About This Quote

Hoga Gothyelk no longer felt anger, not truly -- only varieties of sorrow. This quote is a profound statement that shows that even the most emotional and passionate person cannot be angry all the time. Most of us have a general understanding that anger, jealousy and hurt can consume a person, but it is much harder for people to accept that there are other states of mind that can also come to pass.
