"In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood, there's an anger."
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else you are the one who gets burned."
Buddha on Anger"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 on Anger"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."
Mark Twain on Anger"Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools."
Albert Einstein on Anger"Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean."
Maya Angelou on Anger"I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist, but if nowhere means that's where they are, that's where I want to be."
"I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents! It's an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. That's just work that's too hard."
"Childhood is a tricky business. Usually, something goes wrong."
"Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar."
