Reality has become much scarier than any, even tasteless, imagination. And it should be shown that way. The human soul is measured to its full extent, and such that the world did not even suspect. Books and films about our truth, about our people must crackle with horror, suffering, anger and the unheard-of power of the human spirit.
Men don’t like to have Christ preached faithfully; but it is just what they don’t like to have that we must give them. I learned that long ago. The very truths that men object to, and that make them angry, are the truths that bring them to the cross of Christ.
—D. L. Moody
Politics is anger, hatred, dislike.
All anger is the result of powerlessness. Jean Jacques Rousseau
—Leo Tolstoy
They say that a good person can’t help but be angry with bad people. If this is true, then the better a person is, the angrier he must be. In reality, however, it’s the other way around: the better a person is the gentler and kinder he is with all people.
—Leo Tolstoy

“You may preach up the anger of God, and the terrors of the world to come, but these do not melt the heart to loyal obedience.”
If you relate the truth with anger or passion you won’t convince anyone no matter how obvious to you the truth you’re relating is. Relate the truth with kindness and the stupidest person in the world will understand you.
—Leo Tolstoy
When angry, count 10. before you speak; if very angry, 100.
—Thomas Jefferson

There is no more visible sign of a person’s success on the path of goodness than when he restrains his anger and refuses to repay an unkind word with an unkind word, or refuses to strike back at a person who’s offended him.
—Leo Tolstoy
We cease to be so angry once we cease to be so hopeful.

Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.
—Aristotle
There’s no salvation for a person who’s certain of his righteousness. If someone points out his sins he only gets angry and commits a new one.
—Leo Tolstoy
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
—Marcus Aurelius
The best answer to anger is silence.
—Marcus Aurelius
To forgive doesn’t mean to say, ‘I forgive you,’ but to tear from your heart every reproach and shred of anger against the person who hurt you.
—Leo Tolstoy
Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
—Sigmund Freud
Surely we cannot grow angry at trifles, when the Son of GOD endured such bitter usage, without the least murmur or complaint.
—George Whitefield
There is such a breed of people – there is so much anger in them that they are ready to slaughter themselves.
—Taras Shevchenko
From the anger aimed at people, as a rule, the evildoer himself suffers.
—Taras Shevchenko
