Anger Quotes

If you want to regret for the worst move you ever made, make that move in anger because whatever decisions taken when you are angry, will be wrong. Anger is a pure emotion and once you understand its nature, it won’t exist in you. It’s a wonderful emotion if you observe it. Once you get to know that you are angry, the anger will vanish slowly. Anger hits you badly when you are guided by your subconscious mind. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to violence, and violence leads to more violence. Once you start moving in the way of violence, it won’t end. So be aware of your anger when you are angry and you will be surprised to see it vanishing slowly. Read these quotes to taste the finest drops of wisdom on anger.

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.

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence.

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.
