Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is. If there are rats in the cellar, you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me ill tempered; it only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am.
- C.S. Lewis
