“For nothing is so hard to hear as that which is half known, and evaded. One never denies so hotly as in denying to one's self what one fears is true, and one never resents so bitterly as in resenting that which one cannot say one has the right to resent.”

“Resentments - a petty one, but most resentments are. And one for its smallness I felt obliged to repress. For that matter, that is the nature of resentment, the objection we cannot repress. It is silence more than the complaint itself that makes the emotion so toxic, like poisons the body wont pee away”

“It is very difficult to get up resentment towards persons whom one has never seen.”

“As smoking is to the lungs, so is resentment to the soul; even one puff is bad for you.”

“... for when a man's spirit has been thoroughly crushed, he may be peevish at small offenses, but never resentful of great ones.”

“Resentment has the potential to consume many who appear to be otherwise blameless. Unresolved caged resentment that one day breaks free and kills all of the delicate innocence in the yard. Acidic, rancorous resentment has gears for teeth that are perfectly oiled by bitterness and possess a judgment unable to discern the corrupted from the good.”
