Quote by Margery Allingham

When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst of the most violent amongst us.

When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passio

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone who is typically calm and composed reaches a moment of anger or frustration, their outburst can be more startling and impactful than someone who is naturally prone to anger. This is because their sudden eruption goes against their established temperament and therefore feels more intense and unexpected. It highlights the power of pent-up emotions hidden beneath a seemingly even-tempered exterior, making such outbursts more significant and attention-grabbing.
