And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my fingers upon thee!

Those who are free from anger are free from death.

In the nurturing family...parents see themselves as empowering leaders not as authoritative bosses. They see their job primarily as one of teaching their children how to be truly human in all situations. They readily acknowledge to the child their poor judgment as well as their good judgment; their hurt, anger, or disappointment as well as their joy. The behavior of these parents matches what they say.
(Virginia Satir (20th century), U.S. family therapist and author. The New Peoplemaking, ch. 2 (1988).)

How prone we are to come to the consideration of every question with heads and hearts pre-occupied! How prone to shrink from any opinion, however reasonable, if it be opposed to any, however unreasonable, of our own! How disposed are we to judge, in anger, those who call upon us to think, and encourage us to enquire! To question our prejudices seems nothing less than sacrilege; to break the chains of our ignorance, nothing short of impiety!
(Frances Wright (1795-1852), Scottish author and speaker; relocated to America. Course of Popular Lectures, lecture 1 (1829).)

No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:—
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.
(Francis Miles Finch (1827-1907). The Blue and the Gray (l. 24-31). . .
Family Book of Best Loved Poems, The. David L. George, ed. (1952) Doubleday & Company.)

Children are as destined biologically to break away as we are, emotionally, to hold on and protect. But thinking independently comes of acting independently. It begins with a two-year-old doggedly pulling on flannel pajamas during a July heat wave and with parents accepting that the impulse is a good one. When we let go of these small tasks without anger or sorrow but with pleasure and pride we give each act of independence our blessing.
(Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century), U.S. journalist. Child-Wise, ch. 14 (1994).)

Now that adolescence is accessible to the multitude and not restricted to gentlemen and lords, many adults are taking alarm at what seems to be a barbaric horde of scruffy girls and boys out to dismantle the structure of society. It is hard to see any virtue in it at all. What the grown-ups see in its stead is considerable evidence of pride, covetousness, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth, and a great deal of lust.
(Louise J. Kaplan (20th century), U.S. psychologist. Adolescence, ch. 1 (1984).)

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
