furious
To be filled with strong anger or rage and to show it. It is a stronger emotion than just being 'böse' (angry/mad).

The adjective 'zornig' (furious) comes directly from the noun 'der Zorn', which means 'anger' or 'resentment'. 'Zorn' describes strong anger, often felt to be justified.
Sein Zorn war so groß, dass er nicht mehr sprechen konnte.
His anger was so great that he could no longer speak.
To name the reason or the person the anger is directed at, you use the preposition 'auf' followed by the accusative.
Sie war zornig auf die lauten Nachbarn.
She was furious at the loud neighbors.
Common combinations are 'zornig werden' (to become furious) and 'jemanden zornig machen' (to make someone furious). 'Ein zorniger Blick' (a furious look) is also a typical expression.

His disrespectful answer made the boss furious.
quiet / calm
'ruhig' and 'zornig' describe a person's inner state here. 'ruhig' means that someone stays calm and does not react in an agitated way. 'zornig' means that someone feels strong anger or rage and often shows it too. So the contrast is between control and strong anger. In an argument, one person may stay ruhig (calm), while another becomes zornig (furious).
