“……there are two kinds of anger: hot and cold…………Boys need hot anger to survive. They need the inclination to fight, the drive to sink the knife into the flesh, the energy and initiative of fury…………And girls need cold anger. They need the cold simmer, the ceaseless grudge, the talent to avoid forgiveness, the sidestepping of compromise. ………Cross a man and you struggle, one of you wins, you adjust and go on_ or you lie there dead. Cross a woman and the universe is changed, once again, for cold anger requires an eternal vigilance in all matters of slight and offense.”
Sarima in “Wicked - The life and times of the wicked witch of the west”
