Summary

This quote suggests that merely seeing or being in the presence of a virtuous and noble person can have a restraining effect on one's unruly behavior.

A wave of anger washed over me, anger against myself, at my age at the time, that stupid lyrically age, when a man is too great a riddle to himself to be interested in the riddles outside himself and when other people are mere walking mirrors in which he is amazed to find his own emotions, his own worth.
