The bare recollection of anger kindles anger.

Summary

This quote suggests that simply recalling or thinking about anger has the power to ignite or fuel one's anger. It implies that dwelling on past anger or holding onto grudges can only serve to deepen and prolong those negative emotions. In other words, the act of remembering anger in itself can bring about more anger, reinforcing the intensity of these feelings. Therefore, the quote underscores the importance of letting go, moving past anger, and focusing on more positive emotions to avoid a perpetual cycle of fury.
