I suspect this is hardly what you're recalling, and that the experts in this
group will, but Pound said in the Cantos, "Never lose your life in anger" [a
quote from the Analects?]; and also, "Neither mess with a man's politics or
his religion."  Sorry if this doesn't help with your paper, but they're apt
sentiments nonetheless.

about how you shouldnt write something that you, under some emotion,
wouldnt actually say?  i need it for a paper and i cant find it.
