Anger is like ice, and also quick to melt
"Anger is like ice, and also quick to melt," from Maxim Gorky's "My Childhood," suggests that anger can be powerful and harsh like ice, but it doesn't last long and can be easily dispelled. The quote highlights the transient nature of anger, emphasizing that it can quickly diminish if approached with patience and understanding.
Gorky's reflection encourages readers to recognize the fleeting nature of anger and to avoid letting it control their actions. Instead, by remaining calm, one can prevent anger from becoming destructive, fostering better relationships and inner peace.
