“Healing takes place when grievances are given ample and patient space to be acknowledged, when there is transparency and honesty, when everybody is given the chance to be heard, when nobody is excluded, when people can accept the energy of the conflict and use it as a major opportunity for growth.”
― Franco Santoro

“Every grievance you hold hides a little more of the light of the world from your eyes until the darkness becomes overwhelming. Everything you forgive restores that light. So ask yourself, who is it that you are really hurting?”
― Donna Goddard, Waldmeer

“Although airing your grievances with others may help you feel less alone and on rare occasions gets you good advice, more often than not it keeps you stuck in a bad mood.”
― Richard Carlson, Don't Get Scrooged: How to Thrive in a World Full of Obnoxious, Incompetent, Arrogant, and Downright Mean-Spirited People

“Lift me, Gift me
some flowers
Pale and rare.
Bereave me of love,
Tear me bare.

I was all chasing your Shadow
In a desert Vast
I had to tell thee Numberless
Grievances of past”
― Mirza Sharafat Hussain Beigh

“In a world of rampant lying, where so many lies are used to inflame passions and justify false grievances, the indiscriminate pursuit of justice leads sooner or later to insanity, mass murder, and the ruin of entire civilizations. Therefore, those who wish to punish the current and future generations for the unequities of a generation long gone, and who equate justice with revenge, are the most dangerous people in the world.”
― Dean Koontz, Deeply Odd

“The recitation of grievances was strange balm.”
― Regina O'Melveny, The Book of Madness and Cures

“Grievances are a form of impatience. Griefs are a form of patience.”
― Robert Frost, The Robert Frost Reader: Poetry and Prose

“Complaining about a person is way less annoying when we complain to that person.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Fascism feeds on social and economic grievances, including the belief that the people over there are receiving better treatment than they deserve while I¡¯m not getting what I¡¯m owed. It seems today that almost everyone has a grievance: the unemployed steelworker, the low-wage fast-food employee, the student up to her ears in debt, the businessperson who feels harassed by government regulations, the veteran waiting too long for a doctor¡¯s appointment, the fundamentalist who thinks war is being waged against Christmas, the professional with her head brushing against a glass ceiling, the Wall Street broker who feels unfairly maligned, the tycoon who still thinks he is being overtaxed.

Obviously, personal gripes¡ªlegitimate or not¡ªhave been part of the human condition ever since Cain decided to work out his jealousy on his brother. What is an added concern now is the lack of effective mechanisms for assuaging anger. As described above, we all tend to live in media and information bubbles that reinforce our grievances instead of causing us to look at difficult questions from many sides. Rather than think critically, we seek out people who share our opinions and who encourage us to ridicule the ideas of those whose convictions and perspectives clash with our own. At many levels, contempt has become a defining characteristic of American politics. It makes us unwilling to listen to what others say¡ªunwilling, in some cases, even to allow them to speak. This stops the learning process cold and creates a ready-made audience for demagogues who know how to bring diverse groups of the aggrieved together in righteous opposition to everyone else.”
― Madeleine K. Albright, Fascism: A Warning

“I don¡¯t think that authoritarianism rises out of economic conditions. I think that there are complicated, difficult, and, in some cases, incredibly oppressive economic and social conditions that give rise to all sorts of things. The question is whether or not authoritarianism will rise. And authoritarianism rises because you get a talented demagogue who uses the constant grievances that are always there and channels them into a simple solution: I will take care of you, I will be your protector. All of these things in politics that vex you and that you worry about and that we¡¯ve been fighting about for so long, you will no longer have to worry about them, you will no longer have to think about them, they will be settled. You will not have to vote again. The people who annoy you and who make you uncomfortable and who disagree with you will disappear.”
― Rachel Maddow

“I think the Duke of Buckingham is the cause of all our miseries, and till the King be informed thereof, we shall never go out with honor, or sit with honor here. That man is the grievance of grievances. Let us set down the causes of all our disasters and they will all reflect upon him.”
― Sir Edward Coke, Three Law Tracts; I. the Compleat Copyholder; Being a Discourse of the Antiquity and Nature of Manors and Copyholds, &C. II. a Reading on 27 Edward Th

“The German deli was run by a distant cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm and the Great Neck Jews loved the place; they flocked to Kuch's. They said to one another, What a character he is, Otto, strictly old country, I'm telling you. Gus didn't think that Negroes would rush to shop in a store run by some retired slave owner, eager to share memories of fun times on the plantation, praising Massa's old-fashioned Mississippi charm. Jews were still chasing that absurd, wishful feather. Eventually, Jews would become like everybody else. They'd elevate small grievances; they'd cherish hurt feelings and ill treatment like they were signs of virtue.”
― Amy Bloom

“History is full of examples of men with deep-seated grievances who embraced good causes, in part at least, to settle old scores.”
― Carl Bridenbaugh, Jamestown, 1544-1699

“The poorly educated air their grievances with guns, the smart use science, discovery and the global internet.”
― Steven Magee

“When we make grievance our traveling companion, it blocks out light, it distorts our perspective, it consumes our hearts until there is nothing left. -- Elliott in Flower Girl A Novel”
― Merida Johns, Flower Girl A Novel

“Strike thought he knew what was going on behind Saxon's tiny hazel eyes. Occasionally when people in the grip of obsessive resentment were pouring out their ire and grievances, something in them, some small trace of self-awareness, heard themselves as others might, and was surprised to find they didn't sound quite as blameless, or even as rational, as they'd imagined themselves to be.”
― Robert Galbraith, The Running Grave

“Grievances only had emotional value when it was produced by someone with heartache, it was useless to those who had nothing.”
― Biscuits Bought In September, Slow-Witted [Ìì×ÊÓÞ¶Û]

“If all the grievances that stand between Elves and Dwarves are to be brought up here, we may as well abandon this Council.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
