“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
Carl Gustav Jung
“But such an invitation and such a stand leads to irritations with the EU.”
Heinz Kramer
“Interruptions can be viewed as sources of irritation or opportunities for service, as moments lost or experience gained, as time wasted or horizons widened. They can annoy us or enrich us, get under our skin or give us a shot in the arm. Monopolize our minutes or spice our schedules, depending on our attitude toward them.”
William Arthur Ward
“I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.”
Clara Barton
“I don't have pet peeves, I have whole kennels of irritation”
Whoopi Goldberg
“Truth, like the juice of the poppy, in small quantities, calms men; in larger, heats and irritates them, and is attended by fatal consequences in excess”
Walter Savage Landor
“What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, 'Oh, our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence, they haven't taken away the injustice; the laws are still on the books.”
Christopher Isherwood
