Not that you sublimate: anger simply disappears, and the energy that was involved, invested in anger, is released and becomes compassion.

Dorothea Langewhen Christian theology becomes traditionalism and men fail to hold and use it as they do a living language, it becomes an obstacle, not a help to religious conviction.
