Paul Bourget
Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being the helpless prey of impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, and crowning injury inflicts upon him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.

Robert Graves
Where nature with accustomed round Sweeps and garnishes the ground With kindly beauty, warm or cold - Alternate seasons never old: Heathen, how furiously you rage, Cursing this blood and brimstone age, How furiously against your will You kill and kill again, and kill: All thought of peace behind you cast, Till like small boys with fear aghast, Each cries for God to understand, 'I could not help it, it was my hand.'" View quote

Joseph Addison
He reacts to many things bitterly, this pleasant, smiling young man, who is 32 years old, married now, with two sons, a sports hero here and back home in Puerto Rico. Clemente reacts to things bitterly because he is an honest man, and a feeling one. Baseball has become a game of automatons performing in mechanical ways. Scoreboards now tell you when to cheer. The words "Go-go-go" light up, and you obediently recite, "Go-go-go." A bugle sounds, and reflexively you murmur, "Charge!" Roberto Clemente is a throwback, as are many of his Latin cohorts-which means he has his flaws. Anger can twist him almost helpless with rage. But it has also made him not only a leader of men-automatons are poor leaders-but also a spokesman for his people. He spoke out, during 1966, in an Associated Press dispatch of August 23...

How blessed is he, who leads a country life, Unvexd with anxious cares, and void of strife Who studying peace, and shunning civil rage, Enjoyd his youth, and now enjoys his age All who deserve his love, he makes his own And, to be lovd himself, needs only to be known. View quote
John Dryden

John Dryden
To rage and mock is gentlemanly, to grumble and whine is not. View quote
Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine, Two shadows starting to softly combine. The picture they're painting Is one of the heart; And to those who have seen it, It's a true work of art.Oh, the red strokes, Passions uncaged; Thundering moments of tenderness rage. Oh, the red strokes, Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn), Burning the night like the dawn. View quote
Garth Brooks
In the tropics the white feels weakened, or downright weak, whence comes the heightened tendency to outbursts of aggression. People who are polite, modest or even humble in Europe fall easily into a rage here, get into fights, destroy other people. . . View quote
Ryszard Kapuściński
... all his faces were designed to express rage or loathing. Now that something had happened which really deserved a face, he had none to celebrate it with. As a kind of token, he made his Sex Life in Ancient Rome face. View quote
Kingsley Amis
Peace in the struggle to find peace.. comfort on the way to comfort. And if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love. And if I feel a rage I won't deny it...I won't fear love. View quote

Cassandra Clare
He was not for that moment a human being, but a frenzied creature possessed by rage, turned into an animal. All that could be seen in him was the urge to hurt, and it was, as it will always be, the most dreadful sight in the world. (Susan Cooper)

Life is a concentration camp. You're stuck here and there's no way out and you can only rage impotently against your persecutors. View quote
Woody Allen
Women who are daily beaten down, mentally, physically, and spiritually-women who are powerless to change their condition in life. They are a silent majority. A mark of their victimization is that they accept their lot in life without visible question, without organized protest, without collective anger or rage. View quote
