At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

“If your opponent is of choleric temper,  seek to irritate him.  Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.” 

“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.”

“When angry, count four. When very angry, swear.”

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice?

Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.

Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.

When thou art above measure angry, bethink thee how momentary is man’s life.

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.

“He had only to touch me to turn my tears into sighs and my anger to desire. How accomodating love is; it forgives everything.” 

Don’t get angry, don’t get even – focus on living well and that will eat at them more than anything you can do.

You build on failure. You use it as a steppingstone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. Johnny Cash

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use

Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

“This was my first hint of the truism that depression is anger turned inward; thus women are twice as likely to be depressed.” 

“I was angry about the human talent that was lost just because it was born into a female body, and the mediocrity that was rewarded because it was born into a male one. And” 

“I myself cried when I got angry, then became unable to explain why I was angry in the first place. Later I would discover this was endemic among female human beings. Anger is supposed to be "unfeminine" so we suppress it -until it overflows. I could see that not speaking up made my mother feel worse. This was my first hint of the truism that depression is anger turned inward; thus women are twice as likely to be depressed.” 

“And I was angry because the media took racism seriously - or pretended to - but with sexism, they rarely bothered even to pretend.” 

I get angry at a principle, not a person.

An awful lot has been written about my temper.
