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.

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.

Donna Rice
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 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
I feel there are very few people who can control their anger.

Iyanla Vanzant
To find gratitude and generosity when you could reasonably find hurt and resentment will surprise you. It will be so surprising because you will see so much of the opposite: people who have much more than others yet who react with anger when one advantage is lost or with resentment when an added gift is denied.

As a woman thrust on to the political stage and baffled by the anger and depth of negative feeling I have been targeted with, Mary Beard’s ‘Women & Power: A Manifesto’ brought me a sense of solidarity, power and determination.
Gina Miller
Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.
Baltasar Gracian
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.

Langston Hughes
I’m a white middle-class public schoolboy so I’m not particularly tough. But it turns out I don’t mind going in the cage. I can dig in. And it’s interesting watching people spar and train. There’s no anger. It’s all technique and delivered with venom.
James Haskell
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.

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
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.
Sachin Tendulkar
The greatest remedy for anger is delay.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
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.

Tarana Burke

Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger.

It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism.
Max Lucado
I do have a very strong threshold for anger.
Abhinav Shukla
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
One of the interesting things about comedy is it’s tension release, and nothing creates tension faster than anger.
Lewis Black
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. As the lady who thought they wrote better than William Shakespeare. As the lady who thought every picture they drew was a Rembrandt.
Judith Viorst
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
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
He that will be angry for anything will be angry for nothing.
Sallust
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
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.

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.

If you get down and quarell everyday, you’re saying prayers to the devil, I say.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

Henry B. Eyring
I’ve purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.
Tatum O’Neal
While I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns, and even attacking the police, only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos.
Barack Obama
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
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.
Jerry Seinfeld
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
With Stacy, it was interesting because you know he was within all this chaos, all these different lives that were so broken and so much anger and so much frustration and their skating came out of that, their different styles came out of that.
John Robinson
Staring prejudice in the face imposes a cruel discipline: to structure your anger, to achieve a certain dignity, an angry dignity.

J. D. Vance
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.

Amy Landecker
My anger with the US was not at first, that they had used that weapon – although that anger came later.
Wilfred Burchett
Life is precious and there’s not a lot of room for anger.
Fran Drescher
Anger, pain and a tinge of joy are the recursive emotions I have been waking up to ever since I read reports on how Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed women in Hollywood for years. Some of these women are actors I have been longing to co-star with even if they reside in another part of the globe.
Padmapriya Janakiraman
I didn’t want to be looked at as a below-the-poverty-line kid. But now I think, that trailer is where I got the ambition. The anger. If we had a better life, I wouldn’t be here. That trailer made me.
Bam Adebayo
GFY’ is about the thin line between love and hate. It’s about statements that are said out of anger that unfortunately cannot be taken back.
Dennis Lloyd
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
Boxing gave me a voice to express the anger I felt for where I came from.

Joey Jordison
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
I don’t think enough players channel the energy of the crowd. If it’s done properly, and you don’t let anger overwhelm and distract you, it’s like a shot of adrenaline in the arm, and it gets the crowd pumped up.
John McEnroe
It’s nice to let some anger out sometimes.
Bianca Andreescu
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.

Epictetus
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
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
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.
Margaret J. Wheatley
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.
Caleb Carr
Emotion is a full range of a spectrum, like colours. It’s not just anger. How are you going to get that out with just a guitar and screaming? You need to explore everything else.

Sherman Alexie
Like fragile ice anger passes away in time.

Matt Taibbi
Every director, actor, and even producer gets angry on the sets. Why am I the only one being singled out for losing my cool or being talked about vis-a-vis my anger?

Afeni Shakur
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.
Karen Salmansohn
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.
Roberta Flack
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.
Chaz Bono
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
A lot of people are upset when you work out your anger issues, but there’s a big industry for music which is furious and angry because, in my opinion, the world is looking for a justification to feel the same way.
Devin Townsend
Anger is one way to respond to fear. I say one way because responses are categorically multiple.
Mark Z. Danielewski
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.

Matthew Prior
I get angry at a principle, not a person.
Norman Schwarzkopf
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.
Colum McCann
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.

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.
James McGreevey
Anger is a good motivator.

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
Get mad, then get over it.

Victoria Osteen
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.
Tim Daly
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.
Antony Starr

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 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
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
Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
Francis Quarles
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.
David Soul
I vent my anger in the gym, and it calms me down.
Samantha Akkineni
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.
Josh Homme
I will do something, time to time, with motor racing. But I’ll never go back, I think, to drive full-time because I’ve lost that anger, that desire.
Alex Zanardi
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.
George Foreman
There are such wonderful blessings in my life – I have this amazing baby, an amazing family, and I loved X Factor – all these moments of joy, and then these sharp drop-offs. I’d be awake, lying in bed, crying. There’s these weird moments of misplaced anger I have.
Ayda Field
Some people can vent their anger, take a breath, and let it go, but I wasn’t one of them.
Paul Allen
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
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
Anger is evil.
Jesse Lee Peterson
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.
Mark Kirk
My tastes lean toward the more negative, angry and eclectic.
Josh Silver
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.
Kurt Cobain
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.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.
Pete Townshend
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
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
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
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.
Karen Salmansohn
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
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
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.
John Berger
He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.
B. C. Forbes
Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.
George Savile
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
In baseball, you have to remain calm, cool, and collected. In football, you can let out a little anger sometimes. It was a fun game, and I liked it, but I knew in my heart I was going to play baseball.
Aaron Judge
Being alone with fear can rapidly turn into panic. Being alone with frustration can rapidly turn into anger. Being alone with disappointment can rapid turn into discouragement and, even worse, despair.
Mark Goulston
I’m an emotional person. Anger and frustration comes out in many ways… I’m not afraid to hug my friends that I love, and I’m not afraid to express my emotions when I’m upset.
Big Show
We try really hard to avoid those conventional experiences, these adrenaline rush, anger, competition, violence. We intentionally avoid that. We try to create a game that’s serene and tranquil and filled with love.
Jenova Chen
I’m sick of all the hate and anger and stuff like that going on.
Rose Namajunas
About love, don’t be a silent partner. And be gentle with your anger.
Sixto Rodriguez
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.
Yoko Ono
When you hold on to anger and unforgiveness, you can’t move forward.
Mary J. Blige
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
I accrued anger from people’s low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.
Harrison Ford
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.
Lukas Forchhammer
It is kind of easy for me to speak out. Just because I am very vocal in my music about a lot of different emotions, like anger, and normally stuff that people would hide, I’m okay with as a woman.
Rico Nasty
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.
Chris Cleave
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
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
As I got older and started moving up the ranking, the matches got more important, and my emotions ratcheted up. I guess I hid my real feelings behind the anger.
John McEnroe
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
Behind every argument is someone’s ignorance.
Louis D. Brandeis
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
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
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.
Eduard Shevardnadze
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.
Charles Bronson
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.
Ron Fournier
Getting angry doesn’t solve anything.
Grace Kelly
When a man is wrong and won’t admit it, he always gets angry.
Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast, or murder thy friend.
Akhenaton
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.
Brene Brown
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.
Adam Sedgwick
I’ve chosen my wedding ring large and heavy to continue forever. But exactly because of that all the time that Dave and I have an argument I feel it like handcuffs, and on anger time I throw it in a basket. Poor Dave, he bought me three wedding rings already!
Carmen Miranda
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
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. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.
Kevin Bacon
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
While seeking revenge, dig two graves – one for yourself.
Douglas Horton
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.
Margo Jefferson
For a 20-year-old kid to be taking on Liverpool Football Club over a contract. To the pit of my stomach that just winds me up, it angers me.
Jamie Carragher
There is not in nature, a thing that makes man so deformed, so beastly, as doth intemperate anger.
Alan Bleasdale
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.
Jakob Bohme
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.
Marianne Williamson
Wrestling is an opportunity to go to a show, be a part of it, and feel the emotions from anger to frustration to sadness to pain – everything that music can make you feel.
Baron Corbin
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
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?’
Colin Powell
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.
Tim O’Brien
Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you’re feeling festive?
Roseanne Barr
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.
Charles Krauthammer
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
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.
Margaret J. Wheatley
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
If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?
Sydney J. Harris
The American people are smart. They’ve gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.
John Avlon
All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike, friendship, anger or pity.
Sallust
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.
Drew Barrymore
There’s a certain time that when somebody asks you a question, you answer them. I don’t think I said anything with venom. If you can express yourself without anger and make it as palatable as you can, that’s what you do.
Reggie Jackson
Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.
George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax
We need all races of men, and decent women, to stand up for what’s right, drop anger, and live upright.
Jesse Lee Peterson
People say that forgiving is my flaw, but I really believe that holding grudges and anger is a waste of energy.
Mayte Garcia
Anger is an emotion, not a compass.
Tom Tancredo
All who consult on doubtful matters, should be void of hatred, friendship, anger, and pity.
Sallust
The anger and the creativity are so closely intertwined with me, and there’s plenty of anger left.
Ingmar Bergman
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
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.
Peter Blair Henry
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
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
Benjamin Franklin
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.
Billy Childish
Anger is certainly a kind of baseness, as it appears well in the weakness of those subjects in whom it reigns: children, women, old folks, sick folks.
Francis Bacon
There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust.
Saint Francis de Sales
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
Jack Layton
Anger is wonderful. It keeps you going. I’m angry about bankers. About the government.
Terry Pratchett
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
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
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.
Richard M. Nixon
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
I get angry about things, then go on and work.
Toni Morrison
Sometimes we equate anger to destructive physical violence, but anger need not be martial.
Kamal Haasan
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.
Robin Williams
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.
Rachel Dolezal
I’d been in my share of fights but never thrown the first punch, and I’m not quick to anger.
Spencer Stone
People communicate anger of course through facial expressions, but in voice, there’s a wider spectrum, like cold anger and hot anger and frustration and annoyance, and that entire spectrum is a lot clearer in the voice channel.
Rana el Kaliouby
I had a lot of anger because I wasn’t happy with the way I had been raised.
Patrick Swayze
Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.
James Fallows
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
When you fight, anger drives up testosterone in both men and women.
Helen Fisher
I can do glamour, but I can also play something like I did in the play ‘Wild Justice,’ where I was demented with grief and anger, and there was snot coming out of my nose, and my clothes were all over the place.
Anita Dobson
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
Intelligence is the ability to solve problems, whereas consciousness is the ability to feel things such as pain, joy, love, and anger. Throughout history, intelligence always went hand in hand with consciousness.
Yuval Noah Harari
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.
Anurag Kashyap
The anger in the Brigade against those who fought the Republic in the rear was sharpened by reports of weapons, even tanks, being kept from the front and hidden for treacherous purposes.
Bill Alexander
In many ways, anger is a misdirected plea for love.
Karen Salmansohn
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people; to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.
William Arthur Ward
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
Anger is an all-consuming fire that will burn you and everyone else around you. Where is the justice in that?
Afeni Shakur
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves – at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others – at what they did or did not do.
Peter McWilliams
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
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.
Charlie Sheen
I’ve got a powerful left hook and a lot of intensity. The intensity comes from the anger within.
Kimbo Slice
I feel like we sometimes let our emotions and anger get in the way.
Trevor Jackson
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.
Luke Ford
I woke up one day, and for some reason all the hate and anger was gone.
Ronnie Radke
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
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.
Kevin Rudd
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.
Siouxsie Sioux
To the Left, Islam’s anger and hatred of the West is understandable because they have legitimate grievances against us.
Tom Tancredo
All I do is have fun. When I’m not working, it’s about making people laugh. I love making jokes about things. Even when someone’s mad at me, I’ll deflect anger with humor. My days are filled with laughter. If I’m not laughing, I’m not happy.
Drew Fuller
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
I do not listen to criticism or flattery, one weakens you and the other angers you.
Diego Simeone
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.
Dalai Lama
It really shocked me just to hear of the fans’ response to ‘St. Anger’ not having guitar solos.
Kirk Hammett
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
I do think anger is so difficult for women. Girls think it undermines their femininity; it’s not very ladylike.
Koren Zailckas
We cannot go anywhere with anger that we haven’t already been.
Afeni Shakur
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
What the media misses is the amount of anger that’s out there. Trump didn’t create that.
Steve Bannon
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.
Chen-Ning Yang
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.
Yuvraj Singh
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.
Kevin Bacon
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.
Nicola Adams
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
Everybody in America is angry about something.
Anthony Braxton
I was shocked at the anger toward me.
Bernadine Dohrn
Anger does not solve problems – anger only makes things worse. I go by the old saying, ‘Don’t make important decisions when you’re angry.’
Lionel Sosa
Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool.
Charles Simmons
Twitter is now an anger video game for many users. It is the only platform on which people feel free to say things they’d never say to someone’s face.
Maggie Haberman
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
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.
David D. Burns
Forgiveness gives you a chance to be fulfilled rather than be eaten up with anger.
Bettany Hughes
Every time you get angry, you poison your own system.
Alfred A. Montapert
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
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.
Diana Ross
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.
David Simon
No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched.
George Jean Nathan
Denial, panic, threats, anger – those are very human responses to feeling guilt.
Joshua Oppenheimer
Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance.
Pythagoras
Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear.
Zora Neale Hurston
Men with anger do not know how to deal with unreasonable, pushy people, particularly women.
Jesse Lee Peterson
I was diagnosed with dyslexia – I struggled a lot in school and didn’t enjoy it. I’m not great when it comes to sitting in a classroom – I’m much more about doing things. Boxing massively helped with that frustration and anger.
Luke Campbell
People are fed up with the way things are. There is a lot of bitterness out there, a lot of anger about a lack of jobs and concerns for the next generation.
Gary Lineker
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
I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
Albert Brooks
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.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
I just remember I’d snap over little things when I was younger a lot. It was more just trying to control yourself in certain situations and learn how to harness that anger.
Brad Marchand
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
I have a lot of anger about my childhood – being hard of hearing and my relationship with my father.
Lou Ferrigno
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.
Blanche Lincoln
Yogis have human emotions, but the thing is not to let anger and doubt become an obsession.
Donovan
I have long believed that there are fundamentally two forces or emotions that drive our decisions – love and fear. Love has its many manifestations: compassion, gratitude, kindness, and joy. Fear often manifests in cynicism, anger, jealousy, and anxiety. I worry that many of our communities are being driven by fear.
Vivek Murthy
Actually doing a song, going to the studio, and just getting out on paper your anger makes you feel a little better sometimes.
Prodigy
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
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
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.
Jack Henry Abbott
People who are prone to anxiety are nearly always people-pleasers who fear conflict and negative feelings like anger. When you feel upset, you sweep your problems under the rug because you don’t want to upset anyone. You do this so quickly and automatically that you’re not even aware you’re doing it.
David D. Burns
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.
Ellie Goulding
I’m always angry. I wake up angry. There is a lot to be angry about. Anger is a positive energy.
Thandie Newton
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
If you normally go quiet when you get angry, you may not relate to a character that reacts very differently. But if you see someone internalising the anger like you do, you will immediately identify with him or her. It’s these small things that penetrate your psyche and make you relate at a deeper level.
Jaideep Ahlawat
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
Your anger is a gift.
Zack de la Rocha
In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
Lee Iacocca
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
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 that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.
John Lee Hancock
The MMA stuff has been really good, I’m enjoying that. To be able to work with Jay Glazer, he’s a total meathead, he loves all that stuff. I hit him as hard as I can and he’s like ‘Yeah!’ It’s been fun for me to release that anger without putting pads on.
Kenny Stills
A very powerful mechanism to get elected is to play on anger and pick those wedge issues.
Justin Trudeau
Anger tears me up inside… My own… or anyone else’s.
Betty White
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
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.
Sarah Bernhardt
My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?
Fiona Apple
Hatred is inveterate anger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
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
Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.
Ford Frick
So many women keep their anger inside and let it build until they explode and then people blow them off again.
Rosalind Wiseman
I am not deaf. I hear the anger. I see the dissatisfaction, and I have to go faster.
Francois Hollande
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
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.
Paddy Ashdown
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
Don’t get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.
Richard M. Nixon
I wished I died in that attack with my cousin, with my south Vietnamese soldiers. I wish I died at that time so I won’t suffer like that anymore… it was so hard for me to carry all that burden with that hatred, with that anger and bitterness.
Phan Thi Kim Phuc
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.
Joe Lieberman
You cannot get ahead while you are getting even.
Dick Armey
The Way Of The Fist’ is not quite a Shakespearian depiction of anger and revenge. This song was more my way of releasing all the pent up aggression I felt against some people who wronged me beyond the point of any kind of forgiveness or mercy.
Ivan Moody
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
England pulled out from the European Union (EU) out of anger, as locals there were not getting jobs. They also have no work like Maharashtrian youth, as ‘outsiders’ had grabbed all the opportunities.
Raj Thackeray
Somehow the Tories have deflected the righteous anger at the bankers who we bailed out. The Tories manage to take that outrage and direct it at benefit claimants. It’s genius. Evil genius.
Bill Bailey
A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off, roused me into productivity and creativity.
Mary Garden
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
Our second phase was to develop a school curriculum that teaches tolerance, respect for differences, conflict resolution, anger management, and other attributes of peace.
Eddie Bernice Johnson
Eventually, I moved from a place of anger toward the Jews of Israel toward a place of embrace.
Ayman Odeh
Balotelli, and a few others, have everything that I would have liked to have. It angers me that he does not use his talent to his full advantage.
Gabriel Batistuta
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
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.
Howard Staunton
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.
Emma Stone
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.
Robin Gibb
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
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
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
When I interviewed John McCain in 2000 about whether he had taken medication for his anger, I remember thinking, ‘Let’s see how this is going to work.’
John Dickerson
My anger is constructive.
Beppe Grillo
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 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.
Orhan Pamuk
People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.
Joyce Meyer
There never was a social change in America without angry people at the heart.
Keith Miller
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
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 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
I have a very high frequency of anger, and a very high frequency of sadness.
Jonathan Majors
I just put my anger and resentment into basketball. Even the stuff from my childhood.
Gilbert Arenas
I don’t think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It’s to do with how much anger is in you.
Amy Winehouse
When you’re not sure your anger is justified, the thing to do is ask yourself exactly where it’s coming from.
Lynn Coady
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
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
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
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.
Alan Alda
At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.
Jacqueline Bisset
In the heat of our campaigns, we have all become accustomed to a little anger and exaggeration. Yet, on the whole, our political process has served us well.
Edmund S. Muskie
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
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
It’s easy to make a cue last a lifetime. Don’t boil it or freeze it in the trunk of a car. Don’t lean it against a wall for years. If you lose a game to a complete idiot, hit the edge of the table in anger with something other than your cue.
Robert Byrne
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.
Dallas Willard
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.
Louis Nizer
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
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.
Confucius
Love is not always bed of roses. When its unfulfilled, it causes immense pain and anger.
Ankit Tiwari

Stephanie Land
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius
Verbally, I’m quite fast on my feet. I could embarrass or anger most people if I wanted to.
Andrew Marr
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.
Clare Short
I want to move along and become the biggest star in WWE. I don’t really care who it angers along the way, to be honest. It’s no concern of mine, really.
Pete Dunne
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
I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
Christina Aguilera
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.
Peter Benchley
The flame of anger, bright and brief, sharpens the barb of love.
Walter Savage Landor
I dislike anger so much, I even find it difficult watching ‘EastEnders.’
Ainsley Harriott
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
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 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
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.
Ellen DeGeneres
Sometimes with anger you can be much more dangerous than with skill.
Mathieu Amalric
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
Often, we feel helpless in lots of situations in our lives. The way anger gets a grip on us is it seems to be a way to extricate ourselves from helplessness.
Martha Nussbaum
Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time, anger at what we can’t do, fear or even disgust at growing old.
Rowan Williams
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
I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I’ve been closer to him for that reason.
Elie Wiesel
The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn’t angry enough.
Bede Jarrett
Every child senses, with all the horse sense that’s in him, that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly, wondering how awful it might be.
Benjamin Spock
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
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
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
The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour.
Obie Trice
Being an activist is about getting things done. It’s not about standing around shaking your fist in anger.
Christine Quinn
The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.
Barbara De Angelis
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.
King Krule
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
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
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.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
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.
Reba McEntire
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
Hizb ut-Tahrir spearheaded the radicalization of the 1990s and cultivated an atmosphere of anger.
Maajid Nawaz
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.
Gary Oldman
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
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
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.
Jane Goodall
I was never a bad guy, never got in trouble. It’s just that I played with anger and I was aggressive or I really never smiled.
Dion Waiters
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.
Rebecca De Mornay
Genuine expressions of emotion rarely persist longer than five seconds and almost never longer than 10. A fixed smile is likely to conceal anger, anxiety, or some other negative emotion.
Pamela Meyer
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
Anger begets more anger, and forgiveness and love lead to more forgiveness and love.
Mahavira
I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.
Tracy Morgan
Sometimes it’s worse to win a fight than to lose.
Billie Holiday
I have sadness in me. I have anger in me. I have heartbreak in me.
Ellen DeGeneres
On stage, I find anger at the unfairness of the world easily.

Dylan Thomas
Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost.
Terry Brooks
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
Buddha
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
Anger and bad experiences used to fuel my performances, but it was horribly draining.
Jamie Carragher
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?’
Adam Hamilton
Often, overeating is a way to punish yourself for the anger and resentment you’re feeling – either at yourself or someone else.
Karen Salmansohn
I have not one shred of anger in my heart against Netanyahu or his wife.
Naftali Bennett
I am technically not a midget. I’m a dwarf, or a little person, but I consider myself a midget. I just don’t care enough to, I’m not going to waste anger on the word midget.
Hornswoggle
Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight.
William Congreve
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.
Mark Twain
