- "With blood and rage of crimson red
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead
Together with our hellish hate
We'll burn you all - that is your fate!" - ― Red Lantern Oath (DC Comics)
- "Genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn’t mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge."
- ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters
- "Rage. Anger that burns so strong it can incinerate gods. That is what drives Kan Ki."
- ― Shou to Na Ki (Kingdom)
- "Rage is a hell of an anesthetic."
- ― Zaeed Massani (Mass Effect 2)
- "The angrier I get the stronger I get! I’m the strongest one there is! Hulk Smash!!!"
- ― The Incredible Hulk (Marvel Comics)
- "Donald's anger issues stem from a fear that the world is out to get him, and that no one understands him; quite literally. His tendency to lash out was wildly unfocused, until you kids came along. He came to me wanting to be the best parent he could. So, he channeled that anger into protective instincts. Every outburst is Donald wanting to protect his family. He loves you so much, the thought of anything bad happening to you infuriates him!"
- ― Jones (Ducktales 2017)
- "Now I've figured it out. The reason for the runaway growth in your power level compared to my own. It's anger, isn't it? Watching us hurt your son made you angry, which made you stronger. So that's how Saiyan strength works. How primal. Turning your fleeting raw emotions into power! Only a pathetic mortal like yourself could thrive on a tactic that unrefined, which explains why it took so long to realize it! But if that's what fuels this body, I shall use my anger! Anger toward the mortals who defile the universe. Anger toward the other gods who have tolerated such behavior. And most importantly, the white hot rage I now feel toward myself... for letting you get the upper hand on me in our battle."
- ― Goku Black to Vegeta (Dragon Ball Super)
- "Fury is the root of my power...! Now... Piss me off more, and more, and more! The more you do, the more pathetic your final deaths will be!!"
- ― Yammy Llargo (Bleach)
- "I'm going to destroy you!"
- ― Mikamo Neru (Blue Archive)
- "Charmander's special attack: Rage. It gains more power the more it is attacked. It will continue to fight until its opponent falls."
- ― Dexter/Ash's Pokedex (Pokemon, "Primate Goes Bananas")
