Quote by Charles Caleb Colton

The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.

The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us

Summary

This quote suggests that anger can both reveal and conceal aspects of our identity. Similar to the way alcohol amplifies our behavior to those around us, anger can display our true emotions and character to others. However, it also suggests that anger can blind us to our own flaws, impairing our ability to see ourselves objectively. Like an intoxicating drink, anger can alter our perception of reality, leading us to act impulsively and potentially causing harm to ourselves and others.

If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.
