Mr. Robinson: Do you ummm... do you want to tell me why you did it? Benjamin: Mr. Robinson! Mr. Robinson: Do you have a special grudge against me? Do you feel a particularly strong resentment? Is there something I've said that's caused this contempt, or is it just things I stand for that you despise…

I thought of all the things I wanted to say to you and I swallowed a sea.
Jason Hayes: The problem was I was never here. That was the problem, right? Alana Hayes: No, our problem is you not here even when you're here.
You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what YOU want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No! You walk around telling me what to do, what not to do! Trying to make me be like you! Well, I'm not going to be like you!
An expectation is a resentment under construction.
Duchess Cecily: You should understand. He was barely eleven years old when his father died at the She-Devil's hand. Have you any idea? Jacquetta: Indeed we do. I lost my own husband and my son in a similarly brutal and senseless manner. Duchess Cecily: Are we to measure our pain against each other?…
You know what family means to me, Lemon? Resentment. Guilt. Anger. Easter egg hunts that turn into knife fights.
Why didn't you stand up for me? Why weren't you there? Why can't you do one single thing you say you're going to do? You act like you want me to come see you, but you don't know how to have me here. You don't know how to deal with it. You don't know to even have a conversation with me.
— Lena Dunham, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Jessa Johansson, Jemima Kirke, imdb.com
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
I built this whole life — I’m building a whole house — just to prove to everyone I don’t love you anymore. That I don’t need you, that I don’t want you, that I don’t miss you.
It’s really easy to put the blame on someone else and cry sabotage instead of admitting to your own failure.
Resentment and vagueness are what darkness and disease feed and flourish on.
A young lady I know, let's call her Elaine, happened to find herself overwhelmed with feelings of resentment and hostility for her friend, let's call him George.

One of the techniques they teach to get rid of a resentment toward somebody is to pray for him or her to get everything that you want for yourself in life-to be loved, to be successful, to be healthy, to be rich, to be wonderful, to be happy, to be alive with the light and the love of the universe.…
Resentment and anger are bad for your blood pressure and your digestion.
You are yourself participating in the pain you harbor, that's why you harbor it. It's not about allocation of blame (we aren't in court!) it's about moving into a different perspective where we can live in peace.
i don’t know how to say thank you without saying fuck you.
Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn’t change the heart of others— it only changes yours.
All prejudices emanate from the bowels. – Sitting still – is the real sin against the Holy Ghost.
I am always amazed by people who know something is wrong but still insist on ignoring it, as if that will somehow make it go away. They spare themselves the confrontation, but end up boiling in resentment anyway.
