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.
