“Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.”
The Smashing Pumpkins
“A Robin Redbreast in a Cage Puts all Heaven in a Rage”
William Blake
“Experiments with laboratory rats have shown that, if one psychologist in the room laughs at something a rat does, all of the other psychologists in the room will laugh equally. Nobody wants to be left holding the joke.”
Garrison Keillor
“Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Dylan Thomas
“The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath.”
W. C. Fields
“People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing”
Will Rogers
“Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way a while and let it waste.”
William Shakespeare
