You don't quell a bank robber, you subdue a bank robber.. When applied to individuals, the word quell is often used with emotions: we quell our fears, we quell our urges, we quell our anger.. When applied to groups, we quell rebellions, insurrections, and revolts. Of course, the two words are roughly synonymous, so there is plenty of room for overlap. See next two pictures.
