"How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him." ― Frank Herbert Topic(s): Anger More From Frank Herbert "Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty." "Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken." "Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality." More In Anger "In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter."― Benjamin Carson "It’s all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward."― Sarah McLachlan "The flame of anger, bright and brief, sharpens the barb of love."― Walter Savage Landor
