Quotes About Outrage

Brazil is a dump.

I knew that they were about to attack the man and I was both afraid and angry, repelled and fascinated. I both wanted it and feared the consequences, was outraged and angered at what I saw and yet surged with fear; not for the man or of the consequences of an attack, but of what the sight of violence might release in me. And beneath it all there boiled up all the shock-absorbing phrases that I had learned all my life. I seemed to totter on the edge of a great dark hole.
~ Ralph Ellison
A mob is a society of bodies voluntarily bereaving themselves of reason, and traversing its work. The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night.

You've stolen a priest right out of a holy priory!

La cólera ante la injusticia se llama indignación.
~ Walter Riso
La indignación puede definirse como un sentimiento de cólera ante la injusticia. Cuando sentimos una oleada de ácido clorhídrico en el estómago, cuando se nos va la voz o nos ponemos rojos de la rabia, cuando no podemos pegar el ojo pensando en lo que nos hicieron, cuando una fuerza interior desconocida nos impide olvidar, es probable, aunque no definitivo, que estemos frente a un derecho vital.
~ Walter Riso
I might as well forget the formal legal process: this was where I was being tried, by these thousands and thousands of people who had nothing at stake and who were enjoying every moment of their own outrage. It was completely beyond my control.
~ Wendy James
Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrikes. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: 'My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.' That is the tone of innocence.
~ Whittaker Chambers

President Jefferson and the members of the current Congress.

~ James L. Haley
Asking a question whose echo has been heard each time America went to war since, Goldman said, "How else is the world to take America seriously when democracy at home is daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, and peaceable assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal gangsters in uniform?

You barbarians!' he yelled. 'I'll sue the council for every penny it's got! I'll have you hung, drawn and quartered! And whipped! And boiled...until...until...until...until you've had enough.' Ford was running after him. Very very fast. 'And then I will do it again!' yelled Arthur, 'And when I've finished I will take all the little bits, and I will jump on them!

The President in particular is very much a figurehead – he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character.
~ Douglas Adams
That light of outrage is the light of history
