"One of the things I liked thinking about was that you are
not punished for your anger; you're punished by your anger. Somebody
said that to me, or I read it. That there's not some moment when
you're going to be called to task because you've been angry, but
your anger itself is what punishes you, limits your life, and constricts
you."
