"You cannot be afraid. There is good anger. It is the anger of seeing clearly. It's the anger the Old Ones warned me about. Yu must learn to control that anger, then it can be of use. But there is bad anger, too. It is the anger of people who only want their own way. That anger is selfish. It is a child's anger, and you must not back down from that anger. If you back down from it, you are being a coward. You will use your gifts well if you stop being afraid of other people's bad anger. You are a keeper of the fire. Keepers of the fire cannot be cowards. They are carrying the light."
'Dan," in Kent Nerburn's book "Neither Wolf Nor Dog."
