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.
— Leymah Gbowee

I have sadness in me. I have anger in me. I have heartbreak in me.

— Nell Hudson

Literature is always about bygone times. It’s always looking back in time with a certain perspective. I look at bygone life which no longer exists, and as I said, I look at it without nostalgia but without anger, either. I look at it with criticism and with compassion. I look at it with curiosity.
— Amos Oz

— Tim Daly

I am not deaf. I hear the anger. I see the dissatisfaction, and I have to go faster.
— Francois Hollande

— Bill Bailey

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.

— Michelle Alexander

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.

— Gary Oldman

The injunction to be nice is used to deflect criticism and stifle the legitimate anger of dissent.

— Drew Fuller

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.

— Scilla Elworthy

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.

Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
— Helen Fisher

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.

— Kameron Hurley

— Ingmar Bergman

When the mid-’70s came around, it looked like, ‘Oh-oh, here come the punks.’ But if you look closely at The Who and The Kinks, the anger and the frustration is there… There is, within me, just the same social discontent as I go through my career. But to be typecast as a singer of peace and love is fine.
— Donovan

Anger is an emotion, not a compass.

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.

— Francis Bacon

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.
— Jane Goodall

— Robert Byrne

— Reba McEntire

My mom was funny and nutty. I suppose she had to be to survive raising 10 kids. To cope and keep a cap on things, she kept us buoyant and harmonious. She wouldn’t let us express anger, which later on landed me in therapy but also made it easier for me to play laid-back, measured roles.
— Tony Shalhoub

What the media misses is the amount of anger that’s out there. Trump didn’t create that.

All through life I’ve harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.
— Jessica Lange

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.

— Mark Kirk

So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.

— Nora Ephron

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.
— Lukas Forchhammer

In ‘Hope Never Dies’, the fictional Obama and Biden go up against drug traffickers, outlaw bikers, and other seedy opponents. They’re forced to use skills they didn’t know they had. Or, to put it another way, unlike Jordan Peele’s Obama, this Obama doesn’t need an anger translator.

— Gore Vidal

I’m free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.

— David D. Burns

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.

As you get older, you see the world at a different angle, maybe more cynically, but I just bury my anger.

He took over anger to intimidate subordinates, and in time anger took over him.

I had lived with my mother in anger and love – I suppose most daughters do – but my children only knew her in one way: As the lady who thought they were smarter than Albert Einstein.

I hate losing and I think it’s good to feel a stab of anger if it happens.
— James Haskell

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.
— Ben Carson

And there were nearly ten million others who had submitted with equal anger and bitterness.
— Peter Abrahams

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.
— Hari Kondabolu

There is a latent anger in a lot of people that went to boarding school at an early age. I was eight. And I loved it over the five years, but I think the adjustments for eight-year-olds are a lot. And I think it informs who you are for a long, long time.
— Damian Lewis

I am just sorry my own mother had to live under that regime for most of her life. I was lucky. I got out and, 14 years later, Czechoslovakia became a free country. So I feel anger, even fury, at this bloody system that ruined so many people’s lives for no reason whatsoever.
— Martina Navratilova

Eventually, I moved from a place of anger toward the Jews of Israel toward a place of embrace.
— Ayman Odeh

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.
— Jeremy Stoppelman

I find there’s this weird anger thing: Someone will approach me at the bar and say, ‘Hey, can I buy you a drink?’ And I’ll say, ‘No, I’m okay.’ And then all of a sudden, there’s this male anger flip, where they go, ‘Oh, you know what? I wasn’t even gonna buy you a drink, ’cause you’re not even that cute anyway,’ and walk away.

— Rose McGowan

Boxing gave me a voice to express the anger I felt for where I came from.
— Gerry Cooney

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.
— Alanis Morissette

I’m this generic, ambiguous scapegoat for white people to call me a race traitor and take out their hostility on. And I’m a target for anger and pain about white people from the black community. It’s like I am the worst of all these worlds.

Democracies are slow to anger and hesitant to go to war: Voters don’t want to sacrifice their children for the glory of a selfish king.
— Michio Kaku

— Jesse Jackson

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.

Fear generates anger, and fear generates violence, and those were part of what built the Saudi state.
— Robert Lacey

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?’
— Eddie Murphy

— Vic Mensa

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.
— Albert Brooks

Abstract anger is great for rhetorical carrying on. You can go on endlessly about the post office, but it doesn’t mean you’re mad at your mailman.
— P. J. O’Rourke

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.

I’m generally quite an angry person, and I like to channel my anger toward something creative.
— Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

How do you redefine love when your idea of love is something that’s so violent? When your idea of passion is anger, how do you fix that?

— Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

— Hamza Yusuf

Between ‘St. Anger’ and ‘Death Magnetic,’ we had, if I’m not mistaken, five kids born. And, of course, that would allow things to take time.
— Robert Trujillo

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.
— Seth Meyers

You don’t have to say something directly to affect someone. You can make a piece of music without words that can capture a feeling of tragedy or struggle or anger or triumph. It’s the translation of the human experience into another form.
— El-P

Learning how to center and control anger, fear, sadness, weakness and learning how to channel that into something smart, cerebralizing it, meditating on it and then moving into it with wisdom – that’s important.

— Anurag Kashyap

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.
— Jon Katz

An angry people cannot create anything that is not imbued with anger.
— John McAfee

Some emotions are essential to law and to public principles of justice: anger at wrongdoing, fear for our safety, compassion for the pain of others, all these are good reasons to make laws that protect people in their rights.
— Martha Nussbaum

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.
— Ricky Jay

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

— David D. Burns

I think everybody should have the same anger towards the injustice that’s happening and the hatred that’s happening, and just fight it with love and compassion.

— Dave Mustaine

Many churches are measuring the wrong things.

Those things can be counted, but not as easily as offerings.
— Dallas Willard

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.

I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.
— John Lee Hancock

— Adam Sedgwick

Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts, but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.

— Jason Ritter

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.

— Rowan Williams

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.
— Jon Crosby

— Dick Dale

— Donna Rice

— Eduard Shevardnadze

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.
— Shelley Berman

The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant, and I’ve seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.
— Dominic Chianese

— Paddy Ashdown

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.
— Barbara Deming

— Tom Lantos

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.
— Clare Short

— Sarah Bernhardt

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.
— Thylias Moss

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.

— Eric Alterman

In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There’s a cruelty to childhood, there’s an anger.
— Maurice Sendak

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.
— Ricky Williams

I’ve learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger, release frustration.
— Emmitt Smith

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.
— Berkeley Breathed

My humour has always come from anger, but I have to make sure I don’t just get angry and jump on a soapbox.
— Carl Hiaasen

— Sherman Alexie

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.
— Paul Ryan

Anger’s not a good emotion.
— Lincoln Chafee

I had a lot of anger because I wasn’t happy with the way I had been raised.
— Patrick Swayze

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.

I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.
— Pete Townshend

I was shocked at the anger toward me.
— Bernadine Dohrn

Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change.

— Sigmar Gabriel

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.
— Kelly McGillis

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.
— 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.
— Alanis Morissette

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.
— Warren Farrell

I’m not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
— Theresa May

Anger elicits anger, fear elicits fear, no matter how well meaning we may be.
— Martha Beck

It is typical of women to fester and ferment over disappointments, slights, annoyances, angers, etc.

— Ron Fournier

The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can’t seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it’s my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
— Kathy Griffin

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.
— Ellen Barkin

Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.
— Diane Kruger

I have some anger issues.
— Bryan Cranston

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.
— Lucy Alibar

I’ve always turned my anger inwards towards self-destruction.
— Mackenzie Phillips

So many women keep their anger inside and let it build until they explode and then people blow them off again.
— Rosalind Wiseman

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.
— Terry O’Quinn

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.
— Albert Brooks

I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
— Albert Brooks

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.
— Michael Nutter

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.’
— Billy Gardell

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.
— Frank Rich

I think people should be angry at things that are worthy of anger. Injustice is outrageous and deserves outrage.
— 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.
— Chris Hayes

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.
— Cat Power

Pain is pain, hurt is hurt, fear is fear, anger is anger, and it has no color.
— Iyanla Vanzant

— Linton Kwesi Johnson

— Colum McCann

The death of Garang has unfortunately unleashed emotions of anger; some genuine, others cultivated by elements who wanted to pit one group of Sudanese against another.
— Salva Kiir Mayardit

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.
— Philip Hammond

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.
— Lynn Nottage

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.
— Gary Zukav

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it’s pretty much trivialized.
— Duane Michals

Anger is one way to respond to fear. I say one way because responses are categorically multiple.
— Mark Z. Danielewski

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.
— Matt Taibbi

When terrorism strikes, divisive anger is a natural response.
— Mohsin Hamid

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.
— Ntozake Shange

The anger and the brutality against everything can readily from one hour to the next be transformed into its opposite.
— Thomas Bernhard

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.
— Matthew Goode

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.
— Yusef Komunyakaa

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.
— Joe Greene

Verbally, I’m quite fast on my feet. I could embarrass or anger most people if I wanted to.
— Andrew Marr

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.
— Arundhati Roy

Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
— Manny Pacquiao

I don’t think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.
— Tommy Lee

I’m very much aware of the dangers of becoming a cliche. Mr. Anger, someone who gets meaner, angrier on record.
— Trent Reznor

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.
— Ricky Martin

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.
— Woody Harrelson

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.
— David Cross

Democracy isn’t solely about polite conversations in parliaments. It needs to be continually refreshed with raw passions, anger and ideals.
— 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.
— Geoff Mulgan

When you fight, anger drives up testosterone in both men and women.
— Helen Fisher

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.
— Jackson Katz

It really shocked me just to hear of the fans’ response to ‘St. Anger’ not having guitar solos.
— Kirk Hammett

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.
— 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.
— Julian Baggini

I know I should feel anger at my father for certain things. But since he died when I was 11, I never got to that point.
— Nathaniel Kahn

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.
— Gautam Gambhir

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.
— Ashton Kutcher

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.
— David Harvey

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.
— Rupert Graves

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.
— George Steiner

One of the interesting things about comedy is it’s tension release, and nothing creates tension faster than anger.
— Lewis Black

My first reaction every time I delve into an episode of history that I don’t know very much about is… my first reaction is anger that my teachers never taught me about it.
— Steven Spielberg

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.
— Athol Fugard

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.
— Nadine Velazquez

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.
— Kirk Hammett

Anger can be a problem, but it has tremendous potential, too. It’s just figuring out what to do with it.
— Sean Penn

I want roles without anger and feistiness. I want to show weakness and sadness, some love, some happiness.
— Marlee Matlin

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.
— Alanis Morissette

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later. 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.
— Alanis Morissette

My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You’ve got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.
— Michael Caine

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.
— Michael Franti

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.
— Toks Olagundoye

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

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.
— Dick Cavett

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.
— Bernie Siegel

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.
— Monica Crowley

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.
— Amanda Lindhout

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.’
— Brandon Flowers

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.
— Mike Nichols

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.
— P. J. O’Rourke

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.
— Laura Wasser

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.
— Frederica Mathewes-Green

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.
— Sarah Mlynowski

Anger, and the self-righteousness that is both the cause and consequence of anger, tends to be easier on the psyche than personal responsibility.
— Barry Eisler

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.
— Jerrold Nadler

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.
— 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.
— Jakob Bohme

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.
— Yochai Benkler

Vengeance is the act of turning anger in on yourself. On the surface it may be directed at someone else, but it is a surefire recipe for arresting emotional recovery.
— Jane Goldman

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.
— Dave Pirner

There’s a reason why anger, fear, and hatred are paths to the dark side: they all spring from a single source – the same source as a certain flavor of love. A dangerously sweet, addictive flavor.
— Matthew Stover

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.
— Elizabeth Wurtzel

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.
— Erin Gruwell

Relationships based on deals between leaders or ruling elites tend to collapse amid popular anger.
— Stephen Kinzer

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.
— Martha Beck

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.
— Nathaniel Kahn

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.
— 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.
— 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.
— 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.
— Daniela Bobadilla

On stage, I find anger at the unfairness of the world easily.
— Jessica Raine

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.
— Koren Zailckas

I do think anger is so difficult for women. Girls think it undermines their femininity; it’s not very ladylike.
— 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.
— Koren Zailckas

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?’
— Libba Bray

Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it’s a very honest emotion.
— Rosamund Pike

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.
— Nancy Gibbs

Those at the top would do better with a smaller share of a booming economy that elicits a positive politics than they will do with an ever-larger share of an anemic economy that fuels the politics of anger.
— Robert Reich

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.
— Ellen Willis

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.
— Crystal Bowersox

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.
— Dave Davies

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.
— Ndamukong Suh

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.
— Natalie Martinez

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.
— Helen Garner

Ours is a country where anything can be accomplished if enough people get angry… because, in America, we act on our collective anger.
— Andrew Vachss

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.
— Kay Redfield Jamison

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.
— Paul Singer

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.
— Mary Doria Russell

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.
— Arlie Russell Hochschild

I do have anger management issues. Not clinical. Probably no more than most people.
— Andy Serkis

Pundits talk about ‘populist rage’ as a way to trivialize the anger and fear coursing through the middle class.
— Elizabeth Warren

I’ve written for the last 15 years on TV shows, but now I’m doing the new Charlie Sheen program, ‘Anger Management.’
— Brian Posehn

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.
— Mimi Kennedy

A very powerful mechanism to get elected is to play on anger and pick those wedge issues.
— Justin Trudeau

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.
— Andy Kindler

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.
— Chris Crutcher

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.
— Victoria Osteen

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.
— Seymour Cassel

When trying to start a company, your enemy isn’t criticism, anger or insults. Your enemy is apathy.
— Gil Penchina

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.
— Alana Stewart

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.
— Douglas Alexander

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.
— David Horsey

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.
— Carly Fiorina

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. Not as distracted by patriarchy’s controlling images – They know power is in their bodies. I am deeply grateful for the women who showed me the way home.
— Jodie Evans

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.
— Deborah Eisenberg

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.
— Clive Sinclair

The thing that started the peace movement in Ireland was anger – my anger. It wasn’t anger; it was fury.
— Betty Williams

Public anger over bank bailouts was as much about fairness as the billions of dollars spent.
— Nina Easton

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.
— Maajid Nawaz

The idea that the law should punish what is rude; that government should protect our tender sensibilities from those who would – quite often with shallow motivations but sometimes with deeper and more serious complaints – challenge our national certainties and rituals, should alarm and anger us.
— Nick Harkaway

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.
— Apollonius of Tyana

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.
— Lynn Coady

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.
— Ann Nocenti

In one sense, every character you create will be yourself. You’ve never murdered, but your murderer’s rage will be drawn from memories of your own extreme anger. Your love scenes will contain hints of your own past kisses and sweet moments.
— Nancy Kress

As a child growing up in San Francisco in the 1950s, I sometimes met insults when I ventured outside of Chinatown or my neighborhood. I have even been spat on and threatened with a knife. I could have let my anger fester until it became hate. However, I realized they were isolated incidents, and I simply got on with my life.
— Laurence Yep

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?
— Tasha Smith

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.
— Maelle Gavet

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.
— Taya Kyle

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.
— Cedric Richmond

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.
— Nora Ephron

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.
— Lauren Groff

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?
— Mike Barnicle

Denial, panic, threats, anger – those are very human responses to feeling guilt.
— Joshua Oppenheimer

I’m sure it’s one of the most frustrating aspects of human experience for all of us, that when we tell someone who’s hurt us that they’ve hurt us, they tend to react with anger because they feel guilty, and we know we also get angry when we feel guilty.
— Joshua Oppenheimer

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.
— Nate Robinson

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.
— Peter Hook

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.
— Yair Lapid

I have not one shred of anger in my heart against Netanyahu or his wife.
— Naftali Bennett

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.
— Albert Brooks

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.
— Nancy Garden

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.
— Gerry Cooney

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.
— Bill Flores

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.
— Terry Glavin

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.
— Randi Weingarten

What’s often not acknowledged about depression is how much anger is in it.
— Margo Jefferson

I’ve done a lot of dramedies in my career. You know, I started as a standup comic, and then the movies that I was doing, like ‘Up Side of Anger’ were kind of like – they’re hard. They’re hard to sell; they’re hard to get made, you know.
— Mike Binder

Conversations with sisters can spark extremes of anger or extremes of love. Everything said between sisters carries meaning not only from what was just said but from all the conversations that came before – and ‘before’ can span a lifetime. The layers of meaning combine profound connection with equally profound competition.
— Deborah Tannen

I think anger is a good thing.
— Steve Bannon

Anger can be a useful emotion; it’s built into our genetic code to help with self preservation. But it can also be destructive, even when it is justified.
— Michael Hayden

The Eyemo was heavy and could be noisy. Once, I was in an auditorium filming a speech made by Goebbels when, suddenly, it decided to emit a huge snarling sound. Goebbels froze, and hundreds of uniformed Brownshirts turned and glared at me in anger. It was not a comfortable moment.
— Douglas Slocombe

I think the core of fans’ relationship is one that vacillates schizophrenically and mercurially from reverence to resentment. Fans fetishize the players’ athletic genius and both deify it and demonize it; witness the way awe turns into anger whenever a player holds out or flips off the offensive coordinator.
— David Shields

I think I have more humour in me than anger. But those two things are great bed-fellows, performance-wise.
— Elaine Stritch

Dying peacefully means to avoid any immediate cause for anger, fear, or strong desire.
— Lobsang Tenzin

A lot of these guys come up and say, ‘Man, you were my influence, the way you thrashed the drums.’ They don’t seem to understand I was thrashing in order to hear what I was playing. It was anger, not enjoyment – and painful.
— Butch Trucks

Our government is printing money, and it’s degrading the living standard of every person in America. It’s the cause of frustration, anger, and confusion.
— Steve Wynn

I’ve never felt that anger is a very powerful emotion.
— John Hurt

What people don’t realize about Donald Trump – and I don’t even know if Donald Trump realizes it – is that every tweet he unleashes against you… creates such a crescendo of anger.
— Megyn Kelly

You see all the movies where people say, ‘Don’t fight out of anger’? They say that for a reason.
— Donald Cerrone

Anger is so constructive.
— John Cameron Mitchell

I’ve been in government and politics my entire career, and while I try to keep a level head and a reasonable tone in my commentary, even I can lose my head sometimes and let anger bubble over and burst out. It feels gross, looks ugly, and leaves a lasting mark.
— Dana Perino

The modern progressive movement believes that dissenting language is objectionable, which then removes the brakes between anger and violence.
— Greg Gutfeld

Anger in the black community towards Republicans is established and immutable.
— Bob Beckel

We need to learn how to organize, not just to let our anger explode. We need to have organization for the long run, not for one issue, not for one murder, but for everything coming to us in the next 20, 30 years.
— Raoul Peck

When you stand up in the morning, you look in the mirror and say, ‘I’m black.’ No. You wake up and you see yourself as a human being in the world, but you raise discussion and raise aggression, the anger that you confront every day of your life, whether you want to or not.
— Raoul Peck

There’s definitely ways to get your anger out and not have to yell and kick and scream and fight people. That’s not my jam. That’s never how I’ve been.
— Sasheer Zamata

It’s that evil twin part of me that always comes out at the absolute wrong political moment, like a demon possessing my soul; it exhibits itself as an arrogance or disdain or obnoxiousness or meanness or anger or pettiness – all traits that are lethal in politics.
— Peter Navarro

Efforts following 9/11 were important. They set a tone. They reminded those who might be tempted to take out their anger on an entire community that such actions were wrong.
— Alexander Acosta

Contempt is the only asymmetrical expression in the muscular facial system: Disgust, fear, happiness, surprise and anger typically express themselves symmetrically. Contempt is marked by one lip corner pulled up and in a dismissive sneer.
— Pamela Meyer

There’s a lot of anger in ‘Queen of Denmark,’ and that’s me getting political.
— John Grant

It angers me to see armed defenders at the bottom of Lost Cause statues, adding a renewed threat of violence to icons that are themselves part of an ideology of violence and intimidation.
— Ryan Holiday

I’m very much inspired by things that anger me. If I see bigotry, stupidity, or injustice on the news, I’m inspired to find a way to make it into something comedic and relatable. Anger inspires me. Stupidity inspires me. My family inspires me. My accountant inspires me. Everything and anything, really.
— Maysoon Zayid

I literally used to stare at my face in the mirror with hate and anger. I’d focus on those gigantic zits and just wail about what a monster I was, how I would never have a career because of my gross skin. I couldn’t pass a mirror with out thinking about how hideous my skin was and how I wished I was someone else, someone with perfect skin.
— Stephanie Beatriz

I think I deal with my anger toward my relationship or about my relationship or about my friendships or my family – I deal with it on stage in a passive-aggressive way, and that can be very harmful if it gets back to them, which it always does.
— Nikki Glaser

A theme that has always interested me is how women express anger, how women express violence. That is very much part of who women are, and it’s so unaddressed. A vast amount of literature deals with cycles of violence about men, antiheroes. Women lack that vocabulary.
— Gillian Flynn

Staring prejudice in the face imposes a cruel discipline: to structure your anger, to achieve a certain dignity, an angry dignity.
— Ellen Ullman

Trump has given voice to a widespread public feeling of alarm, frustration, and anger over the direction our country is headed. For all of that, conservatives are deeply grateful. America needed a loud, rude wake-up call. No one else has done that, and that accomplishment is huge.
— Tom Tancredo

If voters’ anger is the hallmark of the 2016 campaign, nothing has generated that anger as much as the establishment’s decade-long duplicity on immigration.
— Tom Tancredo

To the Left, Islam’s anger and hatred of the West is understandable because they have legitimate grievances against us.
— Tom Tancredo

We live in a culture that wants to put a redemptive face on everything, so anger doesn’t sit well with any of us. But I think women’s anger sits less well than anything else.
— Claire Messud

Women’s anger is very scary to people, and to no one more than to other women, who think, ‘My goodness, if I let the lid off, where would we be?’
— Claire Messud

It’s still unacceptable for women to have negative emotions, especially anger, and I was trying to write against that.
— Claire Messud

With social media, there is a fashion that we speak louder than we think. It has just become a platform where people just judge and spread anger and hate.
— Hazel Keech

Anger about the wars isn’t the only reason voters support Mr. Trump. But his willingness to say what other G.O.P. candidates won’t reflects what people like most about him: his complete break with the party elite.
— J. D. Vance

I can only hope that the Democrats do tone down the rhetoric. The rhetoric has been outrageous: The finger-pointing, the tone, the angst, and the anger directed at Donald Trump, his supporters – really, then, some people react to things like that; people get angry as well, and you fuel the fires.
— Chris Collins

People don’t have any confidence in Jefferson City. There’s incredible anger in the political establishment, and one of the reasons is special interests dominate the Capitol in our state.
— Josh Hawley

I started realizing how the condition of our hearts affects the way we see. If your heart is full of bitterness, anger, and resentment, you’re going to look at this world as a very evil place.
— Danny Gokey

My wife was an amazing, amazing person. Sophia’s Heart is an organization that I founded in honor of my wife when she passed away. When she passed away it was a complete shock, and it was disappointment, anger. I felt all those emotions.
— Danny Gokey

Rage is a really fun place to dance from – expressions of anger sublimated into something beautiful are invigorating, especially if you feel like you’re telling the truth.
— Anohni

I don’t know if I’m ready to know what triggers my anger. I just feel like I figured out on my own how to stay calm, how to enjoy life, how to be happy.
— Rolando McClain

Sometimes, I have played something that psychologically sticks with me, that’s opposite of where I am. I guess I have a lot of anger in me.
— W. Earl Brown

I went to anything that was on at the Lyceum in Edinburgh. I was quite geeky. There was a production of ‘Look Back in Anger’ with David Tennant and Kelly Reilly in it, and it blew me away. I still think about it and look back on it as the moment where I decided, ‘I want to do that.’
— Chloe Pirrie

When it comes to filmmaking, we have to deal with ego, anger, and a lot more; barring all these, how the team works towards the outcome matters.
— R. Madhavan

There have been times when I have goofed up, and like every adolescent, I sometimes did get led the wrong way. I would come back home really scared to face my mom’s wrath and anger, but surprisingly, I never got to face one. She would always tell me in a very nice manner that what I did was wrong and that I should correct myself.
— Karan Patel

Sometimes we equate anger to destructive physical violence, but anger need not be martial.
— Kamal Haasan

When I grew up, in the time of ‘Look Back in Anger,’ the theatre was very exciting, a place where you felt that social comment could lead to social change.
— Tim Pigott-Smith

I never know how I’ll feel on any given day, but I’ve got to look around me and take what I got and find some inspiration, some anger.
— Allison Janney

I agree that sometimes Michelle Obama can come across as angry – and anger is discomforting. We venerate that empty word, closure, wanting to seal off the pain of the past and refusing it admittance to the chirpy present. This, of course, is nonsense.
— Richard Cohen

Real silencing occurs when a conservative tries to speak at a liberal university like Berkeley, and the party of anger and violence acts on their hatred when a police department says we can’t protect a Republican speaker.
— Jeanine Pirro

I don’t think any of us could predict Trump. Trump is the stuff of nightmares. But in talking to people, I knew there was a tremendous level of disaffection and anger and sorrow. I know people felt misrepresented and voiceless.
— Lynn Nottage

Every progressive movement has been built on the anger, needs, and aspirations of the emerging major class.
— Guy Standing

Boys have always known they could do anything; all they had to do was look around at their presidents, religious leaders, professional athletes, at the statues that stand erect in big cities and small. Girls have always known they were allowed to feel anything – except anger.
— Faith Salie

Governments that fail to provide jobs to those who are willing and able to work begin to lose their legitimacy and will face the anger of the electorate.
— Sharan Burrow

You can make poems out of anger as well as tenderness. You can make poetry out of anything. It can be the ugliest of emotions. It doesn’t have to be sweetness and light.
— Tony Harrison

We all can do our part to address America’s anger mismanagement crisis. And for us Christians, it starts with a little more faith, hope, and love.
— Eric Metaxas

Most actors come from the streets, and their rise to fame is guided by a natural anger. It was harder to find that rage coming from a gentle background.
— Christopher Plummer

I think anger does fuel a successful acting career. To play the great roles, you have to learn how to blaze.
— Christopher Plummer

The tea party movement sprung from plain old disenchantment, disappointment, and outright anger at being fleeced by a government who mistook their primary job as being ‘spend cash mon-nay’ rather than execute the Constitution.
— Dana Loesch

On top of trying to find my way in this business and losing my mother and trying to figure out what family meant to me and everything – 2016, there was a lot of anger from me and a lot of anger all around. I think the hardest part was to really realize that all these things, it’s worth it.
— Brian Tyree Henry

My job is to show my clients that their anger is rarely someone else’s fault. It’s their flaw.
— Marshall Goldsmith

I think it’s a pity for him that my father didn’t have the pleasure of seeing me grow up. I think he missed out on something. But it doesn’t matter. It’s boring. I don’t have any anger about it.
— Claude Picasso

I think that crying is a way women and men express frustration, anger, or passion. And we should not feel compelled to mute those emotions.
— Jennifer Palmieri

I don’t hold a grudge of sheer anger at life because of my name. No, no, no. It’s something unique and cool. It’s just a part of who I am. I’m OK with that.
— Tennys Sandgren

I find rage to be the scariest emotion as an actor, for me personally, to tap into. I don’t like anger, and I don’t like conflict particularly in my life. I like everybody to be nice and things to be easy.
— Amy Landecker

The character of Robin Hood stands for the deep anger of the dispossessed against the ruling classes.
— David Farr

We’re not accustomed to giving women the space to express the full range of emotions and flaws that men are permitted. Anger and aggressiveness aren’t part of the scale of what is acceptable behavior in women, whereas men – in reality and in fiction – are allowed a much fuller range of emotion.
— Marjorie Liu

When you started looking at the life of Tolstoy, there was so much passion and anger and drama surrounding him.
— Elif Batuman

When liberals dismiss all Trump supporters as racists, this only fuels their anger.
— Stephanie Coontz

I want to understand the anger in the world.
— John Tiffany

If you know anything about the issues in our country, you know we have a lot of deep-rooted anger and anxieties that spark a lot of passion. When you talk about our national anthem or the flag or race relations or the criminal justice system, it brings up a lot of those fears and insecurities.
— Malcolm Jenkins

We have to take our anger and rage and channel it into building, growing, loving, holding each other up.
— Pramila Jayapal

Now that I’m acting, I’ve realized that I don’t have a lot of barriers. Certain actors have a hard time with anger or with joy or with whatever, and, I don’t know, I don’t seem to have those barriers.
— Jay Duplass

Violence was very much a part of my mother’s upbringing – a little less so with my father’s, but my father was an angry man when he was young. He was angry and frustrated and had no idea how to channel anger.
— Rodney Crowell

I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation with a comedian who stole except for when it’s been in anger.
— Matt Besser

Muslim anger has, of course, been stoked by America’s war in Iraq and by Israel’s brutal policies toward Palestine and Lebanon.
— Amitava Kumar

For me, the association with rock is one of force and anger and aggression. And definitely, in the past, I’ve made songs that attack like that. But what I usually try to appeal to is peoples’ everyday feelings, the things that they’re going through as they deal with the system on a one-to-one level.
— Boots Riley

‘Lose My Cool’ is the second track on my EP dedicated to a stage in the grieving process. This track represents anger. I really bottled a lot up after my mother passed, and one day, I couldn’t handle it anymore and just exploded on all of my friends and family. It was a very passive way of dealing with things, not very healthy.
— Amber Mark

Always, for me, when I am dealing with subjects related to my country that are very emotional, I have to find the right tone and distance because, obviously, I start with anger, asking ‘why that happened’ and ‘why it is still happening.’ I work to rise above my personal anger but still stay connected to my emotions. That’s a big challenge.
— Jasmila Zbanic

Female rage is not often acknowledged – never mind written about – so one of the questions I’m asking is, ‘Are you allowed to be this angry as you grow older as a woman?’ But I’m also trying to trace where my anger came from. Who made me the person that is still so raw and angry? I think that it’s empowering to ask that question.
— Viv Albertine

With the second book, I didn’t have an ideal reader in mind, as it developed quite out of my control, this detective novel of why am I so full of anger, why did I pick up a guitar when I was poor and uneducated.
— Viv Albertine

Mum had pumped me so full of anger, I couldn’t throw it off.
— Viv Albertine

Contrary to what some believe, taking all reasonable and feasible precautions to protect civilians – and mitigating the resulting anger when we harm them – does not need to impede military operations.
— Patrick Leahy

I’m sick of all the hate and anger and stuff like that going on.
— Rose Namajunas

I was forced, more or less, to go to anger management. I was either going to make myself and everyone around me miserable, or I was going to realize that there’s more than one person on this Earth. It definitely has made me a better person.
— Randy Orton

With Thobbing Gristle, that era from ’75 to ’81 was a period when the politics of the time demanded anger and rage.
— Genesis P-Orridge

I don’t know if it’s a male thing, but a lot of our emotions end up manifesting themselves in the form of anger.
— Sami Zayn

If you’re going to make a film about rage in 2018, 2017… If you’re going to make a film about revenge and anger, I feel like that has to be a film about women. I don’t really want to watch a film about angry men. I’ve seen way too many of those.
— Hari Nef

Some people can vent their anger, take a breath, and let it go, but I wasn’t one of them.
— Paul Allen

At times, our collective anger seems a worthwhile thing – it has a weight and shape and force we couldn’t achieve as individuals – but at other times, I can’t help wondering how much it really accomplishes, if in some ways it might even impede us in our attempts to be more thoughtful, ‘enlightened’ human beings.
— Kim Brooks

A song is about heartbreak – but what are the constituent feelings? What are the aspects? There is anger, there is guilt, there are all these different things. I guess putting those voices into dialogue together just felt real.
— David Longstreth

My anger is constructive.
— Beppe Grillo

For writing stand-up, I have to have a little bit of anger and frustration to be motivated to do it. Stand-up, for me, comes from kind of a hostile engine.
— Whitney Cummings

The process of playing a character as dark as Omar Saeed Sheikh is disturbing. So you have to mentally also be in that psyche, that state of mind. So, it was not easy. I was trying to cultivate a lot of anger and hatred in me while portraying him, because that’s what I read and heard about him.
— Rajkummar Rao

A lot of preparation was needed to play the character of Omar Sheikh in Omerta. I watched a lot of documentaries and hate speeches to cultivate anger in me.
— Rajkummar Rao

If I fail to remove Marcos and vindicate the people’s verdict by peaceful, nonviolent action, my methods will be discredited. And if anger persists, I will be marginalized, and others will take over leadership of the movement.
— Corazon Aquino

The anger from Occupy Wall Street is coming from this simple fact: America no longer seems to be a place where you can work your way up, from rags to riches, from lower class to middle class to upper class.
— Meghan McCain

Hopefully, even if I am judged or there’s confusion, anger, about how I identify, I hope that people can understand that family is fluid.
— Rachel Dolezal

I played on anger for the first 15 years of my career.
— Craig Bellamy

I was just unhappy – and lonely at times. There was always that other side of me nagging away, bringing me down. The anger. Even after good games, I just went home and looked at the bad points. It was just nuts.
— Craig Bellamy

Everyone should have a life coach. We learn history, maths, and science at school, but we don’t have the tools to understand emotions: to release them and not hold on to anger.
— Ashley Roberts

Both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have tapped into a legitimate anger about the failures of Washington, but instead of running a campaign built on a positive vision for overcoming these failures, Donald Trump has conducted a polarizing and divisive campaign.
— Mike Coffman

I don’t want to go on stage with anger. And that’s why I worked so hard to look within and change myself and evolve.
— Carlos Mencia

Being a straight white guy in his, like, early twenties – there’s some sort of thing about it. A sort of privilege, a sort of anger or something. You just say some really stupid things.
— Ad-Rock

I hate to see the way journalism is devalued: We have to feed the machine; we have to feed the Trump outrage machine, to feed the anger against Trump, to feed the New York liberal anger.
— Seymour Hersh

There’s definitely an intense anger that I have inside, and I don’t know where it came from. I’ve had it all my life. My mom was always like, ‘You’re going to end up in jail with that temper!’
— Josh Holloway

Anger at the wealth gap is no longer about dukes in horse-drawn carriages; it’s about vast, tax-dodging corporations. This will not be assuaged by seeing the royal family claiming to live like we do. If anything, that will make us angrier.
— Victoria Coren Mitchell

Part of what motivated my writing was anger. I was angry that the daily misery of doctors, nurses, and patients was being trivialised into soap opera.

— Jed Mercurio

It’s easy to hurl abuse at those awards ceremonies like the Oscars and all that, which we tend to do. We tend to vent our anger at things which we feel are unjust or undeserving. But when you’re the recipient, it makes it a lot different.
