“I can't accept "our nervous age," since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.” IfsShouldHas BeensI CanEndsAgeTurnsMistakeAcceptingMankindStupidNervousShellsHookPastriesNervousnessStupid Mistake Author:Anton Chekhov
“When anger is not trampling roughshod through our nervous system, it is sitting sullenly in some unspecified internal organ. "She's got a lot of anger in her," people will say (it nestles, presumably, somewhere in the gut), or, "He's a deeply angry man" (as opposed, presumably, to a superficially angry one). If anger isn't released, it "turns inward" and metamorphoses into another creature altogether.” PeopleIfsMenTurnsCreaturesSittingAngerAngryNervousGutsInternalsOrgansInwardNervous SystemMetamorphosisAngry Man Book:Anger, the misunderstood emotion Source: Anger, the misunderstood emotion
