If you’ve ever contemplated revenge, beware of where your thoughts might lead…. Understand how passion makes you strong, but know also when it renders you weak. What act of wickedness would you inflict on someone merely because you did not get your way? Before you embrace vengeance, remove yourself from your selfish interior life. Go outside and walk and observe and learn from the world. There is artistry and solace in everything and everyone. Let them feed you. Learn to harness your passions, your appetites. …consider how you might perfect the art of living.
— Jacqueline Deval (Reckless Appetites)
