Quote by Johann Kaspar Lavater
He submits to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion.
Summary
This quote suggests that when a person loses control of their emotions and allows themselves to become consumed by anger or rage, they are willingly subjecting themselves to scrutiny and judgment by others. Just as one can examine minute details under a microscope, others will meticulously observe and judge their behavior during moments of strong emotion. The quote serves as a reminder to exercise control over one's emotions to avoid being seen in a vulnerable and potentially negative light.
