Angry Quote by Edwin Hodge
“People, by nature, have a tendency to snap. We get upset at things. We get angry. I'm sure everybody has said, once or twice in their life, "God, I just want to kill you!" That's just a thought that we have. That's a natural thought. It is only when people act upon that, that it becomes this huge deal.”
