About This Quote
When someone is hurt, they feel a lot of pain. Anger and disappointment can be a result of that pain. But the person who hurts you doesn’t care about those feelings. They are more concerned about hurting you, and they care less about how much damage they cause. In the words of Edmond Rostand: “Anger is a form of stupidity, as is envy, as is pride, as is jealousy — and then there’s love — which is the ultimate stupidity — and then there’s jealousy — which is the ultimate stupidity — and then there’s love — which is just silly.”
