This is an article series depicting what we people have uttered in a moment of elation, insight, inspiration, wisdom, despair - or any other emotion. The headline suggests anger, and is really a joke here, anger being such a poor indicator. It is instead those other emotions we are looking for.

Try to guess/remember first who said that, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who it was at the very end of the article. These pieces are there to lift your spirits, brighten your day, put a smile on your face, increase your tolerance of fellow human beings - or just give you a temporary relief from whatever you were doing a moment ago.

Let’s start with a fairly easy one. Remember to scroll slowly. Who said:

unless I can’t resist it”

  A hint: uttered by someone who was born in 1893. And the answer is: Mae West. To read more about quotes made by her, click here. Updated 1.6.2018
