During the years I lived here, the people of Alexandra ignored tribal and ethnic distinctions. Instead of being Xhosas, or Sothos, or Zulus, or Shangaans, we were Alexandrans. We were one people, and we undermined the distinctions that the apartheid government tried so hard to impose. It saddens and angers me to see the rising hatred of foreigners.

Nelson Mandela

An insult is mean or unkind. Milton Berle called me the Sultan of Insult, and I was called the King of Insult. But the guy that gave me the best title - and I use it to this day - was Johnny Carson. He called me Mr. Warmth.

Don Rickles

The sense that thousands and millions of children and young people are being sexually violated and that there’s this huge silence about it around me angers me.

Sunitha Krishnan

If I love myself I will express that love in my interactions with you, and then I am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction. If I love you, then you will love me. If I insult you, you will insult me. If I have gratitude for you , you will have gratitude for me. If I'm selfish with you, you will be selfish with me.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

People who've only seen me perform might assume that I'm confident and that being ignored wouldn't bother me - but it does.

Lecrae

It angers me that a timed, planned and paid smearing campaign is run against me in the press.

Beny Steinmetz

I think it's better if blokes can admit that they can have crushes on other blokes. I've probably had crushes but never really sexual crushes on men.

Graham Coxon

I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.

John Wayne

For a 20-year-old kid to be taking on Liverpool Football Club over a contract. To the pit of my stomach that just winds me up, it angers me.

Jamie Carragher

Very few of us are capable of being Free Thinkers, needing neither to adore nor to insult God, the insult often being an act of faith more profound than adoration.

Alexandra David-Neel

When you watch me on the screen, you should not be able to recognise me. If people say, you're a natural and an organic actor, that's an insult. If you're being yourself all the time on screen, that means you don't know how to act.

Neeraj Kabi

A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.

Frederick Douglass

In a way, bullying is an ordinary evil. It's hugely prevalent, all too often ignored - and being ignored, it is therefore condoned.

Trudie Styler

There is a systematic flocci-nauci-nihili-pilification of all other aspects of existence that angers me.

Patrick O'Brian

It angers me that sick people have to wait for everything and everybody - doctors, nurses, callbacks, lab results, prescriptions, medications, technicians, treatment rooms. If illness is the embodiment of powerlessness, which, believe me, is true, then waiting is its temporal incarnation.

Letty Cottin Pogrebin

I've probably cried with a lot of songs - in teenage crushes, adult crushes.

Aretha Franklin
