration, the anger... the hope that he'll leave a legacy. | 103 |
| Terry O'Quinn | I don't think I could play a character that I couldn't relate to somehow. I'm not unfamiliar with frustration, anger, shame, helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration, that sense of unfairness, and multiply it. | 103 |

| Buchi Emecheta | A hungry man is an angry one. | 103 |
| Chris Hayes | Successful prime-time television of any genre produces some kind of emotional reaction in the viewers. There are a lot of different emotions to tap into. The emotion of the reward of discovery, the feeling of righteous anger, the feelings of pathos and sadness, or sentimentality of being moved by something. | 103 |
| David Simon | A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf, if it's for others deserving of your anger, your empathy. | 103 |

| George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax | Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one. | 103 |

| John F. Kerry | I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important. | 103 |
| Mary Kay Blakely | Our humor turns our anger into a fine art. | 103 |
| James Knowles III | I grew up here, and it's always been a very diverse community. So for people to come out and say that there's some long-standing anger or there's a history of racial tension is absolutely ridiculous. There's not a black-white divide in Ferguson. | 103 |
| Booker T. Washington | I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him. | 104 |
| Ford Frick | Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound. | 104 |
| Keith Miller | There never was a social change in America without angry people at the heart. | 104 |
| Petrarch | Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace. | 104 |
| Dallas Willard | Many churches are measuring the wrong things. We measure things like attendance and giving, but we should be looking at more fundamental things like anger, contempt, honesty, and the degree to which people are under the thumb of their lusts. Those things can be counted, but not as easily as offerings. | 104 |
| Nancy Friday | Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face, women have been trained to cut off anger. | 104 |
| David D. Burns | One of the most interesting things about the cognitive theory is the idea that anger and interpersonal conflict ultimately result from a mental con. In other words, you're telling yourself things that aren't entirely true when you're fighting with someone. | 104 |
| Edward Albert | Fear is the only true enemy, born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate. | 104 |
| Gautam Gambhir | I think the only time I show my emotions and anger is on the cricket field; otherwise, I've mellowed down. And with age, I think, with age you always end up mellowing down. | 104 |
| J. R. Moehringer | The greatest players use anger as fuel. Michael Jordan played every night with something like road rage. | 104 |
| Louis Nizer | When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself. | 104 |
| Nancy Garden | My writing books with positive gay characters has come more out of anger than anything else: anger at not having been able to find honest, accurate books about people like myself as a teen, books that show we're as diverse as straight people and that we can lead happy, healthy, productive lives just as straight people can. | 104 |
| Nathaniel Kahn | My father was my hero, and he died when I was 11. So, I really never experienced the kind of natural teenage rebellion or the anger at him. I never experienced those feelings as a young person. | 104 |
| Ntozake Shange | I started writing because there's an absence of things I was familiar with or that I dreamed about. One of my senses of anger is related to this vacancy - a yearning I had as a teenager... and when I get ready to write, I think I'm trying to fill that. | 104 |
| Tatum O'Neal | I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love. | 104 |
| Eddie Guerrero | Since the day I was born, wrestling has sustained me and my family. It's the way my father fed me; it's the way I feed my kids. More importantly, wrestling is my greatest release. It's been such a blessing for me. I can step into the ring and let it all go - all my anger, all my frustration, all my pain. | 104 |
| Maelle Gavet | Once in a while, I still witness occasionally sexist behavior and comments from men (which experience has taught me you should always deflect with humour rather than anger). Old habits die hard, after all, and it's unrealistic to expect dinosaurs to fall silent overnight. | 104 |
| Roger Clemens | Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It's not anger, it's motivation. | 104 |
| Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy | I'm generally quite an angry person, and I like to channel my anger toward something creative. | 104 |
| Toks Olagundoye | Having a sweet, wide-eyed, awkward character is more charming and allows for more range. If you come from anger, you're going to reach a ceiling very quickly. | 104 |
| Beny Steinmetz | It angers me that a timed, planned and paid smearing campaign is run against me in the press. | 104 |
| Daniela Bobadilla | In between shooting for 'Awake,' I was attempting to have my own pilot season. The audition for 'Anger Management' actually came during a week that I was already testing for a couple other shows and we weren't really letting any other shows into the mix. | 104 |
| Jim Lehrer | You want to see an angry person? Let me hear a cell phone go off. | 104 |
| Joe Greene | I do play football no-holds-barred. Any edge I can get, I'll take. I'd grab a face mask only in a fit of anger. Uncontrolled anger is damn near insane. | 104 |
| Abraham Cahan | Be modest, humble, simple. Control your anger. | 104 |
| Anthony Braxton | Everybody in America is angry about something. | 104 |
| Josh Silver | My tastes lean toward the more negative, angry and eclectic. | 104 |
| Andrew Marr | Verbally, I'm quite fast on my feet. I could embarrass or anger most people if I wanted to. | 104 |

| Mathieu Amalric | Sometimes with anger you can be much more dangerous than with skill. | 104 |

| Ralph Waldo Emerson | For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind. | 105 |
| Edward Everett Hale | Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately. | 105 |
| Erin Gruwell | Hoping they'd been inspired by the examples of Anne Frank and other teens who had turned negative experiences into something positive by writing about them, I handed out notebooks for my students to journal about their lives. There was some initial resistance. But then the stories poured out of them, full of anger and sadness. | 105 |
| James Thurber | Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness. | 105 |
| Josh Billings | Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute. | 105 |
| Ricky Williams | To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear. | 105 |
| Thucydides | Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger. | 105 |
| Tim Gunn | Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level. | 105 |
| Willie Mays | I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don't have a good life. | 105 |
| David Cross | If there are a couple of adjectives people use to describe me, anger is usually in there. I've never taken that as criticism. It's the way I naturally communicate. But I'm not faux-angry, like Lewis Black, or angry like a gun-toting crazy person. I'm just angry in a mild way - it's not like I'm going to do anything about it. | 105 |
| Howard Staunton | If either player abandon the game by quitting the table in anger, or in an otherwise offensive manner; or by momentarily resigning the game; or refuses to abide by the decision of the Umpire, the game must be scored against him. | 105 |
| Paddy Ashdown | Bosnia is under my skin. It's the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all; there was this sense of guilt, and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years. | 105 |
| Seth Meyers | The nice thing about anger is that, as an emotion, it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry. | 105 |
| Akhenaton | Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast, or murder thy friend. | 105 |
| Apollonius of Tyana | A man must fortify himself and understand that a wise man who yields to laziness or anger or passion or love of drink, or who commits any other action prompted by impulse and inopportune, will probably find his fault condoned; but if he stoops to greed, he will not be pardoned, but render himself odious as a combination of all vices at once. | 105 |
| Chris Cleave | The reason why I love people, and writing about them, is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions. | 105 |
| Christopher Darden | I did not think that I was angry, but clearly anger was reflected in my writing. I did not think that I had been affected emotionally, but it was clear from my writing that I was still very emotional about the trial some six months after it ended. | 105 |
| Edgar Rice Burroughs | Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts, but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed. | 105 |
| Jessica Raine | On stage, I find anger at the unfairness of the world easily. | 105 |
| Marie de France | Fairest and dearest, your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear; but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously. | 105 |
| Sigmar Gabriel | Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change, even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas, is a glaring injustice, which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it. | 105 |
| Shelley Berman | As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud, the anger is elevated, sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy. | 105 |
| Dave Pirner | I'm not 17 anymore. I still have some of the same sort of anger, but I have a sense of humor about it... a sense of being constructive with that anger. | 105 |
| Mickey Kaus | I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory. | 105 |
| Jeremy Stoppelman | There's simply anger over the accountability that Yelp brings and also this feeling of powerlessness because so much power is now being put in the hands of the consumer. But the important thing that gets lost with some of these business owners who are very upset with us is it's the whole picture that counts. | 105 |
| Jerrold Nadler | The forces that have worked hard to stoke populist anger against reform are the very ones that benefit from a health system which puts profits ahead of quality care for its patients. | 105 |
| Richard M. Nixon | You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates. | 106 |
| Berkeley Breathed | That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping, as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand, failure follows. The anger is OK, but it has to serve the interests of the heart, frankly. | 106 |
| Deborah Eisenberg | I'm a bit of an expert on anger, having suffered from it all through my youth, when I was both brunt and font. It's certainly the most miserable state to be in but it's also tremendously gratifying, really - rage feels justified. | 106 |
| Dylan Thomas | When one burns one's bridges, what a very nice fire it makes. | 106 |
| Frank Luntz | There are people still in the Republican Party that I believe practice the communication of anger, of disappointment, of regret, of pain, of sorrow, of suffering. That's not what the American people want to hear. | 106 |
| Keira Knightley | I don't think that you can fake warmth. You can fake lust, jealousy, anger; those are all quite easy. But actual, genuine warmth? I don't think you can fake it. | 106 |
| Ovid | Like fragile ice anger passes away in time. | 106 |
| Walter Savage Landor | The flame of anger, bright and brief, sharpens the barb of love. | 106 |
| Yuvraj Singh | When one is young, aspiring to play for the country, doing well, any hindrance, like injury or being out of form, can be frustrating and a cause of annoyance or even anger. But once you have a close encounter with death, you realise the real value of life. | 106 |
| Arlie Russell Hochschild | Each person's drive to overwork is unique, and doing too much numbs every workaholic's emotions differently. Sometimes overwork numbs depression, sometimes anger, sometimes envy, sometimes sexuality. Or the overworker runs herself ragged in a race for attention. | 106 |
| Courteney Cox | A lot of my humor does come from anger. It's like, you're not gonna pull one over on me - which is pretty much my motto anyways. | 106 |
| Monica Lewinsky | I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry some days. But I really have worked hard to put a lot of the anger and disappointment in the past. | 106 |
| Nadine Velazquez | I went to a girls' school, and it was awful. The combination of my teenage anger and their jealousy meant I was always getting into fights. There was a lot of pulling of hair and scratching of faces and rolling around on the floor. | 106 |
| Ndamukong Suh | A dirty player is somebody who ultimately is trying to hurt somebody. There's a huge difference. There's no gray in that. Like, you have no conscience, no nothing, no guilt. I don't have that mean streak in me. I don't play angry. It's not anger. | 106 |
| Sean Penn | Anger can be a problem, but it has tremendous potential, too. It's just figuring out what to do with it. | 106 |
| Tryon Edwards | To rule one's anger is well; to prevent it is better. | 106 |
| Barbara Deming | Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution. | 106 |
| Calvin Harris | I'm not angry, I'm not an angry person, but I do sometimes like playing with the perception of anger, as in pretending that I'm more angry than I actually am, and sometimes it works quite well. | 106 |
| Koren Zailckas | We are taught to believe it's bad to be angry, or at least it's not good. That's not the case all throughout the world. People are more open and not embarrassed about it. For instance in Paris, people believe Americans have a really unhealthy relation with anger. They think it's essential to get angry. | 106 |
| Luke Ford | Acting in anger and hatred throughout my life, I frequently precipitated what I feared most, the loss of friendships and the need to rely upon the very people I'd abused. | 106 |
| Sarah Bernhardt | He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor. | 106 |
| Scilla Elworthy | Wherever there is injustice, there is anger, and anger is like gasoline - if you spray it around and somebody lights a matchstick, you have an inferno. But anger inside an engine is powerful: it can drive us forward and can get us through dreadful moments and give us power. I learnt this with my discussions with nuclear policy makers. | 106 |
| Jason Ritter | I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I'm sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger, or I'd have to accept that it happened. | 106 |
| Lynn Nottage | If you lead with the anger, it will turn off the audience. And what I want is the audience to engage with the material and to listen and then to ask questions. I think that 'Ruined' was very successful at doing that. | 106 |
| Annabella Sciorra | I want to express myself to feel that what I feel is real. My joy, my pain, my anger. | 106 |
| Sarah Mlynowski | I watch a lot of teen TV and read a lot of YA novels. I also talk to teens whenever I can. There are cultural differences between when I was a teen and now, but emotions - anger, angst, love - are the same. | 106 |
| Johnny Ramone | For all my success with the Ramones, I carried around fury and intensity during my career. I had an image, and that image was anger. I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken. | 106 |
| Joanna Southcott | Another night, I dreamed I saw my father sweeping out the barn floor clean, and would not suffer the wheat to be brought in the barn. He appeared to me to be in anger. | 106 |
| John Avlon | The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger. | 106 |
| Aristotle | Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy. | 107 |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | The greatest remedy for anger is delay. | 107 |
| Zora Neale Hurston | Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear. | 107 |
| Ang Lee | Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done. | 107 |
| Curtis Jackson | I don't display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I've developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings. | 107 |
| Douglas Horton | While seeking revenge, dig two graves - one for yourself. | 107 |
| George Steiner | Books are in no hurry. An act of creation is in no hurry; it reads us, it privileges us infinitely. The notion that it is the occasion for our cleverness fills me with baffled bitterness and anger. | 107 |
| Justin Trudeau | A very powerful mechanism to get elected is to play on anger and pick those wedge issues. | 107 |
| L. Lionel Kendrick | Christlike communications are expressions of affection and not anger, truth and not fabrication, compassion and not contention, respect and not ridicule, counsel and not criticism, correction and not condemnation. They are spoken with clarity and not with confusion. They may be tender or they may be tough, but they must always be tempered. | 107 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind. | 107 |
| Sallust | All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike, friendship, anger or pity. | 107 |
| Terence | The anger of lovers renews their love. | 107 |
| Charles Simmons | Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool. | 107 |
| Taya Kyle | Many of us who have cars have felt some form of extreme anger at other drivers because we feel they have put us in harm's way. We might even envision ramming their cars or cutting them off in return, but do we actually do it? No, because the overwhelming majority of us never want to take another human life. | 107 |
| Thomas de Quincey | Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep. | 107 |
| Eduard Shevardnadze | But on second thought, after I decreed the state of emergency, I came to the conclusion that that was impossible to achieve without bloodshed because the street protesters were full of anger and nearly out of control. This is why I thought we needed to find another way out. | 107 |
| Libba Bray | We're comfortable with women in certain roles but not comfortable with women expressing anger or fully accepting their power. The most daring question a woman can ask is, 'What do I want?' | 107 |
| Lindsay Duncan | A certain amount of anger doesn't make us less empathetic, less humane, less loving. It just makes us real. | 107 |
| Agnes Obel | I don't have the feeling of being motivated by anger, revenge or frustration. | 107 |
| Michael Nutter | I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate. | 107 |
| Jon Katz | It's important to remember that the animals are not grieving with us. They're very accepting. They're not lying there thinking 'How could you do this to me? Why aren't you keeping me going?' Pets don't do the human things of guilt and anger and recrimination that we do. They come and go with great acceptance. | 107 |
| Roberta Flack | My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today's music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved. | 107 |
| Jack Henry Abbott | Imagine a thousand more such daily intrusions in your life, every hour and minute of every day, and you can grasp the source of this paranoia, this anger that could consume me at any moment if I lost control. | 107 |
| James Whitcomb Riley | The anger of a person who is strong, can always bide its time. | 107 |
| Clint Eastwood | We boil at different degrees. | 108 |
| Robin Williams | For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see. | 108 |
| Dane Cook | Anger has a way of seeping into every other emotion and planting itself in there. | 108 |
| Kay Redfield Jamison | Psychologists, for reasons of clinical necessity or vagaries of temperament, have chosen to dissect and catalog the morbid emotions - depression, anger, anxiety - and to leave largely unexamined the more vital, positive ones. | 108 |
| Nhat Hanh | We are looking for happiness and running after it in such a way that creates anger, fear and discrimination. So when you attend a retreat, you have a chance to look at the deep roots of this pollution of the collective energy that is unwholesome. | 108 |
| Rose Kennedy | Make sure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night's sleep, and you can't settle anything until morning anyway. | 108 |
| Warren Farrell | Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered. | 108 |
| Beverly Sills | Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance. | 108 |
| Cat Power | After my second-to-last record, 'The Greatest', I had gone on tour for a while, and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically. | 108 |
| Dave Mustaine | I guess because I had such a horrible life growing up, going from place to place not knowing what I was gonna do and ending up being homeless, there was a lot of pain and a lot of anger that was coming out through my guitar playing. | 108 |
| Eddie Bernice Johnson | Our second phase was to develop a school curriculum that teaches tolerance, respect for differences, conflict resolution, anger management, and other attributes of peace. | 108 |
| George William Curtis | Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge. | 108 |
| Grace Kelly | Getting angry doesn't solve anything. | 108 |
| Kelly McGillis | For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn't. I denied that it had affected me, and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured. | 108 |
| Lillian Hellman | My father was often angry when I was most like him. | 108 |
| Lincoln Chafee | Anger's not a good emotion. | 108 |
| William Shenstone | Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world. | 108 |
| Bruce Nauman | Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished. | 108 |
| Bryant Gumbel | Your emotions are exposed when you play golf: humility, pride, anger, it all comes out with each swing. You lay it all on the line. | 108 |
| David Soul | I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested, but I went into a diversion programme, and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment. | 108 |
| Ricky Jay | Like every art form, there are jealousies and angers and competitiveness in magic. But there's camaraderie among magicians, whether you perform it for a living or you're an enthusiast. | 108 |
| Mary Doria Russell | If somebody honks a horn in Cleveland, they're saying 'Hi.' It's so rare to be honked at in anger. When we have merging traffic, we just interweave. There's real courtesy. | 108 |
| Caleb Carr | I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from. | 108 |
| Antony Starr | I had a job when I was 15 working at a supermarket, and I knocked over a stack of plastic coffee cups. In my anger, I threw one at a concrete wall, and it rebounded back into my head and cut my head open. Stupidest way to get a scar, but it's one that I have. | 108 |
| Dave Thomas | The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame... the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi. | 108 |
| Michael Richards | I'm really busted up over this and I'm very, very sorry to those people in the audience, the blacks, the Hispanics, whites - everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through. | 108 |
| Buddha | You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. | 109 |
| Saint Augustine | What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels. | 109 |
| Carl Hiaasen | My humour has always come from anger, but I have to make sure I don't just get angry and jump on a soapbox. | 109 |
| Cory Booker | You have to understand the Newark Riots - a lot of people understand that the pain was the initial explosion of anger and alienation, but after that, the response, sending the National Guard troops - a lot of violence was carried out and perpetrated by those who were allegedly coming here to protect residents. | 109 |
| Fran Drescher | Life is precious and there's not a lot of room for anger. | 109 |
| Joseph Joubert | The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk. | 109 |
| Louis L'Amour | Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him. | 109 |
| Mary J. Blige | When you hold on to anger and unforgiveness, you can't move forward. | 109 |
| Nicole Kidman | You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do. | 109 |
| Paul Singer | Imagine how much capital a country like Argentina might attract - if instead of defaulting seriatim and affecting a pose of anger toward creditors, it borrowed responsibly and honored its obligations. | 109 |
| Theodore Isaac Rubin | Sometimes the routes leading to feelings of anger are so convoluted and circuitous that it takes enormous skill to discern their original source, or fountainhead. But regardless of the reason for or the source of the anger or the relative ease or complexity in perceiving either the anger or its source - everybody, but everybody, gets angry. | 109 |
| Thomas a Kempis | Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. | 109 |
| Maajid Nawaz | I was filled with hate and anger. But during my trial, something decisive happened: Amnesty International adopted me as a prisoner of conscience, and it was an unbelievable feeling to know that there is someone fighting for you on the outside. Amnesty's 'soft' approach made me seriously consider alternatives to revenge. | 109 |
| Rupert Graves | It's interesting when you're in your thirties and you're not the same pretty boy that you were when you were 21. I think people's anger at themselves getting older is projected on to you because you become a symbol of that. | 109 |
| Andrew Shue | When you start suppressing feelings at an early age, it hurts you down the road. Full expression of anger and pain is very important. | 109 |
| Billy Gardell | The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly, and, once you figure it out, you think, 'Hey, if I can do this and get paid, that would be kind of cool.' | 109 |
| Chen-Ning Yang | In the final analysis, the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within. | 109 |
| Clare Short | That feeds anger, and I mean when we went and at last thank heavens got towards peace in Northern Ireland we went for justice within Northern Ireland as well as using security well, as well as a political settlement, but surely that is the lesson. | 109 |
| Matthew Goode | Golf courses are beautiful, it's good for the soul and it gets out the anger... well, if you don't care about the score then you won't have a heart attack. | 109 |
| Daniela Bobadilla | On 'Awake,' we would take a couple hours per scene. Whereas on 'Anger Management,' we can take maybe 10 minutes on a scene if we're lucky. | 109 |
| Jon Crosby | I guess lyrically they're similar because they're talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. 'The Last One Alive,' for me, is very simple. It's just about alienation, really, that causes anger. | 109 |
| Ariel Dorfman | You can survive with anger, but you can't live with it forever. | 109 |
| Mark Z. Danielewski | Anger is one way to respond to fear. I say one way because responses are categorically multiple. | 109 |
| Isaac Asimov | Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. | 110 |
| Jane Goodall | Words can be said in bitterness and anger, and often there seems to be an element of truth in the nastiness. And words don't go away, they just echo around. | 110 |
| Alfred A. Montapert | Every time you get angry, you poison your own system. | 110 |
| Elizabeth Wurtzel | People who think that Sylvia Plath was a poor, sensitive poet are not getting that she had great amounts of ambition and anger that moved her along, or she wouldn't have been able to fight against that depression to produce such an incredible body of work by the age of thirty. | 110 |
| Harrison Ford | I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of. | 110 |
| Bernadine Dohrn | I was shocked at the anger toward me. | 110 |
| Colum McCann | The further away we got from 9/11, the more I wanted to find some way to recover. I wanted to talk about the more anonymous corners of the city, because I think it's very important that not all of that anger was turned to revenge. | 110 |
| Nigel Mansell | The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger. | 110 |
| Paula Cole | For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again. | 110 |
| Bob Hoskins | I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally, we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women. | 110 |
| Danny Glover | I was able to do To Sleep with Anger, a very powerful film about African Americans, their spirituality, and the things that happened within a small community and a family. | 110 |
| Tony Greig | Us investigators who went out into the field were faced on occasion with a lot of anger, by people saying why has it taken you five or six year to come and see me? | 110 |
| Rebecca De Mornay | It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying. | 110 |
| Indra Nooyi | When you assume negative intent, you're angry. If you take away that anger and assume positive intent, you will be amazed. Your emotional quotient goes up because you are no longer almost random in your response. | 111 |
| Ellie Goulding | It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down, but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head. | 111 |
| Frank Rich | Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed. | 111 |
| Frederica Mathewes-Green | Of the seven deadly sins, anger has long been the one with the best box of costumes. When the guy in the next car rages at you, he's dangerous. When you rage at him, you're just. We can usually recognize the results of anger, especially in others, as destructive and evil. | 111 |
| Howard Dean | People have said I'm the candidate of anger. Well, we have a right to be angry. We lost 3 million jobs. We lost our place as the moral leader of the world. | 111 |
| Karen Salmansohn | Basically, it's in your best mental interest to release your anger so you can see the world more clearly around you and seek better solutions for finding the happy, love-filled life you desire and deserve. | 111 |
| Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel | Religion can emerge in all forms of feeling: here wild anger, there the sweetest pain; here consuming hatred, there the childlike smile of serene humility. | 111 |
| Kevin Rudd | Something my mum taught me years and years and years ago, is life's just too short to carry around a great bucket-load of anger and resentment and bitterness and hatreds and all that sort of stuff. | 111 |
| Kirk Hammett | Metallica is like the phoenix rising from the ashes. We set everything on fire, and this is what has risen from it - 'St. Anger' being the fire and 'Death Magnetic' being the phoenix. | 111 |
| Mahavira | Anger begets more anger, and forgiveness and love lead to more forgiveness and love. | 111 |
| Margaret J. Wheatley | In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together. | 111 |
| Patty Murray | Violence is a problem we all want to solve. I want to make sure that kids learn to deal with anger by learning how to talk with people to solve problems. Here in the United States Senate I want to make sure we have safe schools, safe neighborhoods and good things for kids to do after school! | 111 |
| Warren Farrell | Boys with a 'failure to launch' are invisible to most girls. With poor social skills, the boys feel anger at their fear of being rejected and self-loathing at their inability to compete. | 111 |
| Yusef Komunyakaa | Through the years I have seen myself as a peaceful person, but the awareness of the anger is part of that process. | 111 |
| Philip Hammond | There is a real sense of anger among many people who are married that the government, any government, thinks it has the ability to change the definition of an institution like marriage. | 111 |
| Tom Lantos | Insurgents have capitalized on popular resentment and anger towards the United States and the Iraqi government to build their own political, financial and military support, and the faith of Iraqi citizens in their new government has been severely undermined. | 111 |
| Cameron Sinclair | It angers me when sustainability gets used as a buzz word. For 90 percent of the world, sustainability is a matter of survival. | 111 |
| Thomas Jefferson | When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred. | 112 |
| Toni Morrison | I get angry about things, then go on and work. | 112 |
| William Arthur Ward | It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses. | 112 |
| Muhammad Yunus | Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. | 112 |
| Naomi Campbell | Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness. | 112 |
| Barry Eisler | Anger, and the self-righteousness that is both the cause and consequence of anger, tends to be easier on the psyche than personal responsibility. | 112 |
| Duane Michals | I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized. | 112 |
| Emmitt Smith | I've learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger, release frustration. | 112 |
| Jeremy Taylor | If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury; if from a small cause, it is peevishness; and so is always either terrible or ridiculous. | 112 |
| Ron Fournier | Shock, confusion, fear, anger, grief, and defiance. On Sept. 11, 2001, and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public's whipsawing stages of acceptance. | 112 |
| Clive Sinclair | Tel Aviv is buzzing with so much life, you could bottle it and sell it as honey, and even Jerusalem has a certain fizz. But if you want to see anger, go to Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem on a Friday afternoon. | 112 |
| Thiruvalluvar | It is good to forget one's anger against one's wrongdoer, whoever he may be, for countless number of evils will quickly grow from this anger. | 112 |
| Cedric Richmond | It's something that black men still go through to this day, which is women clutching their purses, hitting the lock button on store, or just basic attitudes. And even as a U.S. congressman, as a black man, it is very, very frustrating, and you build up an internal anger about it that you can't act on. | 112 |
| Caleb Carr | I get in trouble when I say things like, 'I'm attracted to violence.' I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from. | 112 |
| Michael Che | It's true - my mother kicked me out the house at 14. I had to go live with my sister. I had some problems. I was very rebellious as a kid. I don't even know why or where it came from, but I had a lot of anger. Me and my mom clashed a lot because she didn't tolerate that, as she shouldn't from a 14-year-old. | 112 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up. | 113 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | The five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. | 113 |
| Gary Oldman | My passion and energy get mistaken for anger. | 113 |
| Geoff Mulgan | One effect of an individualistic culture that's poor at instilling mutual respect is that people jump more quickly to anger or violence. | 113 |
| Orhan Pamuk | I would be pleased if someone would invent a pill to remove my impatience, moodiness, and occasional bursts of anger. But if they did, I wouldn't be able to write my novels or paint. | 113 |
| Oriana Fallaci | I am a danger to myself if I get angry. | 113 |
| Samuel L. Jackson | I'm not as angry as I used to be. But I can get in touch with that anger pretty quickly if I feel my space is being invaded or somebody is not treating me with the respect that I think I want. | 113 |
| Yoko Ono | I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive. | 113 |
| Chaz Bono | Deep down, my mom had long suspected I was gay... Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told. | 113 |
| Josh Homme | I don't think it's good to run on anger, but it's really great when that's the first couple of gallons in your tank - when you've had enough, and you're just pissed off enough to go for it. In a lot of ways, that sort of environment can be a catapult for a great situation. | 113 |
| Rosamund Pike | Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it's a very honest emotion. | 113 |
| Betty Williams | The thing that started the peace movement in Ireland was anger - my anger. It wasn't anger; it was fury. | 113 |
| Daniela Bobadilla | I get really angry when I get hungry. If you don't feed me, I won't talk to you. That's when my anger issues come out. | 113 |
| Jakob Bohme | God's love-eye does not see essentially into the wicked rebellious apostate soul; neither also into the devil, but his anger-eye sees thereinto; that is, God, according to the property of the anger or fire of wrath, sees in the devil, and in the false soul. | 113 |
| Benjamin Franklin | Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. | 114 |
| Christina Aguilera | I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt. | 114 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | It is important to feel the anger without judging it, without attempting to find meaning in it. It may take many forms: anger at the health-care system, at life, at your loved one for leaving. Life is unfair. Death is unfair. Anger is a natural reaction to the unfairness of loss. | 114 |
| Francis Quarles | Anger may repast with thee for an hour, but not repose for a night; the continuance of anger is hatred, the continuance of hatred turns malice. | 114 |
| James Russell Lowell | Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. | 114 |
| Pete Townshend | I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion. | 114 |
| Wilson Mizner | All anger is not sinful, because some degree of it, and on some occasions, is inevitable. But it becomes sinful and contradicts the rule of Scripture when it is conceived upon slight and inadequate provocation, and when it continues long. | 114 |
| Crystal Bowersox | I'm not sure why there's this anger in the youth, but we need to talk about it. Kids need to get help if they need help, and bullies need to be helped as well. | 114 |
| Park Chan-wook | I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well. | 114 |
| Wilfred Burchett | My anger with the US was not at first, that they had used that weapon - although that anger came later. | 114 |
| Jay Alan Sekulow | What if you threw a protest and no one showed up? The lack of angst and anger and emotion is a big positive. | 114 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. | 115 |
| Nikos Kazantzakis | One of man's greatest obligations is anger. | 115 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath. | 115 |
| Diana Ross | So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me, because I'm happy that I have them; I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside, like anger. | 115 |
| Lisa Marie Presley | I do like to write nasty songs. It's a useful weapon to have, and it's cathartic as well, because I create art out of anger, something positive out of something negative. | 115 |
| Sydney J. Harris | If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size? | 115 |
| Beverly Sills | My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. | 115 |
| Robert South | Anger is a transient hatred; or at least very like it. | 115 |
| Roseanne Barr | Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you're feeling festive? | 115 |
| Rosalind Wiseman | So many women keep their anger inside and let it build until they explode and then people blow them off again. | 115 |
| Clare Short | And we know there has been horrendous loss of life and suffering and we know that there is anger. Anyone who came anywhere near the general election in constituencies with a substantial Muslim population knows that. | 115 |
| Jakob Bohme | Christ hath instituted Baptism as a bath, to wash away the anger, and hath put into us the Noble Stone, viz. the water of eternal life, for an earnest-penny, so that instantly in our childhood we might be able to escape the wrath. | 115 |
| Richard M. Nixon | Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects. | 116 |
| Karen Salmansohn | Often, overeating is a way to punish yourself for the anger and resentment you're feeling - either at yourself or someone else. | 116 |
| Publilius Syrus | An angry man is again angry with himself when he returns to reason. | 116 |
| Sallust | All who consult on doubtful matters, should be void of hatred, friendship, anger, and pity. | 116 |
| Clarissa Pinkola Estes | When you feel bad, find a person to talk to and cry with, to tell of your anger and other helpless feelings. | 116 |
| Ellen Barkin | But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that. | 116 |
| Jacqueline Bisset | At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger. | 116 |
| Seymour Cassel | If you're an actor, and you're selfish and not strong, it's difficult to maintain a good personal life or a solid career, and I was selfish and had a lot of anger that went way back. | 116 |
| Brene Brown | First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see. | 117 |
| Krista Tippett | Fear usually looks like anger. | 117 |
| Nicola Adams | Anger is an unnecessary emotion. Loads of stuff in life can trigger it, but what matters is how you react. I choose not to react. | 117 |
| Nina Easton | Public anger over bank bailouts was as much about fairness as the billions of dollars spent. | 117 |
| Vanilla Ice | I use the music to vent, and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety, stress and depression, so that's how the album came out so dark. | 117 |
| Peter Abrahams | A man can submit today in order to resist tomorrow. My submission had been such. And because I had not been free to show my real feeling, to voice my true thoughts, my submission had bred bitterness and anger. And there were nearly ten million others who had submitted with equal anger and bitterness. | 117 |
| Blanche Lincoln | My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience, knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior, but should be based on the facts. | 117 |
| Dominic Cooper | I suppose there's an anger in all of us. Some hidden rage that you keep at bay. | 117 |
| Koren Zailckas | I think what I learned in research is that as Americans, we're very distrustful of anger. We're not sure if we should repress it. The idea that anger is supposed to be controlled is American, and we try to keep it out of our homes. | 117 |
| Daniela Bobadilla | I feel like everything comes into your life for a reason. With 'Awake,' I got to do a drama, and with 'Anger Management,' that's my comedy. | 117 |
| Daniel Webster | Keep cool; anger is not an argument. | 118 |
| Karen Salmansohn | Since I began my practice of Forgiveness Therapy, it's now instinctual for me to choose to eat like I love myself - instead of eating like I wanted to punish myself. Plus I've not only lost weight, I've lost the anger and anxiety I was feeling, and so I feel happier and calmer within. | 118 |
| Martha Beck | Self-pity, a dominant characteristic of sociopaths, is also the characteristic that differentiates heroic storytelling from psychological rumination. When you talk about your experiences to shed light, you may feel wrenching pain, grief, anger, or shame. Your audience may pity you, but not because you want them to. | 118 |
| Ta-Nehisi Coates | My father was so very afraid. I felt it in the sting of his black leather belt, which he applied with more anxiety than anger, my father who beat me as if someone might steal me away, because that was exactly what was happening all around us. | 118 |
| Albert Brooks | I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it. | 118 |
| Natalie Martinez | I usually get all my stress and anger out at the gym. But when I get out, I'm kind of a pleasant person - really. | 118 |
| Randi Weingarten | Throughout my career as a lawyer, teacher and labor leader, books have remained my constant companion - stuffed into a briefcase, overflowing on my bedside table, stacked on my desk at work. Books have carried me to distant worlds, opened new doors and made me feel empathy, compassion, anger, fear, joy, acceptance - and everything in between. | 118 |
| Terry Glavin | It was less in pity than in anger that the world was moved by the photograph of little Alan Kurdi, that dead three-year-old Syrian refugee boy whose name we're all remembering now on the first anniversary of his drowning, along with his five-year-old brother Galip and their mother Rehanna. | 118 |
| Tory Lanez | I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger. | 118 |
| Jim Webb | I believe anger is a wasted emotion, and I don't like to waste emotions. | 118 |
| Koren Zailckas | I think, for one, we have to really accept that anger is a normal human emotion that can be a positive force for change. | 118 |
| Ani DiFranco | Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll; women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant. | 119 |
| Carl Sandburg | Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. | 119 |
| Edward Abbey | Love implies anger. The man who is angered by nothing cares about nothing. | 119 |
| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness; anger concealed often hardens into revenge. | 119 |
| Pope Paul VI | Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest. | 119 |
| William Congreve | Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight. | 119 |
| Yancy Butler | I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control. | 119 |
| Bob Feller | Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them. | 119 |
| Helen Garner | It's very shocking, I think, for people caring for the dying to realise how unsaintly they feel, how much anger is mixed up with their grief. In fact, often I think the anger that they feel is a form of grief; it's a kind of raging against what's happening. | 119 |
| Lou Ferrigno | I have a lot of anger about my childhood - being hard of hearing and my relationship with my father. | 119 |
| Mike Nichols | I asked a shrink: 'Everything is so great. Why am I still so angry?' He said, 'Anger doesn't go away.' I always thought it was kind of a good engine. | 119 |
| Brian Sutton-Smith | I feel playful aggression is important for children because they have to deal with all kinds of anger and aggression in their lives. | 119 |
| Donna Rice | I also had to work through the violation of my date rape, my unhealthy relationships with men, my anger toward the people involved in the scandal, and those who exploited me afterwards. | 119 |
| Alanis Morissette | When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs. | 120 |
| B. C. Forbes | He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him. | 120 |
| K'naan | I have moments of darkness, of anger, and moments of rage. They do creep up at the most inopportune times. Not to recognize that in my music would give people a sense of sainthood that I don't necessarily have or even want to have. | 120 |
| Lindsey Vonn | I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked. | 120 |
| Milan Kundera | He took over anger to intimidate subordinates, and in time anger took over him. | 120 |
| Rachel Maddow | I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational, but I don't think that translates into anger. | 120 |
| Saint Francis de Sales | There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust. | 120 |
| Amanda Lindhout | Sometimes, you have to make the choice to forgive 10 times a day when you have these pockets of anger come up. That's a lot of work, but to me it's worthwhile. | 120 |
| Lauren Groff | There aren't very many good models of feminine rage - and the ones that we remember are ones where women take that anger internally and implode themselves in a real way, like Anna Karenina or Emma Bovary. | 120 |
| Conor McGregor | I don't feel bitterness, I don't feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me. | 121 |
| Wayne Dyer | There's nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively. | 121 |
| Athol Fugard | Nobody can take what I love away from me. I would like to believe that love is the only energy I've ever used as a writer. I've never written out of anger, although anger has informed love. | 121 |
| Bodhidharma | The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion. | 121 |
| Dick Dale | I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul. | 121 |
| Fiona Apple | My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry? | 121 |
| Jack Canfield | Words, especially when yelled in anger, can be very damaging to a child's self-confidence. The child probably already feels bad enough just from seeing the consequences of his or her behavior. Our sons and daughters don't need more guilt and self-doubt heaped upon their already wounded egos. | 121 |
| Kathleen Troia McFarland | Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop. | 121 |
| Lukas Forchhammer | My biggest influence is rap. It spoke to me, probably because of my upbringing in Christiania. You listen to 'The Chronic' and you can hear that anger and frustration. | 121 |
| Matt Taibbi | What we Americans go through to pick a president is not only crazy and unnecessary but genuinely abusive. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in a craven, cynical effort to stir up hatred and anger on both sides. | 121 |
| Joe Lieberman | I share the anger, but, ultimately, to govern this country, it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people. | 121 |
| Jakob Bohme | We are children of the eternity: But this world is an out-birth out of the eternal; and its palpability taketh its original in the anger; the eternal nature is its root. | 121 |
| Confucius | When anger rises, think of the consequences. | 122 |
| Wayne Dyer | What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it's because that's what's inside. | 122 |
| J. R. R. Tolkien | Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. | 122 |
| Andy Serkis | I do have anger management issues. Not clinical. Probably no more than most people. | 122 |
| Francois Hollande | I am not deaf. I hear the anger. I see the dissatisfaction, and I have to go faster. | 122 |
| Horace | The one who cannot restrain their anger will wish undone, what their temper and irritation prompted them to do. | 122 |
| King Krule | I've got rid of a lot of cynicism and anger. I feel positive about my development, and I just want to carry on making music and building myself as a person. | 122 |
| Brandon Flowers | Dance music cannot compete with a really great rock n' roll song. There ain't no DJ that's gonna play something that can take 'Mr Brightside' or 'Don't Look Back In Anger.' | 122 |
| Christine Quinn | Being an activist is about getting things done. It's not about standing around shaking your fist in anger. | 122 |
| Francis Bacon | A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green. | 123 |
| Barbara De Angelis | The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present. | 123 |
| Lynn Coady | Anger is one of those emotions that doesn't follow the letter of the law. It speaks before it thinks. It rears up on its hind legs and charges. | 123 |
| Tommy Lee | I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever. | 123 |
| Grace Jones | If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline. | 123 |
| John Berger | Protest and anger practically always derives from hope, and the shouting out against injustice is always in the hope of those injustices being somewhat corrected and a little more justice established. | 123 |
| Nate Robinson | I've seen my mother struggling, everything that she did to raise me and my brothers and my sisters, and I know the anger that she went through. | 123 |
| Adam Hamilton | I think anger is a normal response to something horrible that someone has done, another human being has done, and to rob people of life, and that's actually healthy to have, to feel that. At some point you have to figure out, 'How do I let that go?' | 123 |
| Buddha | Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. | 124 |
| Dalai Lama | Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute. So that view is very helpful to maintain a peace of mind because the main destroyer of a peaceful mind is anger. | 124 |
| Marcus Aurelius | How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. | 124 |
| Victoria Osteen | Remember, if you want to love your life and live it to the fullest, don't let the sun go down on your anger. If you don't have a solution to the issue, agree to disagree and focus on the importance of the relationship. | 124 |
| Gary Zukav | We are becoming able to see the pursuit of external power for what it is and the futility of trying to escape the pain of powerlessness by changing the world. When we look inward, not outward, we can dismantle the parts of our personalities that have controlled us for so long - such as anger, jealousy, vindictiveness, superiority, inferiority. | 124 |
| Lynn Coady | When you're not sure your anger is justified, the thing to do is ask yourself exactly where it's coming from. | 124 |
| Manny Pacquiao | Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. | 124 |
| Marlee Matlin | I want roles without anger and feistiness. I want to show weakness and sadness, some love, some happiness. | 124 |
| Saint Ambrose | Let there be a door to thy mouth, that it may be shut when need arises, and let it be carefully barred, that none may rouse thy voice to anger, and thou pay back abuse with abuse. | 124 |
| Vince Cable | On banks, I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies, while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer. There is much public anger about banks and it is well deserved. | 124 |
| Laura Wasser | Like the marriage contract you entered into, your divorce is a legal transaction. Treat it that way. Try not to let emotion, hurt, fear or anger dictate the circumstances of your discussions or negotiations. | 124 |
| Reba McEntire | The upside to anger? Getting it out of your system. You got to express your anger. Then you have room for more positive things. If I hold something in a long time, and then I speak it, it's amazing how the light shines so much brighter. | 125 |
| Eric Alterman | Whether one agrees or disagrees with the tactics of the Occupy Wall Street movement, it's easy to understand the inspiration for its anger as well as its impatience. | 125 |
| Lukas Forchhammer | When you get frisked by the police at the age of 10, and they empty your schoolbag out in the street and kick your books around and calling you names because of where you live, you just get an anger towards everyone who is outside of your neighborhood. | 125 |
| Jackson Katz | Whether one admired or was repulsed by the positions he took on matters foreign and domestic, it is undeniable that Reagan's ability to project anger was highly attractive to his most passionate supporters on the far right - and crucial to his political success. | 125 |
| Baltasar Gracian | Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong. | 126 |
| Karl Rove | And I think there's something about conservatives frankly - and the Left, when it comes to their channels of persuasion, are unpersuasive. They are, most of them are hate-filled, obscenity-clogged rants of anger and hatred. | 126 |
| Khaled Hosseini | In Afghan society, parents play a central role in the lives of their children; the parent-child relationship is fundamental to who you are and what you become and how you perceive yourself, and it is laden with contradictions, with tension, with anger, with love, with loathing, with angst. | 126 |
| Margaret J. Wheatley | When we can lay down our fear and anger and choose responses other than aggression, we create the conditions for bringing out the best in us humans. | 126 |
| Obie Trice | The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour. | 126 |
| Sallust | He that will be angry for anything will be angry for nothing. | 126 |
| Douglas Alexander | Of course we need to show we are a genuine alternative to an unpopular, Conservative-led government. But we need to set ourselves a higher standard than a party offering anger like UKIP. | 126 |
| Robin Gibb | As the plane got closer to Miami, I had this terrible feeling he was dying. Maybe he was telling me that he was going. I felt anger, panic, despair and helplessness. | 126 |
| Langston Hughes | Violent anger makes me physically ill. | 201 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | In Israel, waves of anger and fear circulate all the time, but so do jokes and gossip and silky evening breezes. So, too, in America. | 201 |
| Charlie Sheen | I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love. | 201 |
| Ingmar Bergman | The anger and the creativity are so closely intertwined with me, and there's plenty of anger left. | 201 |
| Albert Brooks | All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger, because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other. | 201 |
| Mimi Kennedy | Since the time of Richard Nixon, there has been a strange lack of will in the media to identify the real cause for Americans' anger at politicians who fall, publicly and spectacularly. | 201 |
| D. H. Lawrence | The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just. | 202 |
| Alanis Morissette | We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration. | 202 |
| Janet Fitch | A lot of people think they should be happy all the time. But the writer understands you need both. You need the whole piano: the richness of the whole human experience. Depression, suffering and anger are all part of being human. | 202 |
| Chris Pine | We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional. | 203 |
| Louis D. Brandeis | Behind every argument is someone's ignorance. | 203 |
| Max Lucado | It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism. | 203 |
| Peter Benchley | We are already perilously close to killing off the top of the oceanic food chain - with catastrophic consequences that we can't begin to imagine. Let us not, in the heat of anger, reduce the already devastated population of great white sharks by one more member. | 203 |
| Thomas Fuller | There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart. | 203 |
| John Dryden | Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten. | 203 |
| Alana Stewart | I resisted writing a book for a long time because I didn't want to invade anyone else's privacy or hurt anyone or anger anyone. | 203 |
| Jessye Norman | There's no anger ever in a spiritual. There's always the dream of a hope of a better day coming. That God understands the troubles that I'm experiencing. | 203 |
| Jane Goodall | As I'm traveling around, I meet many small children. And when I look at a small and think how we've harmed this beautiful planet since I was that age, I feel a kind of desperation, anger, shame. I don't know what I feel; I just don't know what the emotion is. | 204 |
| Paul Ryan | President Obama clearly cannot run on his record. All he's offering is more of the same. That's not good. Look at the economy. It's stagnating. And so, what they're now going to try and do is bring this campaign down to little things, distractions, distortions, smear, fear, anger, frustration. | 204 |
| Sherman Alexie | In high school I dated a white woman. She would come to visit me on the rez. And her dad, who was very racist, didn't like that at all. And he told her one time, 'You shouldn't go on the rez if you're white because Indians have a lot of anger in their heart.' | 204 |
| Dave Davies | I wasn't a very academic kid, and music was the way for all that feeling and angst and sex and love and anger to be channelled. | 204 |
| Tasha Smith | I was a confused young girl with so much tragedy. Sometimes when you're going through stuff, the last person you're thinking exists is God. I mean, it was my confusion, the anger that was in my heart, all that drama. But thank God I know God now, okay? | 204 |
| Dick Cavett | Unpleasant reading on the subject of anger tells us that there's not really anything wrong with it. In limited amounts. It can even be a good thing. A pressure valve. | 205 |
| Gary Oldman | Growing up in a particular neighborhood, growing up in a working-class family, not having much money, all of those things fire you and can give you an edge, can give you an anger. | 205 |
| George Herbert | Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy. | 205 |
| Mark Kirk | I would say that I definitely became much more religious. They say there are no atheists in foxholes, and this stroke put me into a very deep foxhole. Yet that feeling of faith sustained me, so I have no feelings of anger or regret. | 205 |
| Andrew Vachss | Ours is a country where anything can be accomplished if enough people get angry... because, in America, we act on our collective anger. | 205 |
| George Eliot | Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love. | 206 |
| Arundhati Roy | The Occupy movement found places where people who were feeling that anger could come and share it - and that is, as we all know, extremely important in any political movement. The Occupy sites became a way you could gauge the levels of anger and discontent. | 206 |

| Phyllis Diller | My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual. | 207 |
| Carly Fiorina | I think Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme; it's common sense. We need to secure the border. | 207 |
| Margot Robbie | Being irrational and out of control is what happens in real life. Not cautiously choreographing your anger or your emotions, losing yourself in them is what happens in real life. | 207 |
| Iyanla Vanzant | Pain is pain, hurt is hurt, fear is fear, anger is anger, and it has no color. | 208 |

| Martin Seligman | The best therapists can do with sadness, anger, and anxiety is to help patients live in the more comfortable part of their set range. | 208 |
| Julian Baggini | Anger clearly has its proper place at work, which is neither wholly absent nor ever present. The manager who is an emotional blank is just as hard to work for as the volcanic boss, and both can do great harm by setting an unhelpful example for what kind of emotional expression is expected and accepted. | 208 |
| Mike Barnicle | What is forgiveness? An emotion? A coping mechanism? An element of deepest faith? A way for the heart and soul to combat the type of hate, anger, rage and a thirst for revenge that could ultimately consume a person? All of those and more? | 208 |
| Bob Marley | If you get down and quarell everyday, you're saying prayers to the devil, I say. | 209 |
| Elizabeth Warren | Pundits talk about 'populist rage' as a way to trivialize the anger and fear coursing through the middle class. | 209 |
| Ricky Martin | Before I came out, I had a lot of anger. For years people would ask, 'How are you doing?' and I'd say, 'Good, fine.' It's show business, and that's what you have to show. | 209 |
| Mohsin Hamid | When terrorism strikes, divisive anger is a natural response. | 209 |
| Jesse Jackson | I'm too mature to be angry. | 210 |

| Diane Kruger | Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration. | 211 |
| Mickey Rourke | I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise. | 211 |
| Benjamin Franklin | Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one. | 212 |
| Bryant H. McGill | You reclaim your power by loving what you were once taught to hate. | 212 |
| Chris Crutcher | If you're writing about angry people, you use the language of anger. If you're writing about desperate people, you use the language of desperation. | 212 |
| Patrick Swayze | I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised. | 212 |
| Ann Nocenti | Green Arrow has gone through so many changes; he's been right-wing, he's been left-wing, he's been rich, he's been poor, he's been a social justice guy, then when I got him, he was a rich playboy guy. So it was a lot harder to get into a character that has so many personas in the past, and I just looked at his anger. | 212 |
| Gloria Steinem | Anger is energising. The opposite of anger is depression, which is anger turned inward. | 213 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work. | 213 |
| Eddie Murphy | Every now and then, when I think about it, I think, 'What would I even talk about onstage?' It's never been, 'I wonder if I'm funny. I wonder if I can come up with jokes.' It's more, 'What would it be like without the leather suit and the anger?' | 213 |
| Gary Oldman | I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him. | 213 |
| Naftali Bennett | I have not one shred of anger in my heart against Netanyahu or his wife. | 213 |
| Buddha | In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. | 214 |
| Richard M. Nixon | What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance. | 214 |
| Baltasar Gracian | Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose. | 214 |
| Henry B. Eyring | It is a lie that our anger justifies our impulse to hurt or ignore our antagonists. We are to forgive to be forgiven. To wait for them to repent before we forgive and repent is to allow them to choose for us a delay which could cost us happiness here and hereafter. | 214 |
| Sachin Tendulkar | I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating. | 214 |
| Tim O'Brien | I could feel my moral compass as a soldier, in danger of - I could feel the squeeze, the pressure of frustration and anger and fear combining on me... I felt the danger; I felt the squeeze of it. | 214 |
| John Dryden | The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves. | 214 |

| Confucius | Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods. | 215 |
| Ben Carson | In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter. | 215 |
| Bernie Siegel | The spiritual message is we lose our lives in pleasing others; if you're the good child who pleases Mommy and Daddy but internalizes anger, you're setting yourself up for disease. | 215 |
| Geoff Mulgan | Democracy isn't solely about polite conversations in parliaments. It needs to be continually refreshed with raw passions, anger and ideals. | 215 |
| Horace | Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger. | 215 |
| Yair Lapid | Freedom of expression is tested during times of anger and conflict and enables all opinions and outraged expressions of dissent that we may not want to hear. But even for this there have to be limits. | 215 |
| Jessica Lange | All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment. | 216 |
| Maajid Nawaz | Hizb ut-Tahrir spearheaded the radicalization of the 1990s and cultivated an atmosphere of anger. | 216 |
| Dalai Lama | Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain. | 217 |
| Kevin Bacon | I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic. | 217 |
| Kirk Hammett | It really shocked me just to hear of the fans' response to 'St. Anger' not having guitar solos. | 217 |
| Zach Galifianakis | I understand Tea Partyers' anger with the system, but they are in way over their heads and often racially motivated, and I can't be part of that. | 217 |
| Henri Nouwen | Solitude is the place where we can connect with profound bonds that are deeper than the emergency bonds of fear and anger. | 218 |
| Woody Harrelson | We don't get the greatest tools to deal with anger. It's like, 'Hey, count to 10.' When someone really upsets me, how do I respond? I don't usually start counting to 10 and breathing deeply. | 218 |
| Martin Luther | When I am angry I can pray well and preach well. | 219 |
| William Butler Yeats | One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end. | 219 |
| Emma Stone | I had a trainer during 'Spiderman,' and I discovered I have deep-seated rage when I'm holding heavy weights over my head. Whatever dormant anger I have in me, that's where it comes out. That's not the kind of working out I want to do. | 219 |
| Gary Zukav | Caregiving requires the intention of love, caretaking requires the intention of fear. Not acting in anger when you are angry requires the intention of love. | 219 |
| Nancy Gibbs | Emotional life grows out of an area of the brain called the limbic system, specifically the amygdala, whence come delight and disgust and fear and anger. | 220 |

| Andy Kindler | When I played a club in Salt Lake City, I complained to the crowd about the low turnout. It's always good to berate the people who paid to see you because you're upset about the people who didn't show up. It's called misplaced anger, and without it, I wouldn't have an act. | 220 |
| B. B. King | I don't like anybody to be angry with me. I'd rather have friends. | 221 |
| Horace | Anger is a short madness. | 221 |
| Mel Gibson | Religion and politics hit nerves. There's a lot of anger about a lot of things. It's not easily resolved. I guess that's what wars are about. Wars are about prejudice and fear. Hit first before you get hit. Believe me, I know. | 221 |
| Mother Angelica | When our neighbor's personality possesses harsh qualities, we show our love by not voluntarily provoking those qualities in any way. Past experience shows us what upsets a person, so in their presence we are careful not to do or say those things that cause anger. We are self-effacing. | 221 |
| Publilius Syrus | The bare recollection of anger kindles anger. | 221 |
| Kurt Cobain | My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I've had. And now that I'm in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won't be half as much anger as there was. | 222 |
| Alan Alda | I'm an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger. | 222 |
| Peter Hook | You look at 30 Seconds to Mars, and you don't think, 'Ooh, I bet they're angry.' No one really does anger these days. I suppose it's a turn-off. | 223 |
| Dalai Lama | Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering. | 224 |
| Wayne Dyer | The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do. | 224 |
| Marcus Tullius Cicero | Hatred is inveterate anger. | 224 |
| Alanis Morissette | When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman. | 225 |
| Debbie Ford | Anger, if used properly, might be for a cause, like helping feed children or stopping abuse somewhere. When we understand that every quality has importance and value, then we open up to this. Shining a light on these shadow qualities gives it balance. | 225 |
| Malcolm Gladwell | The injunction to be nice is used to deflect criticism and stifle the legitimate anger of dissent. | 225 |
| Nhat Hanh | Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre, and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. | 225 |
| Tracy Morgan | I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place. | 225 |
| Tracy Morgan | Listen, Bruce Lee fought out of anger. That's why they call it the 'Fists of Fury.' Michael Jackson danced with fury. I do stand up out of fury. I'm not mad at anybody. I'm not mad at any human being because I'm a human being. | 226 |
| Zach Galifianakis | As you get older, you see the world at a different angle, maybe more cynically, but I just bury my anger. | 226 |
| Ayman Odeh | Eventually, I moved from a place of anger toward the Jews of Israel toward a place of embrace. | 226 |
| Martha Beck | Allowing children to show their guilt, show their grief, show their anger, takes the sting out of the situation. | 301 |
| Tim Daly | No one's banging down my door. People see the way I look, and they don't feel threatened, but they should watch out for me. They don't know there's a steel rod that drives me. I get ticked off, and the rage just gets me going. My motor is anger. | 301 |
| Francis Bacon | Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor. | 302 |
| Terry Pratchett | Anger is wonderful. It keeps you going. I'm angry about bankers. About the government. | 302 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. That is a dualistic way of seeing. | 302 |
| Charles Krauthammer | The Internet is a cauldron of anger every day, every year, election year or not, with unemployment at 10 percent or at two percent. It isn't exactly a good index of what's happening. | 302 |
| Anurag Kashyap | I've become a lot more tolerant; I think before I talk. I can take a lot now. I don't get as angry as I used to. Whenever I do, I channel my anger into my work. | 303 |
| Mario Cuomo | The biggest aggravation in the Arab world, the biggest reason for their anger toward us and the creation of those suicide terrorists, is Israel and the difficulty with the Palestinian issue. | 304 |
| Albert Einstein | Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. | 305 |
| Elie Wiesel | I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason. | 305 |
| Jesse Jackson | Many are observing Ferguson and witnessing the anger, demonstrations, looting and vandalism and calling for quiet. But quiet isn't enough. The absence of noise isn't the presence of justice - and we must demand justice in Ferguson and the other 'Fergusons' around America. | 306 |
| Bill Flores | We do have our challenges. Some things don't always work right in Washington, and the anger you see from the electorate, I think, is a reflection of what's not working right. | 306 |
| Marcus Aurelius | Anger cannot be dishonest. | 307 |
| Epictetus | When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. | 307 |
| Charles Bukowski | Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence. | 307 |
| Jerry Seinfeld | Well, all comedy starts with anger. You get angry, and its never for a good reason, right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there. | 307 |
| Paul McCartney | George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money. | 307 |
| Hillary Clinton | Extremism thrives amid ignorance and anger, intimidation and cowardice. | 308 |
| James Dyson | Anger is a good motivator. | 308 |
| Michael Caine | My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you. | 311 |
| Monica Crowley | When the Left agitates over government policies, it's considered righteous anger. When the Right - and much of the center - agitate, it's painted as the rantings of the criminally and violently insane. | 311 |
| Stephen Kinzer | Relationships based on deals between leaders or ruling elites tend to collapse amid popular anger. | 311 |
| John Ruskin | He that would be angry and sin not, must not be angry with anything but sin. | 312 |
| Elizabeth Esty | We want to take the energy surrounding the Sandy Hook anniversary that might otherwise be consumed by grief or anger - or this week in San Bernardino by fear - and channel some of that to honor our common humanity and love each other. | 312 |
| Wayne Dyer | One of the greatest lessons of my own life was learning to turn the inner rampage of hatred and anger toward my own father for his reprehensible behavior and abandonment of his family into an inner reaction more closely aligned with God and God-realized love. | 313 |
| Nora Ephron | I have now been married to my third husband for more than 20 years. But when you've had children with someone you're divorced from, divorce defines everything; it's the lurking fact, a slice of anger in the pie of your brain. | 313 |
| Nora Ephron | One good thing I'd like to say about divorce is that it sometimes makes it possible for you to be a much better wife to your next husband because you have a place for your anger - it's not directed at the person you're currently with. | 314 |
| Henry Rollins | To anger female voters in America is to tread on the tiger's tail. Women turn out in huge numbers, and they are well aware of how their bodies work and what they need. | 316 |
| Ashton Kutcher | My mom's whole side of the family, they're all Packers fans. My mom's a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly. My mom sits upstairs watching the Bears game; he sits in the basement. They can't watch it together. Football's a violent anger in our family dynamic. | 316 |
| George Foreman | I started a youth center in Houston. The kids would come in and want to learn to box; they wanted to tear up the world, beat up the world. And I'd try to show them they didn't need anger. They didn't need all that killing instinct they'd read about. You can be a human being and pursue boxing as a sport. | 316 |
| Willie Nelson | I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have. | 316 |
| Albert Brooks | I made my living in comedy, but I'm not a silly person. I've got all these sides to me. Even in my movies that I've written myself, the characters sometimes border on great anger or nutsiness or other kinds of behavior. I'm not just doing fart jokes for two hours. | 316 |
| Margo Jefferson | What's often not acknowledged about depression is how much anger is in it. | 316 |
| Colin Powell | It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?' | 317 |
| Gore Vidal | I think I have a normal threshold of anger, but it's true that I am, by nature, belligerent. | 317 |
| Mother Angelica | When anyone arouses my anger, I will immediately pray for them and regain my peace of soul. | 317 |
| W. Somerset Maugham | The world in general doesn't know what to make of originality; it is startled out of its comfortable habits of thought, and its first reaction is one of anger. | 317 |
| Marilyn Manson | When you want to die, you at least have a goal. You're aiming for something. It's not a good goal, but at least you want something. And you've got anger and fear, but at least you're feeling something. | 318 |
| John McAfee | An angry people cannot create anything that is not imbued with anger. | 318 |
| Maurice Sendak | In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood, there's an anger. | 318 |
| John Hurt | The difference between anger and deep remorse - remorse is much fatter. It's a deeper feeling altogether. Anger is too easy an escape for my money. | 318 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | Hatred is an affair of the heart; contempt that of the head. | 319 |
| Gerry Cooney | Boxing was a way to express my anger. All of a sudden, I was expressing anger, and I was good at it. I was like a Jekyll and Hyde. Boxing helped me because I was fighting the anger out. I was knocking guys out. | 319 |
| Theresa May | I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues. | 319 |
| Mark Twain | Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. | 320 |
| Ben Shapiro | President Obama and members of his administration constantly express rage and anger over events totally within their control. It's an odd and unsettling fact of American life that so many Americans seem to think that such expressions of frustration should substitute for actual competence. | 322 |
| Julian Baggini | One reason why it has become harder to promote the beneficial side of emotions such as anger is that the moral vocabulary of good and bad has been replaced by the self-help lexicon of positive and negative thinking. | 322 |
| Dalai Lama | As a human being, anger is a part of our mind. Irritation also part of our mind. But you can do - anger come, go. Never keep in your sort of - your inner world, then create a lot of suspicion, a lot of distrust, a lot of negative things, more worry. | 323 |
| Henry Ward Beecher | A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good. | 324 |

| Mark Twain | When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear. | 325 |
| Ovid | Fair peace becomes men; ferocious anger belongs to beasts. | 325 |
| John Niven | The Clash had a unique, special relationship with Scotland. Perhaps it was something to do with the energy, anger and beauty in their music. In Scotland at that time, there was a lot of to be angry about. And a great need of some energy and beauty. | 325 |
| Dalai Lama | I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console. | 326 |
| Joel Edgerton | Fighting in the ring or cage is very much different from fighting in the street. Fighting in the street is very much fueled by anger, pride, and male dominance and ego. | 326 |
| Alanis Morissette | It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen. | 402 |
| Michael Franti | When I first started, my songs were the politics of anger. As I got older and hopefully wiser, I wanted to be part of the politics of answers. | 402 |

| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall. | 404 |
| Eminem | The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate. | 406 |

| Marianne Williamson | The ego mind both professes its desire for love and does everything possible to repel it, or if it gets here anyway, to sabotage it. That is why dealing with issues like control, anger, and neediness is the most important work in preparing ourselves for love. | 406 |
| Drew Barrymore | My therapist says I still haven't got in touch with my anger. Maybe one day I'm going to explode. But I'm still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing - all those experiences led me to the paths that I'm on now. | 409 |
| Karen Salmansohn | If your partner is angry with you, recognize that his anger is a misdirected plea for love. Your partner's simply upset because he feels something you said or did was a sign of not loving him enough. | 412 |
| Thomas Fuller | Anger is one of the sinews of the soul. | 412 |
| Maya Angelou | Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean. | 413 |

| Alice Walker | You know how big love is? Love is big. love can hold anger; love can even hold hatred. | 413 |
| Helen Fisher | When you fight, anger drives up testosterone in both men and women. | 413 |
| John McAfee | Governments are composed of human beings, and all of the frailties that humans possess are absorbed into these governments and become active within these governments. Hatred, anger, jealousy, fear, greed, distrust and the whole host of afflictions that humans must bear, lurk just beneath the surface of civility displayed by 'government.' | 415 |
| Pete Hamill | The most powerful force in American politics is not anger, it's nostalgia. | 418 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop. | 420 |
| John Burroughs | The dog is often quick to resent a kick, be it from man or beast, but I have never known him to show anger at the door that slammed to and hit him. Probably, if the door held him by his tail or his limb, it would quickly receive the imprint of his teeth. | 420 |
| Gerry Cooney | Boxing gave me a voice to express the anger I felt for where I came from. | 421 |
| Albert Brooks | Even in my comedies, I don't take anger as a joke. I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it. One of the things I like about a character: I always think it's fascinating when a character can turn on a dime and go from one emotion to another. I like watching that. | 505 |
| Trent Reznor | I'm very much aware of the dangers of becoming a cliche. Mr. Anger, someone who gets meaner, angrier on record. | 506 |
| Robert Kennedy | Yesterday, we fought wars which destroyed cities. Today, we are concerned with avoiding a war which will destroy the earth. We can adapt atomic energy to produce electricity and move ships, but can we control its use in anger? | 507 |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it. | 510 |
| Martha Beck | Anger elicits anger, fear elicits fear, no matter how well meaning we may be. | 511 |
| Alanis Morissette | What influenced me was Tori Amos, who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music, and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.' | 512 |
| Alanis Morissette | Anger has been a really big deal for women: how can we express it without feeling that, as the physically weaker sex, we won't get killed. The alpha-woman was burned at the stake and had her head chopped off in days of old. | 516 |
| Douglas Coupland | I think that to acknowledge a new generation is to acknowledge some degree of obsolescence in yourself, and that is very hard to do and often comes with undeniable anger. | 518 |
| Donald Trump | Obama and his attack dogs have nothing but hate and anger in their hearts and spew it whenever possible. | 519 |
| Martin O'Malley | When you create an economy where you subsidize corporate profits through a welfare program and food stamps in order to keep wages low in some perverse pursuit of 'competiveness,' than you reap the fruits of the anger that you sow. | 521 |
| Tom Stoppard | Chekhov was capable of casually tossing off deplorable comments in his letters, combined with a very modern anger against anti-Semitism. | 524 |
