Rage Quotes

Rage rarely stays quiet. These quotes describe anger as a force that arms itself, a fever that burns from within, and a pressure that has to go somewhere. Some voices here choose to pour that intensity into creative work, song, or expression rather than let it turn destructive, while others simply name the feeling for what it is.

Their rage supplies them with weapons.
