A man who wants to die feels angry and full of life and desperate and bored and exhausted, all at the same time; he wants to fight everyone, and he wants to curl up in a ball and hide in a cupboard somewhere. He wants to say sorry to everyone, and he wants everyone to know just how badly they've all let him down. Nick Hornby
About This Quote

This quote is helpful when it comes to anger. The best way to deal with anger is to accept it and move on. When you are caught in the middle of anger, try to control your focus. Focus on the feeling of anger and not so much on what caused it. When you give in to anger, you are letting your emotions take over your actions which will only make things worse.
