Meaning of “Angry people are not always wise.”
Strong emotion can narrow judgment, so being certain while angry is not the same as being correct.
Where does it come from?
Pride and Prejudice; the line is preserved in the novel’s dialogue about anger, judgment, and the limits of certainty while emotions are high.
Why the local voice matters
The Pride and Prejudice narrator comments on Caroline Bingley’s angry attempt to disparage Elizabeth.
