“Angry people want you to see how powerful they are. Loving people want you to see how powerful you are.”

Chief Red Eagle, quoted in an email from a friend July 6, 2024 without further attribution [but it is widely available online and it seems that he's a real person who really did say it, William Weatherford/Red Eagle being born around 1765 (or 1780 or 1781), dying in 1824, and being a mixed-race Creek who fought American forces but was also a significant slaveholder in Alabama].
