And see what anger can do in a man; how indignant and noisy he becomes, how he swears, how he beats his head, trembling as in a fever... Man, learn the sickness of thy soul, for without acknowledgment of illness there is no healing... Christ alone can heal us, who sigh and pray to Him with faith.
+St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, from Works, quoted in Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk, Inspirer of Dostoevsky, by Nadejda Gorodetzky
