The thing that started the peace movement in Ireland was anger - my anger. It wasn't anger; it was fury.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I'm one of the people who brought about peace in Ireland.
Through the years I have seen myself as a peaceful person, but the awareness of the anger is part of that process.
If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury; if from a small cause, it is peevishness; and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.
I felt that the IRA, in the context of Irish history, and Sinn Fein were a legitimate force that had to be recognized, and you wouldn't have peace without them.
Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.
Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.
Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
Anger is a transient hatred; or at least very like it.
That feeds anger, and I mean when we went and at last thank heavens got towards peace in Northern Ireland we went for justice within Northern Ireland as well as using security well, as well as a political settlement, but surely that is the lesson.
