Anger Quotes

“It was them and not them, maybe the ones they’d never been. I could almost see those others standing in the garden where the pea plants were, feet planted between the rows. They stood without moving, their faces glowing with some shine a long time gone. A time before I lived. Their arms hung at their sides. They’d always been there, I thought blearily, and they’d always wanted to be more than they were. They should always be thought of as invalids, I saw. Each person, fully grown, was sick or sad, with problems attached to them like broken limbs. Each one had special needs. If you could remember that, it made you less angry. They’d been carried along on their hopes, held up by the chance of a windfall. But instead of a windfall there was only time passing. And all they ever were was themselves. Still they had wanted to be different. I would assume that from now on, I told myself, wandering back into the barn. What people wanted to be, but never could, traveled along beside them. Company.”

“Anger is just sadness coming out sideways, Wren." His statement renders me speechless, and tears fill my eyes. It is the most profound and relatable explanation of grief that I have ever heard. Until now, I've mostly brushed grief under the rug in favor of my anger, because how could I be sad about losing something that wasn't real? But the grief didn't stay where I'd shoved it. It got tangled up with my anger and it's been oozing at the seams this whole time.”

“It [anger] presents itself as a huge umbrella that shields other emotions such as frustration, confusion, embarrassment, lack, insecurity, inferiority, violation, resentment, sadness, and guilt. There is always a root to the real issue that you are too afraid to step into a vulnerable space and address.”

“When people have a low vibration they are more reactive and less able to observe and think properly. Trauma, sadness, injustice, apathy and anger, all these things bring a person down to a state from where many never get out. Then because these people can't control themselves, they are constantly reacting to the high energies they feel - pulling them down. They attack the wrong target and fear what they need the most. They literally become antagonistic to higher vibrations. It's in their nature and they can't control that. Neither do they want. They will rationalize "disbelief" and prove you wrong to make you confused before they change, even when they promise to change, because they don't want to. And why would they if they can confuse you? Confusion is a low vibration scheme, and as you go lower in this vibration of lies, you feel more lost and confused about yourself. It then happens that you are forced to abandon any group that vibrates at a low frequency because they insist on making you confused. Certainty - which is not the same as arrogance but is instead the knowing of something to be true -, is a high frequency level. And the creatures of the darkness attack precisely that certainty, by making you feel ashamed of what you know, by calling you a narcissist. You find them in all religions without exceptions. Very few people know what the light is because they have never seen their real face in a mirror when the light is on.”

“Avoidance or merely the passage of time will not necessarily make the emotion dissipate. It is simply not true that time automatically heals all wounds.”

“Jednakże zapytanie o motywy, badani mówili o uget - pozostaje niejasne, czy autorka chce to tłumaczyć jako "przykre uczucie", czy "żal", ale w każdym razie jej zdaniem słowo to sugeruje brzemię, które trzeba nieść, dopóki nie znajdzie się ofiary (nie musi to być sprawca krzywdy) i nie zetnie jej głowy. Rosaldo mówi wyraźnie, że zabijanie nie zawsze wynika z zemsty; często jego powodem jest potrzeba zrzucenia z serca wielkiego ciężaru. Edward Schieffelin (1976; 1985b) opisał podobne reakcje zaobserwowane u przedstawicieli Kaluli z Nowej Gwinei. Członkowie tego ludu czasami reagują na stratęzłością, co znajduje wyraz w katartycznym obrzędzie, podczas któego tancerze śpiewający o stracie i ją opłakujący zostają spaleni przez rozgniewanych widzów. Stratą bywa śmierć lub odejście ukochanej osoby; nie musi jej spowodować konkretny człowiek, by wzbudzić taką reakcję. Krzywda lubstrata prowadzi do pełnego wściekłości tupania, wrzasku i prawgnienia rekompensaty(Schieffelin, 1985a), nawet jeśli nie ma pewności, że ktoś jest za nią odpowiedzialny.”

“Alkohol, który we wczesnych fazach prowadzi do podwyższenia nastroju i wyzbycia się zahamowań, później wywołuje depresję i nieuzasadnioną agresję. Amfetamina może powodować przytłumienie afektu, a także złość. To samo dotyczy kokainy. Środki uspokajające i nasenne wzbudzają reakcje złości, ale mogą też wywoływać okresową depresję. Ponieważ te substancje powodują zmiany w neuroprzekaźnikach lub błonach komórkowych, ich jednoczesny wpływ na obie emocje każe wątpić w teorię o biologicznej odrębności tych emocji.”

“The path to healing looks a particular way for different kinds of folk. Angry people don’t suddenly become calm. They have to learn how to acknowledge and process their rage. Fearful people don’t magically become brave. They have to have an experience of being put in a situation that is so unacceptable (usually because they, or someone they love, is hurt in an unacceptable way) that they make the giant leap to courage. Sad people don’t miraculously become happy. They must understand the unconscious ways that they continuously choose unhappiness as a state of consciousness. By understanding this, they can slowly learn to rechannel their thoughts into more life-enhancing and healthy mindsets.”

“After John’s arrest, life came at me fast. At every turn, I found myself in a place where my gut reaction was fear, anger, or deep sadness. I had to learn to Pause. This was my chance to take a breath and get myself grounded. It helped me not to react unconsciously (which didn’t turn out well when I did).”

“Feeling discouraged does not mean you quit. Feeling sad does not mean joy is nonexistent. Feeling lonely does not mean you are alone. Feeling anxious does not mean you are in danger. Feeling loss does not mean you have nothing. Feeling angry does not mean you lose control. Feeling sorry does not mean you are at fault. What you feel is not necessarily what is.”

“There is no right or wrong way to experience grief. Everyone is different. There can be interruptions and delays, depending on how we cope. In addition, we may bounce between denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, there's no rhyme or reason for the order or the length of time.”

“When you're sad, everything sad builds up. The most painfully truthful thoughts arise, uninvited and unforgiving. The brain, a devoted soldier, always successful, somehow manages to rapidly search its host's darkness. There is no escape to what is next. First, all the buried thoughts you locked in a gloomy chest are released. Second, you begin crying over what you never wanted to admit. Suddenly, you begin to cry over things you did not even know actually deeply hurt you. And sometimes, the wet physicalization of your sorrow isn't enough. Instead, a violent madness stirs in your chest and your head is polluted with a red so angry, your jaw opens to fill the earth with a scream so rare you lose a little of yourself. Your roaring voice trails in pieces, like bullet fragments in flesh, to complete the song that is Loss.”

“বুকের মধ্যে রাগ বিরক্তি দুঃখ জমাট বেঁধে গেলে মানুষ তা একা একা বয়ে বেড়াতে পারে, কিন্তু খুশির চাপ বড় অসহ্য। খুশিটাকে কারুর কাছে উজাড় করে না দিতে পারা পর্যন্ত কেমন যেন শান্তি হয় না।”

“Many people, when they feel some form of pain or anger or sadness, drop everything and attend to numbing out whatever they're feeling. Their goal is to get back to "feeling good" again as quickly as possible, even if that means substances or deluding themselves or returning to their shitty values. Learn to sustain the pain you've chosen. When you choose a new value, you are choosing to introduce a new form of pain into your life. Relish it. Savor it. Welcome it with open arms. Then act despite it.”

“So you don't build a ramp. You don't visit her in her jet, and when you do have a physical contact, it's out in the open where it's safe. And when she rolls away from you in tears, you let her go, thinking whatever she wants to think, because that's better than admitting to her that you're too weak to feel safe with your own arm. Then, alone in the dark of a private jet, you smash your fist furiously against the wall until your knuckles are raw and bloody, but you don't care, because even though you can feel the pain, you know they're not your knuckles after all.”

“The truth is, there are not two kinds of people. There’s only one: the kind that loves to divide up into gangs who hate each other’s guts. Both conservatives and liberals agree among themselves, on their respective message boards, in uncannily identical language, that their opponents lack any self-awareness or empathy, the ability to see the other side of an argument or to laugh at themselves. Which would seem to suggest that they’re both correct.”
