Quotes About Anger

What a school of politeness is such a contemplation of the past! To take everything objectively, to be angry at nothing, to love nothing, to understand everything-- makes one gentle and pliable.

For the indignant man, and he who perpetually tears and lacerates himself with his own teeth (or, in place of himself, the world, God, or society), may indeed, morally speaking, stand higher than the laughing and self-satisfied satyr, but in every other sense he is the more ordinary, more indifferent, and less instructive case.

A man's love decreases with the revelation of defects; a woman's does not. A woman gets angry when a man denies his faults, because she knew them all along. His lying mocks her affection; it is the deceit that angers her more than the faults.

~ Fulton J. Sheen
La persistencia de su recuerdo le aumentaba la rabia. Cuando despertó pensando en él, al día siguiente del entierro, logró quitarselo de la memoria con un simple gesto de la voluntad.

Entonces se atrevió a evocar por primera vez, vencida por la nostalgia, los tiempos ilusorios de aquel amor irreal
