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

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

I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.

I have some anger issues.

The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.

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.

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. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

Anger has a way of seeping into every other emotion and planting itself in there.

Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.

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.
