Do you think that anger is a sincere emotion, or just the timid motion of a fragile heart trying to beat away its pain?

About This Quote

Dante Alighieri said, “Do you think that anger is a sincere emotion, or just the timid motion of a fragile heart trying to beat away its pain?” Anger is a common emotion, a natural response to a situation in which someone feels hurt. But anger is not a true emotion. It is a bad habit that can be overcome.
